1. I'll order it today.

And post here about it once I've listened to it.

[IChing]

2. You can listen to now for free, which I am doing

listening to the "flags of freedom" now

[RebelOne]

4. You can also go to his Web site at

http://www.neilyoung.com to hear the album.

7. Man, I can't get it to load!!!

I guess that's encouraging... the site is incredibly busy, which must mean loads of folks are listening to the album.

3. Me Too - Blown away

I heard some of it on the radio this morning -- powerful stuff. Also an interview w/Neil that some airheaded CNN-bot did. She asked the most stupid questions, but ol' Neil fired back with both barrels. When she made the typical comment that "well, you're a Canadian so what gives you the right to criticize....", Neil responded with, paraphrasing, "I've lived here 40 years, I've paid taxes here for 40 years, I'm proud of my America wife, my American children and my American family." Neil rocks.

:yourock"

5. Amen-- I've been streaming it all morning.

Let this be the anthem of our time.

[wake.up.america]

14. This is not anti-Bush. It is anti-lies, anti-war, anti-

incompetence, anti-greed, anti-destroying the environment, anti-intolerance, anti-self righteousness, and anti-belligerence. It just so happens Bush is all of the above.

Neil does not need the money. I bet he feels good about the impact he is making in helping unload the sorry jerks who have stunk up the White House since Rove took over.

[IChing]

22. Agreed he even said that impeaching the president would do

the republicans a favor and might help restore any dignity or credibility they once had.

I myself don't think it will, sorta like a reformed nazi or child abuser, the trust is gone and my eye will always be on them.

[wake.up.america]

25. I agree and it will be the duty of everybody to restore faith in...

government. Please believe me, I travel around Europe very often and most of use are VERY disappointed with America. Restoring faith in America is imperative.

[VolcanoJen]

6. Ooooooh I'd really love to see that interview

Any idea where I might be able to find that online?

I'd get a real kick out of watching Neil give some CNN bunny the business. :-)

[IChing]

8. yes it is here

[VolcanoJen]

12. I heart you

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Didn't you love it when she asked him

what is your song 'Impeach the President' about?

My husband yelled out "gardening! What do you think it is about you idiot?"

[IChing]

11. Removing weeds from the garden of democracy? LOL n/t

[VolcanoJen]

26. LOL... I wanted him to say, "Well, it's about pudding."

That reporter certainly made her beliefs clear, didn't she? Even at the end of the segment, when that (hunky and cute) entertainment anchor told her that suggestions that Neil is doing this for publicity are ridiculous.

She raised an eyebrow, and mumbled something.

[johnnie]

27. It seemed like the anchor was a little cynical at first also

And then became almost supportive after the interview. Pretty wild.

[SiouxJ]

10. Does anybody have the lyrics

to "Let's Impeach the President"? I have a few people I want to send them to. I could only find an animated version on his site.

[onenote]

15. I found these on line. Can't confirm...

Let’s impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door

He’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war

Let’s impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones

What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
Would New Orleans have been safer that way
Sheltered by our government’s protection
Or was someone just not home that day?

Let’s impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected

Thank god he’s cracking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There’s lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean

Thank God

[SiouxJ]

16. Thank you! n/t

[IChing]

18. The thing is he uses the president's voice and speeches

and says lie, fib etc. and that doesn't come through in the lyrics.

[SiouxJ]

19. Oh yeah, I know. I'm sending them the link to the stream too

But some won't take the time so I thought I'd post the lyrics to get their interest. Thanks.

[incapsulated]

24. I'm looking for all the lyrics, someplace

Anyone know where I can find them (not the neilyoung.com site, that is difficult to follow)?

[SiouxJ]

30. Yeah, I know. Somebody tell Neil, "form follows function"

Cool looking site but damn hard to navigate. I gave up.

[onenote]

13. just put it on ...I'm nearly in tears

just incredible

[IChing]

17. Yea, me too, it is powerful

The chorus he uses gives everyone a voice to his words
Brilliant use, it wouldn't have the power if he hadn't used it
for we the people, are the choir.

[johnnie]

20. Listening now

I tried a few times this morning but the site was jammed. So far it is one of his best. Neil has been one of my favorites for a long time and I have heard the good and the bad from him, and this is one of his best in a long long time.

It is so fucking cool to hear a whole album calling out this administration. I hope it becomes a trend.

[Initech]

21. May 9th is going to be a great day for music!

New Chili Peppers album Stadium Arcadium and new Neil Young album - awesome!

[Beelzebud]

28. New Tool album on May 2nd as well.

[Initech]

29. Hell yes!

David Gilmour's solo releases are being reissued Tuesday as well! :woohoo:

[Bob3]

23. listening right now - I am utterly in awe - fabulous

I'm not much into Neil Young's music but this this this is magic.

[kitty1]

31. Got early tkts to his concert in Winnipeg in July. Can't wait!
