1. Thanks - I didn't see it yet

I appreciate your taking the time to post!

[Buzz Clik]

2. fantastic!

It was excellent to hear his points made with such clarity.

[PublicWrath]

3. thanks, I enjoyed that.

I noticed at the end the male host concluded by saying Neil Young was speaking out on an important issue and couldn't possibly be doing it for publicity. It was pretty clear he was irritated with Vargas and didn't want to give her a chance to spin her concluding commentary.

I'm looking forward to the album.

7. What a friggin airhead that chick is....I mean bigtime airhead...

....and bigtime ditto head too. "Don't you worry about being unpatriotic?" "Aren't you Canadian?" Bite me lady. Neil cold smoked her with his comments and defence of free speech, and of Canada and the U.S. and all free nations and of his American family....

Neil for President!:headbang: And Neil for Prime Minister!!:headbang:

25. the great thing about this is the corporate media is putting Impeachment

into the national lexicon.

It may not seem like it, things have changed a lot in recent months. The tide is turning.

Neil Young's remarks would have been viewed as the tin foil hat ramblings of a crazy person 2 years ago. (like I was when I mentioned the word, even in front of supposed Democrats)


Visualize Impeachment!

[Gato Moteado]

4. the most amazing part of this was.....

....that he stated his differences with the bush admin but he never insulted anyone.

show me one time....ONE TIME....that a repuke expressed differences with dems without reverting to some sort of insult.

[ClusterFreak]

5. Aint that the truth!!

Neil is the best, I just love the guy!

[AuntiBush]

18. Can't.

Can't think of one time. Spot-on, Gato Moteado.

[LWolf]

24. I wish such civility were a part of our culture.

It isn't though; insulting the opposition, political or other, is a national pastime.

[rucky]

32. It's because he's Canadian. n/t

[LibertyorDeath]

6. A thing of Beauty!

Bravo Neil

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

8. K&R... I dreamed I saw silver spaceships flying...

Neil still rocks!

[ClusterFreak]

9. ....look at Mother Nature on the run.....

That clip is just about THE best George Bush smackdown I've seen this year....It made my fucking weekend!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

10. All in a dream, in a dream, the loading had begun....

That was well done fur shore!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

11. "What is the song about?" LOL Dumbass reporter.

Young is very well-spoken:

--"It's about living with war and having a conscience."
--"No one owns the 9/11 mentality."
--"Proud to be paying taxes for 40 years."
--"respect other peoples' opinions."

Even made a nice pro-union plug. I haven't followed his career too closely, but he seems like a really decent human being.

[ClusterFreak]

12. Yeah, what is the song about? That was surreal.

Neil spoke his mind, from his heart. It was a thing of eloquence and beauty. I am sooo buying his new CD.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. Me too. And if you haven't seen "Heart of Gold" - go.

But I imagine you have. What a soothing way to spend 103 minutes!

Vargas was so out of her league as far as grey matter and just itchin' to pick a fight with him. And that smug little "hmmm" at the end - grrr.

[ClusterFreak]

16. Didn't ya just wanna.....***steam coming out of ears***

But Neil totally steamrolled her, she just looked like the bimbo she is.

[glarius]

13. Sensational.....Neil Young said it perfectly!

This should be on the home page...IMO.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Thank you for posting this.

Neil Young was speaking truth to Power! Yes!!

[ClusterFreak]

17. kick

:kick:

...sorry...I just had to do it!!

[Tin Man]

19. Neil is 'for real'

Very thoughtfully and articulately said, Neil. :yourock:

[OneBlueSky]

20. watch her face when the anchor says . . .

something like "the notion that this is to increase record sales is ridiculous" . . . looks like she wants to strangle him . . . :grr:

[KeepItReal]

21. Yeah she didn't have anything to say at that point

She might as well send her resume over to Faux News.

[HeeBGBz]

22. Oh yeah, that was icing on the cake

Talk about "looking daggers". LOL

[The Witch]

23. Best part is the anchor's throwaway at the end.

She was speechless. :rofl:

[Shredr]

26. What ABOUT FACE by Neil Young!?!

When would Neil Young have EVER supported Bush? Is there proof of this?

[wryter2000]

27. He's Canadian?

Oh then, I don't have to listen to anything he says. :sarcasm:

[titoresque]

28. He's Neil Young

you stupid bitch! (the reporter) Has she been living in a fucking cave or what?! The man doesn't need publicity, he's been rock'n the free world since before she was born........what a stupid repuke!

[lebkuchen]

29. What's with the tons of makeup CNN women wear?

Hiding behind their poor reporting skills?

[gristy]

30. Just had to boot my old and slow laptop - the only computer around

here with sound - to view this video. Indeed, Young does a very good job in fielding and slamming down all the right-wing talking points in this "interview". The best of the whole thing is at the very end, where the in-studio anchor says it is "ridiculous" that anyone should think that Young is doing this kind of work and taking this kind of position "for the money". Of course, Vargas had made just that suggestion in one of her questions to Young. She was not a happy camper!

[Keseys Ghost]

31. My, my, hey, hey

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

[fearnobush]

33. Neil Young always was my favorite American from Canada.

I've seen him 12 times over the past 2 decades. And no, he was never a Bush fan. From his Freedom Album during Chimperior's daddies Administration "We have a kinder gentler machine gun hand" to His Greendale Album:

The White House always blames the governor (G. Davis)
Saying the solution is to vote him out."
On top of that great bronze eagle
Sun's voice was loud and clear. She said,
"Power Co's working with the White House
to paralyze our state with fear." (Rolling Black outs in CA anyone?)


Neil eternally rocks. And I know alot of Republicans that love him too.
