Neil Young is a political independent who did not like Bush the elder. Then again, neither did I.
BTW: Rust Never Sleeps is the greatest "heavy metal" album of all time, even though most metalheads never consider it.
I never got that song. I dunno about Rust Never Sleeps being a great "metal" album, but it does certainly rock. I think Neil's heaviest Crazy Horse stuff is on Everybody Knows This is Nowhere - "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand."
Two of my favorite albums, and I also love After the Gold Rush. Oh yeah, this is a political website...
