I respect the man's music, though I never necessarily liked it. The "Impeach the President" track sounds interesting. Possibly political, too.
Neil Young announces new album...and it's already finished

Neil Young was never that good... so, if one purchases his album solely for his political beliefs, one purchased his album to further the hand-holding of music and self-image.

Indeed. We're talking about your taste in music, right?
secretvampire, that dude's just making the logical fallacy of affirming the consequent. That is, he has the idea in his head that all hoolywoodians are liberals, and can't prove it until one of them shows themself to be liberal. So, in short, his argument is that all Hollywoodians are liberals, except when they aren't.
I don't see many people rallyin' round the media elite every time Gary Sinise takes his 'teenstache on the Sean Hannity radio show, but that's really neither here nor there. As we know, Hollywoodians are liberals, except when they aren't.
If you want balance, there is right-wing music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrewdriver

After I heard Rockin' in the Free World the other day I wondered why we hadn't heard any similarly themed songs from Neil recently. Hopefully the music is released soon.

You just described the woman from Dashboard Confessional. That shit ain't punk - if you make Jawbreaker or Dag Nasty sound tougher than leather by comparison, you're Jamesing Taylor.
Don't take DJ K8E seriously - despite her name, she couldn't give one bloody good goddamned music-based explanation as to why someone sucked (can't recall whom precisely). She knows as much about music as I do about nekkid badminton.
Now, she *did* have photos of her singing in what appeared to be a studio, but just because some producer thought sticking her Jay Leno chin and 14 year old body behind a mic doesn't mean she knows shit about songwriting, progression, or production. Just another prefab "Vitamin C" motherer, but without recognition, even on the street she lives on. She goes into Safeway hoping for the glint of recognition on the face of a child, as it would truly mean she achieved stardom; lamentably, when the child pushed her out of the way in order to get the "Cocoa Puffs," it was even more damaging than not being recognized.
So, sister christian, how many times you been rejected from getting on "American Idol"? Don't bullshit me, I know you went to the mall each and every time they had auditions, and how awesome it was to sing "The Greatest Love of All" in front of Lane Bryant and Yankee Candle. The catcalls may have been a bit much, though. Right?
EDIT: One last thing I noticed: did you actually write that line in your sig? As in, for a song? One that you hope people will sing back to you on the stage at the "Waffle House"? Seriously, and no bullshit: that's terrible. I know it's one line, but it has no phonetic flow to it, and you're combining the first phrase (poorly worded "I'm a tough street dude who can hold my own") with a polarly-opposed second ("I'm sensitive and stuff *giggle*). I mean it - that shit makes Everlast's rhymes seem like Longfellow by comparison.

NEIL IS THE MAN! I thought he'd be done after Greendale for sure, but now I'm playing catch up with 3 albums of his.
Here are some recommendations for those who are asking:
--Rust Never Sleeps
--Live Rust (essentially Rust never sleeps with more tracks)
--Decade is an awesome 2 disc Greatest Hits album compiled by Neil himself, if that's your thing
--Harvest
--After the Gold Rush
--Tonights The Night
--Time Fades Away (Never released, but it's up for download at alot of sites--definitely a must have.)
that's just his 70s stuff. he's got all kinds of albums including some really weird shit you wouldn't expect--rockabilly, techno and industrial albums for one thing.

He's more prolific than Butch Walker will ever hope to be. Butch has already sold his soul to Avril Lavigne. He'll be dead from an overdose after his 15 minutes are up and neil will keep rolling on.

And to whomever (Brak?) said I was being tough on Katie, that dipshit brings it on herself, creepin' on up in here trying to tell us that some paint-by-numbers-junkie is better than Neiling Young. That's like trying to tell me that Jackson Pollack is better than me taking a shit.

For real. What's up with that? Just stated her opinion and you jump down her throat. Did you send her some crass PM about nude pics, and she told you to go to hell or what? Cause you seriously are havin' some anger management issues. Wait. . .I got it. You're jealous she's actually out there making music like you wish you could?
I say you should let her state her opinion don't get all high & mighty just because it's not what y'all think. That's just cruel man. Not cool.
So. . .

