New words from Neil Young
"Living With War"

Neil Young has long been a proponent of living in harmony with Mother Earth and humanity in general. He’s written many songs along those lines. He’s an active founding member of Farm Aid (helping Family Farmers) and runs Biodiesel in many of his personal vehicles, busses, and trucks on his tour. He helped his wife, Pegi Young, in founding the Bridge School for severely impaired children in the mid-eighties. Neil’s annual “Bridge Benefit” concerts have helped keep the school in operation to this day.

Neil Young is a friend of our planet.

He has recently recorded a new album called “Living With War”. This is certain to be a controversial album – at least for a while. You’ll find lyrics to the new songs on his website (NeilYoung.com) and may listen to them in their entirety. While you’re there, we encourage our visitors to also look through the “Greendale” section of his website. Learn about the character “Sun Green”, a teenage girl turned activist. And don’t miss the song “Be The Rain” in the “Listen” section of greendale. This blog is in fact a direct result of inspiration received from greendale a few years ago. The ripple effect works. I’d like to publicly thank Neil Young for his music, inspiration and commitment to good things over the years.

The new record, “Living With War”, will excite some and anger others, but it’s good to know free speech is alive and well in America. Regardless of of the critics who discount his rights here as Canadian citizen, I for one am glad Neil Young is still willing to speak out for things he believes in for this country, and prove to the rest of us that we can do the same.
