Neil Young: Living With War

Check out Neil Young's blog
Watch his CNN Showbiz Tonight interview clip below:

Read an article on Neil Cavuto's (Fox News) coverage of Neil Young's album and his Bush-bashing. Neil Young's album will stream here beginning April 28th, before it is on-sale to the public. I am annoyed, to say the least, at Pitchfork's coverage of all of this. I guess it rubs me the wrong way, when you insinuate someone like Neil Young is focused on a monetary aspect of the record making ("Smart planning, guys: hit the kiddies with the free music and the blog, and the old folks with the expensive concert tickets. Got your demographics covered.") I might be taking it the wrong way, but we simply don't have the luxury of a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young show at the Black Cat for $10 a pop. Back to reality. Neil Young (co founder Farm Aid, co founder Bridge School) is not a man who is looking at demographics. Just because he puts albums out on a major label doesn't mean he's any less of an artist than all of the indie bands that Pitchfork pumps. The guy's got a song called "Let's Impeach The President," he obviously has a message he wants to send. The blog and the free music are probably more about getting the info out, letting his voice and opinion be heard, than covering demographics. Just watch the interview. And be positive, when there are positive things to be said.
