    I've never liked his music, but that's just personal taste. Heck, if I focused strictly on a song's message, my ipod would be a continuous loop of only two songs; the Dictators' "(I Live for) Cars 'n Girls" and Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55".

    This is why I stopped giving a shit about Neil after Rust Never Sleeps. Anybody else remember those weird, experimental albums he made just to piss off his label?

    There's cars on the street

    Red, white and blue

    People should be using their feet

    People wearing out their shoes

    But there's a warnin' fork

    on the road ahead

    There's a lot of gearheads sayin'

    I'd be better off dead

    Don't look like Satan,

    but that's what I think of them

    So I sing about it,

    In that screechy way I can.


    Keep on walking in the Neil world,

    I guess people who didn't grow up then may not know that, in the tradition of Leadbelly, Seeger and Guthrie, the music is the vehicle for Neil's message. It's not just 'consumer art' for digital consumption. I agree that he's been getting angrier lately, and once you get past a certain point, the art suffers when it gets too pushy, and loses cleverness and humor. But give the guy a break. He really does believe in what he's singing about. And that's head a shoulders better than the stuff you get from artists that are only interested in becoming a commercial success.

    @DoctorNine: "And that's head a shoulders better than the stuff you get from artists that are only interested in becoming a commercial success."


    ...but utter crap compared to art that's supposed to be good for its own sake.


    Having a message is not an excuse for crappy music. That just gives you a diluted message and crappy music.

    I've changed my mind on news that Jadakiss has commented on this. Jadakiss states:


    Most likely your new CD is a weed plate
    A bunch of smug songs
    One hundred precent pure garbage
    Just something to break up buds on

    Let's head on down the road
    There's somewhere I gotta go

    I want to live,

    I want to give

    I've been a miner

    for a heart of green.

    It's these expressions

    I never give

    That keep me searching

    for a heart of green

    And I'm getting old.

    Keeps me searching

    for a heart of green

    And I'm getting old.


    I've been to Hollywood

    I've been to Redwood

    I crossed the ocean

    for a heart of green

    I've been in my mind,

    it's such a fine line

    That keeps me searching

    for a heart of green

    And I'm getting old.

    Keeps me searching

    for a heart of green

    And I'm getting old.


    Keep me searching

    for a heart of green

    You keep me searching

    for a heart of green

    And I'm growing old.

    I've been a miner

    Funny how some artists seem to carry a chip throughout their lives. I can listen to CSN all day long, but Y never did it for me. Most of us GET the Save the Planet/anti-war messages from more likeable singers like Bruce Hornsby, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne.
