Mayhaps noted here before, still just good to savor an 'ol rocker speaking out. Looking for a leader indeed.

LOS ANGELES, April 17 — Neil Young, who has periodically touched on political themes during a four-decade career, plans to release a hastily recorded new album ruminating on the war in Iraq and directly calling for the impeachment of President Bush.


The titles on the album include "Let's Impeach the President," which features Mr. Bush's voice overlaid above a 100-voice choir singing, "Flip flop." Another title is "Lookin' for a Leader." The album also includes an a cappella version of "America the Beautiful," sung by Mr. Young with the choir.

2. That wily Canadian...I love Neil! Although as I just said in another post,

I think we're past impeachment and into treason.
REAL treason, not stained blue dress treason.

ON EDIT: My hubby's upstairs in the studio and he JUST STARTED playing Cinnamon Girl as I posted the original messageB-)

3. Good for Neil! Also check out Pink's single w/Indigo Girls

I think the title is "Mr. President" or something similar. It features lines like "Let me tell you about hard work ... " and points out all the freedoms * has taken away from people.

4. "hastily recorded"? what kind of crack is that?

Oh, sorry, I didn't spend a year in the studio adding in 92 tracks of background vocals to make it ethereal.
Seems to me an artist in a sudden burst of inspiration could produce his best work in years in just a few days. Should all "live" concert recordings be considered "hastily recorded"?

5. your right it's a crack

thing is the person that wrote it probably doesn't have any musical talent and doesn't understand or know that Neil works the way you just described ' in bursts of inspiration' and Neil goes for it.....it's called talent!

Alright, so not all artists may work that way but I do know that I work that way with certain mediums. I get in what I call 'the zone' I'm jamming!
