Changing The World From Wichita

Roy Wenzl: This story would sound nuts except that it's happening, in real time, in a car mechanic's garage, on East Douglas, this past week and for the foreseeable future.



Neil Young -- the rock legend who tried to change the world with songs, who helped create '60s culture, who wrote an anti-war anthem in 1970 that galvanized opposition to the Vietnam war -- came to Wichita this past week, took a test drive, nearly crashed his car and worked two days like a mad scientist with a mechanic who he says will create the world's first affordable mass-produced electric battery automobile.



Thus changing the world. Rearranging it, even.
