HE LEARNED NOTHING FROM 'LET'S ROLL'

Let's impeach the president for lyin' !!!NEIL YOUNG WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS FINANCIAL NEWS: So he made a super-shitty song/video about, uh, Wall Street fat cats or whatever. Just do a blog on Huffington Post next time, okay? [Gawker]

    Toby Keith coulda’ done better.

  2. Guess that’s what happens when you Keep on Rockin’ in the Free(market) World!

    My My, Hey Hey.
    AIG is here to stay.
    It’s better to bail out than to pay to play.
    My My, Hey Hey.

    Just wait until his old car is up & running.

  5. ForTheTurnstiles says at 1:43 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Fuck it, this is unlistenable. I quit at 2:35.

    Somebody ate our monies?

  7. Oh, God. We’re at the last stages of the financial crisis: the gathering of the folk singers. Kill me now.

    I blame Canada.

  10. shanemacgowan says at 1:50 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    That shtick was already old by the time he did “This Note’s for You.”

  11. Custerwolf says at 1:50 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Neil Young I liked. Neil old - not so much.

  12. V572625694 says at 1:52 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    ForTheTurnstiles: tootsieroll: Neil Young makes Bob Dylan seem like a consistent producer of high-quality material.

  13. Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish! says at 1:58 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    V572625694: Bob Dylan’s outhouse for the hired help is a more consistent producer of high-quality material than Neil Young.

  14. ForTheTurnstiles says at 1:58 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    V572625694: I like 1974-75 Neil Young, where he threw Harvest in a dumpster and put out shit like On The Beach and Zuma. It’s uneven but it’s interesting. Mr Young sucks when he tries to be topical. But Shane McGowan pointed that out already.

  15. Capitol Hillbilly says at 2:00 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Neil’s tendency to write political songs has been a problem since “Broken Arrow.” Fucker still gets good tone though.

  16. Mr Blifil says at 2:04 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Keep on tradin’ in the underregulated speculative derivative markets!

    Doesn’t quite scan…

    Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: ForTheTurnstiles: “After the Gold Rush” is an enjoyable album. And Young’s willingness to spit in the eyes of other performers who sell their music for commercial use is admirable. Maybe what Twain said about Wagner (”His music is better than it sounds”) applies to Young as well.

    Best Canuckistani songwriter/vocally-crippled performer? Who else but Leonard Cohen, “The Man Who Depressed Two Three Generations”?

  18. d4g33z says at 2:15 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Neil is basically an Amernican now, and he _can’t say shit_ about those Canuck banks anyway because they’re boring. And solvent.

  19. MarieDeGournay says at 2:20 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    To quote the man himself, “a piece of crap.”

  20. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:26 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    What a fucking hypocrite. He spends his entire life searching for a heart of gold and has the audacity to criticize the money-market.
    Whatever you say, PAULTARD.

  21. norbizness says at 2:52 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Young: This note’s for you!

    The World At Large: No thanks!

  22. Guppy06 says at 2:56 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Countless Mexicans daily, but we can’t have BCIS deport this one Canadian?

    d4g33z: Uh-uh, you don’t get to play that game, dirty Canuck! He may sleep in our houses, drink our wine and fuck our women, but in spite of calling to impeach “our” president, he’s still only a resident alien and remains a loyal subject of Her Majesty.

    Still, if you won’t take him, maybe we can foist him on New Zealand or something. Or maybe Vietnam.

  23. CampbellBrown' says at 3:35 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Considering how well-off Canadian banks are, it’s kind of bad taste for Young to poke fun at our problems. It’s of like your neighbor, whose kids became doctors, making fun of your meth head kids.

  24. hobospacejungle says at 3:48 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    I’ve seen the bailout & the damage done
    A little giveaway for everyone
    But every banker’s like the setting sun…

    ForTheTurnstiles pwns me

  25. This song will somehow be co-opted by the GOP?

    Barracuda!11!

  26. doloras says at 4:36 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Guppy06: We’ll take Laughin’ Lenny Cohen, but you can keep that flying-monkey looking fella who used to hang out with David Crosby.

  27. rocktonsammy says at 4:56 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Be nice, Neil Young didn’t need a southern man around anyhow, and made that hillbilly plane crash.

  28. Custerwolf says at 5:17 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    doloras: I love Leonard Cohen- with the lights turned bright and the sound muted.

  29. Guppy06 says at 6:52 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    rocktonsammy: No, it’s time we take a stand against the Great White Northern Menace! I was on I-95 and I-81 up and down the east coast recently, and the Canadians are driving on our precious highways in far greater proportions than their population! I went north with all the Canadian retirees going north after wintering in Florida, and then I went south with all the Canadians heading to Florida for the summer. “Yours to Discover–We’re Done With It.”

    If “Beautiful British Columbia” is so damned beautiful, what the heck are you doing towing your horses through South Carolina?

    We’re building a wall along the wrong damned border, as the insidious white menace hides in plain sight waiting until they’ve reached critical density, and mark my words, that day is soon! We should eject seal-clubbers like Niel “Votes for Non-Citizens” Young while we still have the chance!

  30. bitchincamaro says at 10:17 pm, March 23rd, 2009

    Neil’s first american car was a hearse. Dude was prescient.
