Neil Young CNN Now! 3:53 re: his protest album

Edited on Thu Apr-20-06 02:56 PM by FLDem5

"George Bush doesn't own the post-9/11 mentality".

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/18/leisure.young.reut/index.html

"The crawl goes on to reveal the lyrics of the album's title track, with such lines as: "I raise my hand in peace ... I never bow to the laws of the thought police ... I take a holy vow ... to never kill again ...

"In the big hotels ... in the mosques and the doors of the old museum ... I take a holy vow ... to never kill again."

Roberts confirmed that a separate song on the album is titled "Let's Impeach the President."

According to some online reports, that song accuses Bush of "lying" and features a rap with the president's voice set against a choir singing "flip-flop."

2. Neil Rocks. Picked up my Pearl Jam tickets can't wait to hear them

slam Bush as well. Nine Inch Nails slammed Bush. Green Day slammed Bush. The only PC concert I saw last year was Aerosmith, but Lenny opened up and was just jamming out the love.

3. I saw the piece and Neil was pretty powerful

I’ve been wondering where the hell the protest music has been. It’s the mega music corporations I‘m sure.

4. He was pissed off and righteous, wasn't he?

I keep checking the CNN website for the video - I will post it if I find it.

6. What a load of shit...

CNN again allows the righties to put forth the not so subtle message - if you don't support Bush, you don't support the Troops.
