\nHvem skulle have troet 2006 ville bringe en samling ind\u00e6dte old school-protestsange fra Neil Young!? Living With War er s\u00e5dan en plade og kommer med en anden, st\u00f8rre og mere vedkommende ild end de seneste mange Young-udgivelser. Der er intet mindre end b\u00e5de vestlig selvopfattelse og samtid p\u00e5 spil her. “Dont need no more lies”, r\u00e5besynges der symptomatisk igen og igen, halvt befalende, halvt b\u00f8nfaldende, p\u00e5 “The Restless Consumer”, en af hj\u00f8rnestenene p\u00e5 Living With War. Om det s\u00e5 er George W. Bush-administration, krig i Irak, de kreative p\u00e5fund for at f\u00e5 den retf\u00e6rdiggjort, New Orleans-svigt, fattige amerikanere, 9\/11-USA, er der ikke meget, som g\u00e5r disse massive, s\u00e6rt smukke sange, om en verden i moralsk opl\u00f8sning, forbi. Nogle vil nok finde det t\u00e5krummende naivt, at udsende noget s\u00e5 firkantet subjektivt. Andre vil h\u00f8re og opleve en mand, der i meget lang tid ikke har lydt s\u00e5 levende direkte i sin musik som her. Sj\u00e6ldent og livsbekr\u00e6ftende er det ialfald med en etableret rockstar, der t\u00f8r synge ufiltreret hvad han mener, uden bleg frygt for hverken tabt markedsandel eller offentlig latterligg\u00f8relse. Og t\u00e6nk s\u00e5 lige engang hvad d\u00e9t indeb\u00e6rer: Rockmusik kan stadigv\u00e6k betyde noget. Tak for det og keep on rockin’ in the free world, Neil Young!<\/p>\n
LET’S IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s impeach the president for lying
\nAnd leading our country into war
\n Abusing all the power that we gave him
\n And shipping all our money out the door<\/p>\n
He\u2019s the man who hired all the criminals
\n The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
\n And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
\n Of why we have to send our men to war<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s impeach the president for spying
\n On citizens inside their own homes
\n Breaking every law in the country
\n By tapping our computers and telephones<\/p>\n
What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
\n Would New Orleans have been safer that way
\n Sheltered by our government\u2019s protection
\n Or was someone just not home that day?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s impeach the president
\n For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
\n Dividing our country into colors
\n And still leaving black people neglected<\/p>\n
Thank god he\u2019s cracking down on steroids
\n Since he sold his old baseball team
\n There\u2019s lot of people looking at big trouble
\n But of course the president is clean<\/p>\n
Thank God<\/p>\n
\u00a9 Neil Young<\/p>\n
