That decrepit old hippie isn't "Living with War." He's cooling his heels in Canada.
The troops....they're "living with war." The Iraqis and Afghans are "living with war." We civilians over here are "living with war."
What a pompous ass Neil Young is.

...so this is going to be an album against mindless, murder by militant extremist Moslems that want to exterminate all in the world that's not like them... right?
Not about how wrong it is to defend yourself and try and save civilization... right?
ya... right.

Calculated marketing decision.
They are banking on the rabid nuttiness of the Bush haters to buy the record to make a statement.
Probably most won`t even listen to it.
He will be laughing to the bank at the fools buying it.

Why have i always thought that was Morisson? I definitely learned something today! :)

Young should never have been allowed to record this song by himself. These kind of unilateral, illegal, cowboy antics have no place in our modern society. He should have been required to get the permission of Crosby, Stills, and Nash first.

To paraphrase RVZ and Lynyrd Skynyrd:
I hope Neil Young will remember.....Americans don't need him around anyhow.

Ive always liked Neil Young. At least he isnt Pop
Sadly his view of the world seems somewhat out of line with my own in recent years.
A saw him a couple years back and the show rocked.
The pretenders opened for him and Neil and Chrissy Hynde did an absolutely fantastic version of "all along the watchtower".
Sadly Chrissy couldn't keep her yap shut ant started spewing her political commentary during the show, tainting an otherwise enjoyable summer evening

Have you ever noticed that these people only write anti-war songs when the US is at war? If two countries in Africa go at it and kill 50,000 people, you never hear a word.

two countries in Africa go at it and kill 50,000 people, you never hear a word you need to add some zeros to that. two countries in Africa go and kill 500,000 and you never hear anything. you never hear from the black caucus either. the liberal machine only gets involved when they can acquire funding or control through election.
