Neil Youngs new album, Living with War, is an incendiary, moving, totally American document of peaceful protest that is going to make a lot of people crazy one way or another.
And theres no doubt that the centerpiece of the album, a song called Lets Impeach The President, performed as a melodic, rocking, campfire ode will be what causes the most controversy.

Here, for the first time, the lyrics to Neil Youngs Lets Impeach the President:
Lets impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
Hes the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war

Hey! Watch the "old grandma" jokes! (Actually, as I write this, I have a granddaughter in the hospital about to make me a GREAT-grandma! ;o)
Lets impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
I hate to even comment on these inane unoriginal lyrics, but would Neil prefer to give Osama a verbal censor in the UN? What would he have done after 9/11, and how long would that have lasted?
He might be the hole in the donut himself.
Some one needs to pen new words to an old song for old neil "I've been searching for a working brain"
Now he just searches for working brain cells.
Sorry about that! By the way, congratulations on your great-grandchild. Tommorrow's my son's 2nd birthday, so I get a little misty eyed when I hear of new births around this time of year.
Good quote, but it's certainly not limited to Southern men, right? :-)
Off key, tone-deaf, riff-mauling, aging stoner from Toronto...pffffttt.
Certainly not!
Southern women don't need him around either!LOL!
Everywhere in the world, on any dance floor, when the opening notes to "Sweet Home Alabama" are played, USA boots will still hit the floor.
Even if they have never actually stepped a foot in Alabama.
He may not have been a heroin addict, but even a non-heroin addict knows you don't give a heroin addict (former bandmate Danny Whitten) $50 and a plane ticket to LA.
Gee, I wonder what a heroin addict is gonna do in LA with $50?
The answer? He will BUY MORE HEROIN. This is exactly what Danny Whitten did - and he died of an overdose from that heroin, courtesy of Neil Young.
Way to 'help' your friend, Neil.
I dont think even WMDs matter to these hateful America haters anymore (if it ever did).
They have grown so hate-crazy against President Bush and the W.O.Terror that they can't see the forest for the trees.
It's almost akin to the French Revolution (not sure if thats a good example) where the masses of people go around attacking or killing anyone and everyone they perceive not to be a common thug.
Who said he has no right to speak his mind? We're discussing that what he's saying is inane.
