Living With War: Neil Young's New "Folk Metal Protest" Record - Comments Page 4

Three things can be said of Neil Young's upcoming new album. It's anti-war. It's anti-Bush. And it's very, very loud.

You've got to hand it to Neil Young. The man definitely defies convention. For some four decades now, he has made a career of doing the unexpected. Where many other artists - especially those of Young's generation who have endured the way he has - often have chosen the path of least commercial resistance, he has consistently followed his artistic instincts.…

    Everything I've written is in response to Neil Young's "Living with War". If you were deep enough you'd understand that (You faggots are usually deep, or so I'm told). It's about every thing you Carl Marx loving Communists say being a God Damn lie. Everything. Damn near every major Liberal (if there is such a thing) saw the same intel as GWB and voted for the War. When it got a liittle rough, they acted like they were lied to. What a fuckin' crock of shit. The Tax cuts worked. The worst economy since Herbert Hoover ? No, the strongest economy, EVER. EVER, GOT THAT ? Even John Kerry voted for the War, before he voted against it (LOL) Throws his "MEDALS" over the fence @ the White House, is an Honored Hero in North Viet-Nam, hooked up with Jane Fuckin' Fonda for anti-American protests, Sports a Dis-honorable Discharge but you Joan Baez loving communist motherfuckers have nothing to say about that, nothing at all. We put a pair of Panties on a Rag-Head and you faggot loving abortionists call the A.C.L.U., start court actions against your own country, and march out pawns like Cindy Shehan and the Jersey Girls. They on the other hand cut off our peoples fuckin heads and you say nothing, not a word. No protests, no petitions, no albums, no United Nations nothing. Clinton starts a war and Sherl Crow goes to "SING FOR THE TROOPS WITH A SMILE", GWB protects the country with a War and she wears a "Stop the War" Guitar Strap on National T.V. Good thing ol' Lance saw the light and dumped that Commy Bitch. Hypocrits, that's what my postings are about, Hypocrits is what you leftists are. So put that in your Bong you Hippy Faggot(s). All of you. You don't like this country, LEAVE, GET THE FUCK OUT.

    Does that logic also apply to my posts? You know the part about if you don't like them, "get the fuck out". If so, I wish you would take your own advice to heart.

    Over half of the comments here are yours Mr. Neck. Well over half if you count the ones posted under your various pseudonyms.

    Neil Young did a protest record. Get over it.

    "Mr. Neck" that's rich Glen. SNL had Meatloaf on one night and that Lorrain Newman acting as a journalist called him Mr. Loaf.

    Ya know what Nr. Neck?

    This thread died weeks ago.

    I have to thank you for keeping it alive as long as you have, and for basically making it one of Blogcritics most read posts for almost two weeks running back when it was still actually a news story.

    But at this point I'm pretty bored with your bullshit.

    Look around you dude.

    Neil put the freaking record out about a week ago. It's history dude. Ancient freaking history. Yet you come back here night after freaking night to spew your venom.

    And ya know what? I don't have a problem with that. Not at all. In fact you made this article. You made it a big story...Number One on Google at one point a few weeks back. So give yourself a pat on the back my friend. Give yourself a big fat, fucking pat on the back okay?

    But for Chrissakes can you please move on?

    I mean, I have long since posted a review of Neil's protest album elsewhere here on Blogcritics. You can even go listen to it there. So by all means, please go check it out. Please go do so.

    Yeah thats right Mr. Neck, the damn thing actually got released a week or so back. So drive my hits up there if you still have an ax to grind.

    Please. Drive my hits up there.

    Because you have outlived your usefulness here. Did so several weeks back actually.

    I've intentionally avoided engaging you in the war you so clearly seek here. Because I've dealt with trolls like you in the past...guys who stay up way past their bedtime slamming beers, typing their bullshit out all in caps, and basically regretting the fact that they can't get laid.

    I understand. I even empathize to a degree.

    But dude, it's time to move on.

    At least get somewhat up to date, and move your bullshit over to the actual review I posted a week or so back. Because I do like getting the hits. Hell yes. I loves me my hits pal. You've been an absolute goldmine in that respect.

    Otherwise, Understand some basic facts.

    Neil Young has released what is basically a protest record. Protest music is as American a tradition as exists. It goes back deep into our history as a nation. Woody Guthrie. Pete Seeger. Bob Dylan. Do those names sound even remotely familiar to you?

    Freedom of Speech is one of the most fundamental rights that those guys overseas are supposedly fighting for in the first place.

