I love Neil Young--(and Lynard Skynard!) I am surprised to hear he wrote a song like that--he actually wrote a song after 9-11 called "Let's Roll" as a tribute to the heroic man (name escapes me--senior moment) who tried to (along with others) overtake the hijackers by attempting to break down the cabin door to the cockpit to gain entry. Thought he was getting more conservative in his old age (as most of us who grew up in the '60s and '70s have.)

I thought so too. Let's Roll was one of the best songs about 9-11 I have ever heard.

"Let's Roll"

I know I said I love you,
I know you know it's true,
I've got to put the phone down,
and do what we got to do.

One's standing in the iselway,
Two more at the door,
We've got to get inside there,
Before they kill somemore.

Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

No time for indecision,
We've got to make a move,
I hope that were foregiven,
For what we got to

How this all got started,
I'll never understand,
I hope someone can fly this thing,
And get us back to land.

Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

No one has the answer,
But one thing is true,
You've got to turn on evil,
When it's coming after you,
You've gota face it down,
And when it tries to hide,
You've gota go in after it,
And never be denied,
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

Let's roll for freedom,
Let's roll for love,
We're going after satan,
On the wings of a dove,
Let's roll for justice,
Let's roll for truth,
Let's not let our children,
Grow up fearfull in there youth.

Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.
Time is runnin' out,
Let's roll.

That was when he was sobered up for a week because the flights from Columbia carrying his supply were grounded after 9/11.
