TORONTO — Neil Young's "Helpless" has been named the Great Canadian Tune after an online poll conducted by Toronto arts festival Luminato.
"Helpless" topped nine other Canadian guitar-driven tracks, with 3,701 votes from a total of 19,217.
Now, Luminato organizers are inviting the public to perform the song in unison at the city's Yonge-Dundas Square.
The goal is to break the Guinness World Record for the world's largest guitar ensemble, currently held by a town in Germany that saw 1,802 guitarists assemble to perform Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" in 2007.
The effort will take place on June 6 at 4 p.m. ET, with registration beginning two hours earlier.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
