NEW NEIL YOUNG ALBUM

Gregory pointed this out...read here... also in Harp magazine, and Jambase and Editor and Publisher



Neil Young's political instincts have been fairly mainstream (when heard in an American context -- keeping in mind that Neil's Canadian). Neil hasn't always said "liberal" stuff, keeping in mind (as the Editor and Publisher article pointed out) several pro-Reagan comments he made during the '80s. Neil also wrote a song called "Let's Roll" on an album called Are You Passionate? with lyrics that are hard to stomach. Neil is more of a weathervane for the political wind than anything else. So when he puts out a song titled "Impeach the President," I suppose that says something about the current situation.
