Living with War.
Last night i`ve heard for the first time the new Neil Young
album titled "Living with War".
It`s Free to download from his site one week before reaching the stores.
He is reffering to it as his metal-folk protest album and it was written and recorded
in a period of two weeks,sometimes writing three songs a day.
Mr.Young has the ability to write catching tunes while conveying accuretely
what he has to say.
And in this one he has to say a lot.
During the nine new songs he sympathizes with soldiers and war victims,
insists "Don't need no more lies," longs for a leader to reunite America
and prays for peace.
He is talking about "Mission accomplished"
in his blunt statement about the Iraq war;
"History was a cruel judge of overconfidence/back in the days of shock and awe," he sings,
In a song whose title alone has already brought him the fury
of right-wing blogs, he urges, "Let's Impeach the President."
It ends with Mr. Young shouting, "Flip, flop," amid contradictory sound bites
of President Bush.
But Mr. Young insists the album is nonpartisan.
He will be on tour this summer as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
in what's billed as the Freedom of Speech Tour.
