Coz they were getting a ton of plays on there...
Those 270 medical professionals that signed the letter must be suffering from that mass formation psychosis that Malone was talking about.
“Growing”. Yeah, a few drug-addled hippies who, ironically, once sang about freedom and now press for totalitarianism.
Such open-minded liberals, proving once again that their entire life is a sham.
Neil Young’s Rough Ride: A Look Back at the Freedom of Speech Tour
JANUARY 29, 2008 5:50PM ET
By ANDY GREENE
When Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young tore into “Let’s Impeach the President” in Atlanta in August 2006, they faced an overwhelming chorus of boos and raised middle fingers. The band seemed calm onstage, but today Neil Young says he feared for his safety throughout the entire Freedom of Speech Tour.
“I was a nervous wreck by the end of that thing,” he says. “We had to deal with death threats and bomb-sniffing dogs the whole time.” The Atlanta concert is a pivotal scene in CSNY Déjà Vu, a documentary chronicling the tour, directed by Bernard Shakey (a.k.a. Young), which premiered at this year’s Sundance. Young recently spoke with Rolling Stone about the documentary, the presidential election and his plans for the future.
Rolling Stone: Why do you call yourself Bernard Shakey when you make a movie?
Neil Young: Well, Neil Young’s kind of a musician. I just think that my name is a distraction from the films that I make. Bernard Shakey doesn’t do interviews, either.
RS: How did you first get the idea to make this movie?
Young: After I wrote Living With War I was making videos for all the songs for the Web site. That’s how I met [television journalist] Mike Cerre. He had some ideas for me, possibly going on MSNBC and CNN and doing little special things on there that had to do with the album. It was interesting, but that wasn’t something that I really wanted to do.
I did become interested in the footage. When we decided to go on the road, it just seemed to be a natural step to have him come and cover the tour, since he had covered all of this footage that had to do with what the songs were about. And then, all of the other people that Mike Cerre had met through his news stories about the Iraq war and about Afghanistan, all the human interest things that he’d done yielded this incredible group of people that we had come to the concert.
So we would just go with them and go through the experience of coming and hearing the songs and seeing how other people reacted to them. So it really turns out to be a lot more about those people than it is about anything else.
RS: The movie really captures that crazy period of time just before the midterm elections.
Young: It was not a good time. It was a time when the country was so divided. That time was the turning point. And even though people’s dreams didn’t come true because the tide changed, it didn’t really make a huge difference in what we were doing. Apparently, the Democratic Congress didn’t have much of an effect, but at least you didn’t feel so in the minority after that election.
RS: Do you think the country is in a better place now than it was when you made the film?
Young: I think there’s been a shift. I think that time has a way of eroding things. The basis for this war was basically sand. The whole thing is a matter of how you look at it. And that’s what the film is about. There’s people who are looking at it one way and people looking at it another way. It’s about what happens when a country does something like we’re doing. There’s very few times in American history this can compare to. Even though we tried to compare it to the Sixties in the film, it really doesn’t compare to the Sixties. There are similarities, and yeah, we were there and we’re still here and we’re doing the same thing, and that’s the “déjà vu” part of it. But really, it’s pretty different.

So this means that Crosby and Stills aren’t homophobes too, right?
I thought the compromise was reasonable with Spotify adding labels to content it thinks is misinformation.
Running the content completely off of platforms because you disagree with it, is not a good thing. And these musicians should be ashamed of themselves. In fact a lot of them would have been cancelled in their day by parents if the option was available to them. And if the parents didn’t respect free speech in music lyrics.
Spotify is sucking behind on this debacle
And our side wants to just brush off Whoopie and her apology while her evil comrades are going for the kill against Rogan!! In order for us to defeat these bastards we have to play the same game as they do! Neicy nice and turn the other cheek doesn’t cut it anymore! That ugly black racist witch needs to be fired on the spot no if’s our butts!
The Red Guards of Rock n Roll.
Will someone explain to me how Rogan spread ‘misinformation’?
He has an opinion. Cannot we have a conversation, a ‘give and take’?
I don’t see Fauci getting cancelled for all the crazy stuff he’s said.
And further, we hippies used to be against the Establishment. Since when did we run parallel with the Establishment?
Having said THAT, just know that some of us hippies became conservative.
Hippies always sucked.
CSNY-
“It’s getting to the point, where you’re no fun anymore...”
There’s nothing more “Rock and Roll rebel” than protesting people for questioning the government!
Shut up and sing.
One of my most pleasant pastimes was listening to 70s rock.
Not anymore. I have become bothered by the liberal messages that the Boomers represented.
Drug addict pot heads lecturing about science.
What do these marijuana retards know about science?
‘Teach your children well...’
Well, I came upon a child of Joe
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, “Tell me, where are you going?”
And this he told me
Said, “I’m going down to Fauci’s Farm
Gonna join in a medical cult
Got to get back to the vax
Set my soul free”
We are brainwashed, we are broken
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the darken
Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin’ turning
And maybe it’s the time of year
Yes, and maybe it’s the time of man
And I don’t know who I am
But life is for following
We are sheeple, we are broken
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the darken
We are sheeple, we are broken
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the darken
By the time we got to Sheepstock
We were half a billion strong
And everywhere was a song
And a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the booster vaccines
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are sheeple, we are broken
We are caught in the devil’s bargain
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the darken
Still flockin’ in the sheep world!
