Interesting. That was *exactly* my impression on
hearing it. I found myself thinking back to the
60s, back when I used to hire Neil for concerts
(when he was with Buffalo Springfield and they
charged only $1500 a night) -- the music that was
being produced to protest *that* war, the way that
young people actually seemed to *care* about what
their country did in their name, the protests, the
protest songs, the young people willing to go to
jail to stand up to tyrants.
And then I looked around at the America of today
and realized that it took an old fart *from* that
era to do it again, to show some balls and release
an album of "We're mad as hell and we're not going
to take it any more" ballads. It's really, really,
sad what has happened to America and Americans in
just under four decades.
A recent poll taken in Europe asked people on the
street what country they would miss the least if
it and all its people disappeared from the planet
tomorrow. Nope...number one was *not* Israel...it
was the USA.
Karma, dudes...you act like greedy, self-serving
assholes long enough, and sooner or later the
world figures out that you really *are* greedy,
self-serving assholes... :-)
