Local war heroes and conservative bloggers say they dont need Canadian anti-war rocker Neil Young around, anyhow.
Youngs new album, Living With War, with its call for President Bushs impeachment, is being dismissed as a feeble blast at the war by a wrinkled hippie whose life span has exceeded his relevance.
Marine Lance Cpl. James Crosby of Saugus, who pushed for legislation to aid wounded soldiers, said the men and women fighting in Iraq, and the ones who came before them, are buying Youngs freedom of expression.
People are going to have their opinion, said Crosby, who lost the use of his legs to shrapnel wounds in Iraq. We have rights because we fought in wars, not because we didnt fight in wars.
Crosby said he does not condone war, but considers it necessary to preserve freedom and defend the nation.
Braintree Marine Sgt. Timothy Connors, who earned the Silver Star in fierce house-to-house fighting in Fallujah, was outraged by the Canadians political publicity grab.
Thats disgusting. . . . Its worse than any lie that could be told, said Connors, who blasted his way into a building in a bid to retrieve a dead comrades body. Although the album currently is being made available for a free download, Connors said, Is Mr. Neil Young trying to make money off the backs of dead people?
Meanwhile, blogger Allegra wrote on Freerepublic.com,That decrepit old hippie isnt Living with War. Hes cooling his heels in Canada. The troops . . . theyre living with war. The Iraqis and Afghans are living with war. We civilians over here are living with war.
RWR8189 noted wryly on Freerepublic.com, It seems that Mr. Young does not abide by his own advice that (its) better to burn out, than to fade away.

"a feeble blast at the war by a wrinkled hippie whose life span has exceeded his relevance"
It is poetic justice when the cowards live long enough to expose themselves.
Just look at OBL. If we had killed him shortly after 9/11 then he would have been forever known as THE JIHAD PROPHET OBL or something such as. But look at what a clown he has become with his Liberal Democrat talking points speeches and offers of a truce to his so-called crusaders.
Young is a clown, OBL is a clown and it is proper that they have lived so long as to be exposed for what they truly are instead of becoming an Icon which those clowns never deserved to be.

I like Neil Young's music, his older stuff anyway (Like a Hurricane & Down by the River) :-). But c'mon now, who could possibly be surprised that Neil Young suffers B.D.S.?? He's a hippy for crying out loud. I really don't care what he thinks. Neil Young and the vast majority of his like-minded friends are beyond irrelevant. This album will appeal to that base of Bush Derangement Syndrome sufferers.

The glitz and glamor isn't all it's cracked up to be. Besides, this was just the Boston Herald. It's not like it was the Weekly Reader or something.
About that lunch. Just have your people contact my people and I'll see if I can fit you in. Ciao
Take care over there...

Weekly World News, huh? Registered can probably arrange that- but he's gonna need some good pics to work with.
How do you look with fangs, or maybe alien tantacles?

I used to like Neil Young and Mick Jagger also. I woke up one day and realized they have crazy politics. Can't stand them or their music anymore. Real sickos!
