The Herald's Virginia Buckingham: "Teach Your Children Well:
CSNY Spouts Propaganda"

http://news.bostonherald.com/columnists/view.bg?articleid=153336

"Just don’t call it a concert. Call it what it was: A political rally. The aging bleached blonde in the white sundress would surely still have come. She didn’t sit down once during Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Freedom of Speech” stop at the Tweeter Center Wednesday. The woman in the sundress cheered equally for “Southern Cross,” “Our House” and “Impeach the President.” And there were thousands like her, singing along to the words “Let’s impeach the president for lying” as pictures of dead soldiers, flag-draped caskets and President Bush were paraded across a giant screen behind four aging musicians turned propagandists."

The Herald's Dave Wedge: "Neil Young, remember: we need you
around"

http://news.bostonherald.com/editorial/view.bg?articleid=153340

(Wedge argues it's Young's right to speak out. And it's our right to boo him of course)

This is all the left seems capable of doing.

He just cut his income and attendees. Mature people are wising up and not funding this crap.

Using the faces of dead soldiers, and I bet WIHTOUT the permission of the survivors is really LOW. They ought to band together and sue the crap out of him.

Funny, I didn't realize a Canadian had a say in the matter.

Neil loves to think of himself as "cutting edge" (even though his last great album was Tonight's the Night, 1975 ...although recorded in '73), but the truth is no one goes to his shows to hear his political rantings.

Neil Young has pretty much always sucked; back in the early 70s, he pretty much embodied everything that was wrong with pop/folk-rock music although he has had a decent number or two like Rust Never Sleeps and Wonderin' (which had a hilarious video.) CS&N started great with Suite Judy Blue Eyes and went downhill quickly from there; I think they're folkie chicks in disguise, really ugly ones.

Neil who?

Has-been central and a liberal of Biblical proportions. If I am going to pay 50-100 for a concert ticket, I want to hear music not political rhetoric.

I think Alice Cooper, a strong conservative along with Ted Nugent, said it best.....“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.”

And.....

“When I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn’t already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that’s a good reason right there to vote for Bush.”

Nothing more pathetic than an aging hippie.

It's hard to take any musician seriously, especially a Canadian Dylan-wannabe. Sing me a sing about women, rock and roll, love, cars, etc. Keep your politics to yourself, or expect the backlash. Political 'music' is a perversion of the true spirit of music, in this guitarist's opinion.

Frankly the anti-Bush song sucks. Laura Ingraham played part of it some time back. Forget about the lyrics, it's just ba-a-a-a-d.