If I had no reason to be high and mighty, I wouldn't be. Those threads I tend to stay out of.
And no, I don't think that I should have to respect someone else's opinion. In particular, when it's not supported by anything other than itself (in other words, not grounded in reality), and it's also placed just so as to be antagonistic of the remainder of this thread, then no, I do not have to have any reverence for idiocy.
Perhaps K8E would like to spend the time using BBCode to fabricate a PM of me declaring my love for her in lyrical form (for the record, I like to quote "Phil Collins" when wooing the ladies, if that helps) which would explain my animosity for her. Now, if you want to believe why I did single her out, well, how's about you start with the fact that she's the one trolling this board?
For the record, your psychoanalytic abilities are laughably superficial. I said it in this thread, and I said it in the other one: K8E has not given anyone anywhere any indication that she knows a damned thing about songwriting, recording, or production. She can write lyrics, but y'know who else does: 14-year olds who paint their nails black and carve their names, in runes, into the tables at "Perkins" restaraunts (when they aren't huffing glue or listening to The Sisters of Mercy's "Floodland," that is). Lyrics are the one aspect of a song that can be composed by someone who doesn't know what the they're doing. You aren't gonna get a drum beat from someone who can't even do a basic 4/4, or hand a bass to a moron and get genius back - you *can* do that with lyrics. So, if Katie can go back to whatever thread, find out who in the world she claimed that cookie-cutter "Dr. Feelgood" lookin' motherer was superior to, and provide an explanation - FROM A MUSICIAN'S PERSPECTIVE, RATHER THAN A MALL WALKER'S PERSPECTIVE - as to why she believes that to be the case, I'll straight up leave her 'lone. Except for the PM's begging for her album, of course. 
That's my wager.
Seriously. This thread was about Neil Young pulling a "Sega Saturn" on us with a new political album, and that twit decides to laud her favorite "LA Guns" castaway as being superior to a man with the influence, songwriting capability, and overall body of work as Neil Young. Now, that's just stupid. Perhaps you were right in some respect: maybe it didn't deserve a response. Seeing as how, contextually, her post was rather "Ralph Wiggum," so to speak, maybe it was better left alone. OTOH, given her response to my post, I'd say it was worth every moment.
If you don't like it, that's fine. You can defend her honor and maybe she'll send you a signed cd-r of her 11 remixes of "Love is a Battlefield." That's your prerogrative. In the meantime, I'll make myself a CD of Peter Cetera singing "The Glory of Love (Theme From The Karate Kid Part II)," in order that I can play the song anytime you decide to make another post defending K8E. If you'll excuse me, I've not had my coffee.

