Neil Young's LIVING WITH WAR: 'It may just be the Fahrenheit 9/11 of rock'
BRAD BLOG Guest Blogger Jim Cirile Gets an Exclusive Pre-Release Listen to Neil Young's Groundbreaking New Protest Album…

Neil Young wants to keep on rockin' the free world.

His new record, Living With War, makes very clear that if the Bush regime is allowed to continue, there may not be a free world to rock for much longer.

At 7:30 PM on Friday, April 21, 2006, Reprise Records’ Dan Rose ushered a small cadre of us into a Reprise's Burbank headquarters for an exclusive listen to Young’s new CD. For the next 50 minutes, listen we did.

Let's get one thing out of the way right now: this album rocks. It's post '80s electric Neil Young at his grunge best, and of the 10 cuts on Living With War, the first eight are mostly uptempo rockers. In fact, this may be the 60-year-old Young’s most crossover-worthy album yet, since many of the songs should appeal to fans of bands as diverse as Green Day and Pearl Jam and will likely be embraced on campuses across America.

But there's one other tiny thing that makes this record stand out: <b>it is one mother%^&*#% of a protest album</b>. In fact, <i>Living With War</i> may just be the <i>Fahrenheit</i> 9/11 of rock…

2. I want to say "fuck that idiot"

he was sucking Bush's ass at the beginning of this war.

I want to say that, but I'm willing to forgive, if
he'll keep touring and keep speaking the truth.

6. Young is fairly goofy. He has lapses of judgment occassionally.

He was a fan of Reagan while Reagan was governor, but remember that he lived through the 1960s Rock world - I'm sure he did his fair share of drugs. I was annoyed by his Patriot Act comments and his "Let's Roll" crap, but we've come to expect this from him for years.

The important thing is that he is right, NOW.

9. Thanks, Brad...

I would still like to know whether the official title of the song is "Impeach the President" or "LET'S Impeach the President."
