John Simkin Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I watched "Deja vu" last night. The film documented the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 2006 Freedom of Speech tour. I urge everyone to see this film as it shows that the connection between the 1960s anti-Vietnam War movement and the current campaign to bring back the troops from Iraq. Neil Young can still write good songs: Let's Impeach The President Shock and Awe Living With War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Greer Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I watched "Deja vu" last night. The film documented the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 2006 Freedom of Speech tour. I urge everyone to see this film as it shows that the connection between the 1960s anti-Vietnam War movement and the current campaign to bring back the troops from Iraq. Neil Young can still write good songs: Let's Impeach The President Shock and Awe Living With War Great songs by a great artist. One of the few who still has the guts to directly confront political situations. The video for "Let's Impeach The President" is a must see. Lets 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 Wise, insightful words. Can we throw Tony BLiar in there as well? "Ordinary People" is a 1988 Young song that wasn't released until "Chrome Dreams II" late last year. It resonates just as much now as it did back then, reflecting on a decaying economy and society, that will be survived, or even cured, by hard-working, everyday people. Weighs in at an ear-shattering 18 minutes. Only Neil Young could get away with that, and still find room for a 14 minute song ("No Hidden Path") on the same album. Neil Young for President! I don't care if he's Canadian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