    Neil Young has exercised that right...just as he did when he wrote "Ohio", and the rest.

    Neil Young has released a protest record okay?

    If you disagree with the sentiment, get over it okay? This is the last time I engage you in your bullshit trolling game.

    LET'S CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION AND MAKE THIS MY COUNTRY NOT YOUR COUNTRY STRONG NEILY BOY !

    5/21/06

    ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded, according to a court document released Sunday. Agents later found the cash hidden in his freezer.

    At one audiotaped meeting, Rep. William Jefferson (news, bio, voting record),
    DEMOCRAT-La., chuckles about writing in code to keep secret what the government contends was his corrupt role in getting his children a cut of a communications company's deal for work in Africa.

    Let’s Deport Neil Young


    courtesy of Mangdiddles.com

    Let’s deport Neil Young for treason
    And pull his CDs from the stores
    He believes rock-and-roll gave him the power
    To slam our President, Country and more
    His treasonous words are criminal
    The Crazy Horse belongs up North
    Let’s deport Neil Young for treason
    Seal the boarders, and guard the shores
    History has an example
    From Abe Lincoln, bless his soul,
    Abe shipped a treasonous reporter
    To Neil’s homeland - of Toronto
    Let’s deport Neil Young for treason
    His fame has gone to his head
    He claims to support our fighting kids,
    Then mocks the freedom for which they are dead
    Neil lives safe and wealthy in our Country
    In a “Mansion on the Hill”
    That hill is free today, of course,
    Because of blood our soldiers spilt
    I fought in Desert Storm, Neil Young
    But hippies don’t pay to hear me
    I fought authority like you when I was young,
    But you, you’re over sixty
    As an American Veteran I have paid my dues
    And I value the freedom I live in
    I have earned the right as an American to say
    Let’s deport Neil Young for treason

    NASHVILLE Billboard Initial ticket sales for the Dixie Chicks' upcoming tour are far below expectations and several dates will likely be canceled or postoned. Ticket counts for the
    20-plus arena shows that went on sale last weekend were averaging 5,000-6,000 per show in major markets and less in secondaries, according to sources contacted by Billboard. Venue capacities on the tour generally top 15,000.

    What ? They can't afford to rent a venue unless they're making millions ? They can't loose a few bucks for the good of the few "fans" that want to see them ? NOPE ! That's what Liberals are, money grubbin' assholes.

    Neil, your tours are gonna be just like this you commie fucker. Stick Greendale up your ass. Long live Jackie Brols and Dunlap @ REDSTATEUPDATE DOT COM. War on Neil Young. Let's deport Neil Young for CRYIN' and using his Music to make Money. Don't fuck with this country Neil Young. Go live in Anwar with the seals. You can only get there by ship asshole.

    Eat Shit Neil Young ! P.S. Your album is sinking like a stone as usual, of course, you don't care about that, huh ?

    Neil Young is a Nasty / Mean person. If you saw his LWW little Video on his sight, you see him clearly get pissed off at the "Band" and them try to laugh it off so he would not get any more pissed off. They Laugh like he just told the funniest joke ever told. They were clearly scared he was gonna cut off their pay checks. Wow, were they kissing your skinny liberal hippy ass ! You had them scared. They sat there and watched you play your G to D and back to G and just kissed your stinkin' ass.

    Hey, Neil, @ last count (2 BILLION FUCKIN' DOLLARS IN "FRAUD" FOR YOUR NEW ORLEANS WELFARE RECIPIENTS)

    2 BILLION DOLLARS OF MY FUCKIN' TAX MONEY, GONE ! "SHIPPING MY MONEY OUT THE DOOR"

    (DIVORCES, T.V.'S, MASSAGES, CARS, STEREOS, VACATIONS TO DISNEY LAND, CREDIT CARD PAYOFFS) ALL BECAUSE OF MEGA RICH ASSHOLES LIKE YOU CRYING FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S MONEY. HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF MODULAR HOMES JAMMED INTO MUD PILE ROADS WHICH ARE NOW "USELESS" BECAUSE OF ASSHOLES LIKE YOU. WASTE. HOW MANY "BLACK PEOPLE" DID YOU PICK UP AND PLACE ON YOUR LAND ? ZERO, THAT'S HOW MANY YOU SKINNY LITTLE CANADIAN PRICK. YOU KNOW WHY ? BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT EM NEAR YOU EITHER. THAT'S RIGHT YOU HUMMER ON GASOHOL ASSHOLE.
