Here's a link to the new Neil Young album "living with war", where u can listen to the full album (streaming). the album will be available commercially for downloads after a week, and will go on sale in stores later.

http://www.hyfntrak.com/neilyoung2/AFF23130/


its can also be heard on the official neil young site but it may be slow due to heavy traffic.

it has been dubbed as the "fahrenheit 9/11 of music"

check it out, especially the song "impeach the president".

here are the strikingly bold lyrics of the song.........

(this is in no way a politically motivated post, its about a much talked about, and a much awaited music album)



Let’s 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

He’s the man who hired all the criminals

The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors

And bend the facts to fit with their new stories

Of why we have to send our men to war


Let’s impeach the president for spying

On citizens inside their own homes

Breaking every law in the country

By tapping our computers and telephones

What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees

Would New Orleans have been safer that way

Sheltered by our government’s protection

Or was someone just not home that day?


Let’s impeach the president

For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected

Dividing our country into colors

And still leaving black people neglected

Thank god he’s racking down on steroids

Since he sold his old baseball team

There’s lot of people looking at big trouble

But of course the president is clean

Thank God

The lyrics are too bold.
Wonder if Radio Stations will broadcast this song?. I donot think that they will.
And it canot be directed toward Bush. Any president of USA will be same capitalistic person. The seat is the criminal and not the person who sits on the seat. The constitution has to be changed.
As my friend used to say :" USA considers itself to be the Police of the World"

TK,

its true, the lyrics ARE bold, just as ur comments are ;)

i don't know about the stations, but it seems to be pretty popular on the net, as i write this (within 36 hours of its internet release)

and if u think this is heavy stuff, almost all the other songs on the album are about the "wrongdoings" too....
u can listen to them on the link i posted in my previous post.

and if u have some patience, u should wait (as u cant listen to individual songs, and have to let the entire album play continuously) and hear the song that i posted the lyrics to.
it has self contradictory statements by bush in the background, with the chorus singing flip...flop.......flip....flop....

interesting stuff !!!

Apun socha ke Neil Young Canadian hai.

Ab kya US citizen hai.

Chal it has no bearing on of the powerful message it is the sending out.

Aur why only men to war. Aren't also the women going to the Iraq and the Afghanistan?

Chal again, no bearing.

It is reminding me of old song apun listening in "Woodstock" flick.

Come on all you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs ur help again
Got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
And it's 1,2,3,4
what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's 5,6,7,8
Open up the pearly gates
Yeah ain't no time to wonder why
whoopee we're all gonna die
C'mon mothers thruout the land
send yer boys off to Vietnam
be the first one on your block
to get your boy home back in the box....... vagara vagara

Vietnam se aaj tak kuch nahin change hua. TK right hai boss. Kursi is culprit.
