In Neil Young's defense:

He was a supporter of Reagan and wrote "Let's Roll" in praise of the brave citizens aboard Flight 93.

Not long after that he had an aneurysm.

It was not until they cut out part of his brain that he became a liberal.

re: “It was not until they cut out part of his brain that he became a liberal.”

Neil Young has been an American bashing liberal for as long as I’ve known him. He wrote, “Ohio”, in 1970 to protest the National Guard accidental shooting of four people during a big anti-war protest at Kent State. He hated Nixon and our military, hated Christianity and the so-called “establishment”. Definitely part of the “counter-culture”.

Maybe he had a political epiphany I’m unaware of with Reagan. I don’t know.

I love his music with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, as well as some later stuff (i.e. “Cinnamon Girl”, the album “Harvest”).

He always seemed to be a political/moral idiot as far as his personal views go. Good music though.

Then he started hanging around David Crosby again.

I did not know about the aneurysm. I’ll cut Neil a little slack.
