i love Dylan and Neil both; they are both geniuses in their way, and are very very very very very different. I don't really get the comparisons at all.



I do. Dylan's great, Neil grates.

Hmm, I'm not crazy about either but I like Dylan's lyrics better. Every once in awhile I hear a great song by him, like "Things Have Changed" from Wonder Boys. Neil is one of those guys who I appreciate for what they do and their style. I'm glad he's out there, but I don't really listen to him.


Dylan's lyrics are beautiful. True poetry. I don't deny that.


I agree. I've just never "connected" with Dylan's work, nor have I connected THAT much with Young's work...but there's more of Neil's music that I like than Dylan's. Just a personal preference. shrug

Great interview. I hope it's not true that Fox News had "Neil Young Records Album that Attacks America" on it's news crawl.

How does Fox News report about the new Neil Young CD? LOL. Well, i'm glad you asked. Take a gander:


from FoxNews.com


"Attack Album"

Veteran rocker Neil Young, well known for his Vietnam-era protest songs, is once again making music aimed at the political arena, recording an entire album attacking President Bush.

It's called, "Living With War," and includes songs such as "Shock and Awe" and "Let's Impeach the President." Young, a Canadian, recorded the album in just three days and calls its musical style, "Metal Folk Protest."

Young, you may remember, said in a 2002 biography that while he draws the line at doing drugs he considers life-threatening, he remains addicted to marijuana, but tries not to smoke too much so as not to "set a bad example for the kids"


cool They are un-fucking-beleivable.

same for me. I like Niel Young, particularly the Crazy Horse stuff, but I understand why some people can't stand him.

Neil has a bit of a "love it or hate it" kinda voice...

I actually had a friend throw my copy of Rust Never Sleep out of the car window, he hated Neil's voice so much. I love it, especially on the earlier albums. And I still think he's one of the most expressive guitarists ever.

Hey, now everybody's at it!

Red Hot Chili Peppers slam Bush

The band brand the President 'a liar'
Red Hot Chili Peppers have slammed US President George W Bush, calling him 'a liar'.

Bassist Flea has called for Bush to be impeached and has said that he hopes America does not go to war with Iran as it would be a "bloodbath".

In an impassioned message on the band's official website, he said: "George W Bush should definitely be impeached. He is a liar and his lies have bought misery to millions of people and bought no good to anyone except for the corporate oil billionaires who are making huge profits. They are profiting during wartime - that is unscrupulous and terribly sad."

He explained: "W Bush has made the world a much less safe place. Before the war Iraq was not a place for terrorists. Saddam Hussein, brutal dictator that he was, was secular and had nothing to do with Al Qaeda and was sanctioned to death and had no power outside of his country. Now it is a breeding ground for terrorism and anti-Americanism is at an all time high all over the world and the people of Iraq are no better off at all."

In the lengthy post, Flea added: "George W Bush has sent American soldiers over there to be maimed and killed only to serve his selfish oil company needs and for his ego. The administration's line that they were over there because they wanted to spread democracy and freedom is nothing else besides a lie. If they had any interest at all in the well being of other human beings they would be doing what they could for people who desperately need and would love help in Africa."

Turning his attention to Iran, the bass player said: "I pray to God that George W Bush and his administration does not invade Iran. It would be a bloodbath. Why don't they just leave the Iranians alone and go through the United Nations and work on making the United Nations as strong and as just as possible.

"An invasion of Iran would be the worst possible thing that could happen. I pray to God that it does not happen."

Red Hot Chili Peppers release their new double album 'Stadium Arcadium' on May 8, which will be preceded by the single 'Dani California' on May 1.

I suppose this means the RHCP will not be invited to the next Presidential gala.