So. . .she has to justify at incredible length I'm sure why she thinks Butch is better than Neil Young, Morrissey, Tool, or whatever quote unquote icon whose zealots are so used to being inviolable and their love for said idol and his artistic notability being unassailable? It's not enough, that it happens to be her cup of tea and not yours? Sorry to bust your everything must be elucidated in an exorbitantly overanalyzed way type bubble but here goes.
Sometimes. . . just sometimes. . . bear with me. . . I may just blow your mind here. . . sometimes. . . who people like. . . has nothing absolutely NOTHING to do with said person's musical proficiency. It may have nothing to do with their songwriting. Who they have worked with. Who they might or might not sound like. What cadency is statistically found in 90% of their songs. Their vocal range. It may indeed have absolutely butting nothing to do with anything even remotely like what you surmise it should.
Sometimes. . . remember, sometimes. . . people like an artist. . . a band. . . or a song. . . because it fits them. Because something in the song sends synapses firing all over the place and shoots a theoretical feeling of euphoria all throughout the persons core self. It's not something you can examine. It's not something you can substantiate. The song that did this to them may suck. . . and I mean SUCK to everyone else in the entire world even the bastards that made it in the first place. However that doesn't change the fact and will not change the fact that person loves the song. You cannot prove personal opinion. . . you cannot asseverate in simple terms why you love a song. . . you can explain why it sounds good. . . or why lots of people might or might not appreciate the song. . . but there is no and I mean NO way to show to another human being why you love a song or indeed an actual artist. It simply cannot be done.
There is also no way to demarcate greatness. You can't juxtapose Hendrix to Clapton. OK? They both played guitar. . . they're both virtuosos. . . but can you prove to me. . . beyond a shadow of a mothering doubt. . . that one of them is better than the other?
Answer? No you cannot. Don't even try it. It's not feasible. There is no mathematical formula to prove why any artist is better than any other artist. Because as I said it boils down. . . to personal opinion. Since however I've said personal opinion can't be proven. . . and "greatness" unquestionably cannot be confirmed. . . without a shadow of a doubt in any persons mind. . . there is no way to prove that Butch Walker is better than Neil Young.
It could be that the lyrics to one of his songs reached her at exactly the right moment one day and made her feel good. Maybe one of those songs is a personal anthem to her for some reason.
Whatever the case may in fact be. . . it is farcical. . . contemptible. . . derisory. . . and utterlying preposterous that you would ask her to prove why she thinks Butch Walker is better than whoever the it was that she said he was better than that managed to piss you off so much that you continue to write this circumlocutory mothering trite as hell self-righteous drivel which you think is ever so perfect and bulletproof that you continue. . . and doubtlessly will persist in doing until the day someone finally puts a bullet in your brainpan because they've had entirely too much of your elitist shit for a few thousand lifetimes. . . to rattle off at an alarming rate even though no one outside of your brainwashed collective of imbecilic near brain dead fan base that I'm sure you're EVER so proud of. . . if in fact they are not you masquerading as someone else to simply supplement your bullshit point to someone you've never met let alone know anything at all about in actuality. . . even likes it or wants to hear word one out of your conceited. . . narcissistic. . . self-important. . . arrogant ass mouth. It is wholly facetious. . . hypocritical as shit and extremely idiotic. . . not to mention narrow-minded as all. . . that you're asking her to prove something that cannot be proven.
She wasn't stating a fact. She wasn't saying Butch Walker is better than Neil Young and whoever else for all times and for all people. That sounds an awful lot like something you would say. . . just change the names a bit and add in a bunch of your own personal beliefs which everyone must also believe. . .or you will send the phantasmal armada that foists your beliefs upon the rest of the world. . . that you wish you had I'm sure. . . after them. There is no way a ratiocinative person a level-headed perspicacious full up to here of common sense person would see what she said as a fact. They would instead see it as a matter of opinion. . . a dissenting opinion but an opinion nonetheless. Yet you choose to blitzkrieg her for simply stating her opinion. . . a harmless opinion.
Say. . . why don't you get all the people that have the same opinions about music as you together. . . overthrow the government and take over the highest seat of power in all the land. You can put to death anyone that likes Butch Walker, Avril Lavigne, Bowling For Soup, Hugh Jackman, malls, has red hair or has had more musical success than you, indeed even anyone named Katie. . . or better yet throw them into concentration camps and torture them slowly so as to enjoy yourself even longer. Not only would people know who you were and follow you blindly. . . and probably a significant amount of them against their God-given will. . . but I'm sure that the history books would talk of you ever so tenderly. You would feel right at home being a dictator. . . because you're already acting like one.
In essence, what I'm trying to say is this: Shut youring mouth. . . you insolent snotty. . . poster child for abortion if ever there was one. . . cockeyed inutile pitiable ing repugnant bastard.
P.S. Though I'm sure you're all riled up to respond to this with your own little cry-baby tirade . . I'll have you know you've made my shitlist. . . pardon me. . . ignore list. . . as a result your miserable fussing will be lost on me. You ignominious prick.

First off, I just *knew* you'd click on "view post" if you truly did put me on your ignore list. If not, well, then you're a liar.
You've gone through great effort and a thesaurus to single me out for going through great effort and a thesaurus to single K8E out. And yet *I'm* the tautological one?
I'd respond more to your post but (1) you've really gone to great lengths to say so very little and (2) that Peter Cetera song is getting realing annoying. You're a trip, homeboy, and you take yourself far too seriously. If only you'd realize that while I may be vindictive, you're funny as hell, and infuriating as - oh, I dunno - a kitten? Marshmallows? Nell Carter?
EDIT: You are correct, of course, that there is no mathematical equation to prove that Clapton is better than Hendrix. That's a valid argument about the factuality of proving one is better than the other. It's unfortunate, however, that I wasn't even arguing such a quantitative analysis. Rather, my wager is simply self-serving, and I want to hear a musician's criticism of an artist from a musician's perspective. It's not a dichotomy of "tehy are teh suxx0r!" or "this regression line proves that Debbie Gibson was 0.8 time beta better than Tiffany." It's a spectrum, and one that expectations lie upon. I hold self-proclaimed "musicians" to higher standards than people who aren't musicians; it's when they let me down in regards to those expectations that I take issue.

