I remember reading articles about Young in the so-called "alternative" press, maybe a dozen or more years ago that painted him as a political maverick, leaning conservative or libertarian. They couldn't bring themsleves to criticize him, after all, he was a Woodstock boy, and he didn't express support any nasty fascist Republicans. But to me he sounded like another joe palooka, as he does today, not well read, or particularly deep, just against certain things we all ought to be against, but for no reasons in his case that were intelligently articulated or well thought out. As I said, joe palooka.

Right. But as someone else posted earlier, he was beaten down in the mid 80s by the Geffen/Pink Mafia and has been trying to atone for it ever since. I would like to do a little research on this and see what he did between his lawsuit and 1989's Freedom, which started his comeback, of sorts.
