He did. But that was to support Todd Beamer specifically. Don't get me wrong, "Unknown Legend" is one of my top-10 all-time favorites, but if you dig a little deeper, I'm pretty sure Neil is as lefty as they come. I can tell you this, he wrote at least two nasty songs about Richard Nixon, and "the Southern Man don't need him around anyhow."

I loved that song, especially the line "Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you?" (paging all America-hating, lice infested anti-war types).

Maybe so but to his credit he told Rolling Stone years ago that he voted for Reagan in '84 because he didn't want a repeat of the Carter years (specifically the Panama Canal mess).