There is also no way to demarcate greatness. You can't juxtapose Hendrix to Clapton. OK? They both played guitar. . . they're both virtuosos. . . but can you prove to me. . . beyond a shadow of a mother
ing doubt. . . that one of them is better than the other?Answer? No you cannot. Don't even try it. It's not feasible. There is no mathematical formula to prove why any artist is better than any other artist. Because as I said it boils down. . . to personal opinion. Since however I've said personal opinion can't be proven. . . and "greatness" unquestionably cannot be confirmed. . . without a shadow of a doubt in any persons mind. . . there is no way to prove that Butch Walker is better than Neil Young.
It could be that the lyrics to one of his songs reached her at exactly the right moment one day and made her feel good. Maybe one of those songs is a personal anthem to her for some reason.
Whatever the case may in fact be. . . it is farcical. . . contemptible. . . derisory. . . and utterly
ing preposterous that you would ask her to prove why she thinks Butch Walker is better than whoever the it was that she said he was better than that managed to piss you off so much that you continue to write this circumlocutory mothering trite as hell self-righteous drivel which you think is ever so perfect and bulletproof that you continue. . . and doubtlessly will persist in doing until the day someone finally puts a bullet in your brainpan because they've had entirely too much of your elitist shit for a few thousand lifetimes. . . to rattle off at an alarming rate even though no one outside of your brainwashed collective of imbecilic near brain dead fan base that I'm sure you're EVER so proud of. . . if in fact they are not you masquerading as someone else to simply supplement your bullshit point to someone you've never met let alone know anything at all about in actuality. . . even likes it or wants to hear word one out of your conceited. . . narcissistic. . . self-important. . . arrogant ass mouth. It is wholly facetious. . . hypocritical as shit and extremely idiotic. . . not to mention narrow-minded as all. . . that you're asking her to prove something that cannot be proven.She wasn't stating a fact. She wasn't saying Butch Walker is better than Neil Young and whoever else for all times and for all people. That sounds an awful lot like something you would say. . . just change the names a bit and add in a bunch of your own personal beliefs which everyone must also believe. . .or you will send the phantasmal armada that foists your beliefs upon the rest of the world. . . that you wish you had I'm sure. . . after them. There is no way a ratiocinative person a level-headed perspicacious full up to here of common sense person would see what she said as a fact. They would instead see it as a matter of opinion. . . a dissenting opinion but an opinion nonetheless. Yet you choose to blitzkrieg her for simply stating her opinion. . . a harmless opinion.
Say. . . why don't you get all the people that have the same opinions about music as you together. . . overthrow the government and take over the highest seat of power in all the land. You can put to death anyone that likes Butch Walker, Avril Lavigne, Bowling For Soup, Hugh Jackman, malls, has red hair or has had more musical success than you, indeed even anyone named Katie. . . or better yet throw them into concentration camps and torture them slowly so as to enjoy yourself even longer. Not only would people know who you were and follow you blindly. . . and probably a significant amount of them against their God-given will. . . but I'm sure that the history books would talk of you ever so tenderly. You would feel right at home being a dictator. . . because you're already acting like one.
In essence, what I'm trying to say is this: Shut your
ing mouth. . . you insolent snotty. . . poster child for abortion if ever there was one. . . cockeyed inutile pitiable ing repugnant bastard.P.S. Though I'm sure you're all riled up to respond to this with your own little cry-baby tirade . . I'll have you know you've made my shitlist. . . pardon me. . . ignore list. . . as a result your miserable fussing will be lost on me. You ignominious prick.[/QUOTE]

You think I would? You think I'd actually give you something that you're not going to like, no matter what? You've already made up your mind about it, so there's no use in you hearing it.
For the record, here's a short little idea of why I don't like Neil Young. He used to be something, but lately he has turned away from his past, his one man show of the old days, and become this over produced sellout, who doesn't seem to remember the music he used to make in any way shape or form, he replaces the rawness found in his old music with unnecessary instruments and such. He's out of ideas, and he's no longer relevant, he needs to just stop making music, and leave his legacy only mildly tarnished.
Of course I'm not saying I enjoy him, but I respect him somewhatly. As much as I can respect someone that writes the exact same three songs, over, and over, and over, and over, and over.
