A Southern Man Don't Need Reality Around Anyhow
Just because they're kinda funny, a selection of user reviews of Neil Young's Living With War from iTunes:
National Newspapers? What, like USA Today? It has pretty pictures, and lots of color, but it's not really smart enough to carry a bias. Of course, neither is tjl. He stumbles on plurals.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was unavailable to comment on Neil Young's new hit album, as they were busy preparing for their backwater casino show in Alpine, California. I will assume that they would remind Mr. Anonymous that anti-war does not equate to anti-American until such time as we fall under martial law. Also, that only lazy bastards don't bother to at least post under a handle.
Neil Young was unavailable to comment on his music being out of touch, as he was busy celebrating the fact that the album was the second best selling album on the day of its release on iTunes. Also, he probably doesn't give a shit what tedro thinks. Perhaps, young tedro, the album wasn't for you. Time to go listen to your Toby Keith albums!!!
Who am I going to call the next time terorists strike here? Well, technically I don't have the number, but my inclination will be to call the Bush administration and ask why we wasted so much time and money in Iraq instead of focusing on security and finishing the job in Afghanistan. I was talking to a friend about this review over the phone, and we both agreed that ju had a point about this being the Golden Age of American freedom, but the NSA guy on the line said we were being cynical.
Hahahahaha! Dude, do you have ANY clue about where Mac's politics are? Here's a fun anecdote I heard from a friend of my wife's who used to work in the upper management division of Apple: Back in the nineties, Apple was all set to build a campus in Dallas, Texas. Dallas had really sweetened the pot for them, and Apple had already had the plans drawn up and were ready to go. Then they pulled out at the last minute. Why? For one reason - they could not get health care coverage for partners of gay employees in Texas. They told Dallas to screw and built elsewhere. This is why I love Apple.
Evidently, the Stephen Colbert incident has ushered in a new era for the pasty-faced, weak-willed administration appologists... an era of childlike refusal to acknowledge the tide of public sentiment. Insignificance and obscurity? Hmmm... It was the second best selling album on iTunes today... SOMEBODY is downloading it. Also on the top ten list for the day are Pearl Jam's self-titled protest album at number four and Bruce Springsteen's Pete Seeger tribute at number ten. P!nk's album, including "Dear Mr. President", is still on the list at number fifty-nine, keeping it well above Toby Keith's self-titled new release at number eighty-four.
Also, it's good to see old-fashioned ignorant anti-intellectualism at work. I love the implication that one can not both work for a living and enjoy literature. Classy.
Evidently, iTunes is a dumping ground, where pundits who aren't yet ready for the blogosphere go to make their bones without having to deal with feedback or readership. Fascinating stuff.
you have got to be kidding me.... by tjl
Has it become so popular to hate Bush that artist are now trying to make a buck of it? Get a grip. Leave the politics to the politicians and keep it out of my music. If I wanted politics and lies, I would read my liberal bias national newspapers...

If Neil Young doesn't like our country then he can get out. What an anti-American piece of crap. Skynyrd was right " a southern man doesn't need him around anyhow."

A Sham of an Album!!! by tedro
Too bad the 60's are over. Sounds to me like Neil Young is a little washed up on this album. Protest songs are out of touch. Music on the album lack creativity and well, what is to be expected by a 60+ year old "rocker". Time to retire!!!

Go live in Russia, Neil! by ju
I can't believe this guy is making money by downing our President and what our troops are doing to keep us free. Who are you going to call the next time the terrorists hit us on our soil? Any future president will be apprehensive to defend our nation due to extremists like Neil Young. Enjoy the freedom we now have because it may be the best we will ever experience. Wake up !!

Just another Anti-American LEFTIST. by Aronius
As a long time Mac user, I find it insulting that Apple promotes an anti-American artist in it's iTunes promo email. Neil Young is just another leftist that is mad that his leftist buddies are out of power. If John Kerry was in office, they wouldn't say a word. Apple needs to stop promoting artists that insult half of America, and undermine our efforts to free people from dictators and oppression. They can all move to Canada of France.
Personally, I never have cared for his whinny voice or lousy singing.
To all true Americans, don't buy this album or support Neil Young and his communist buddies.

What liberals do best: complain, complain, complain... Any answers, though, Neil? by DirkNowitzki
Much like Barbara Streisand, the Dixie Chicks, George Clooney and a look-at-me parade of other self-important liberal entertainers before him, Neil Young, awash in an egocentric druggie haze, fails to realize that most of America could care less about his political opinions. And to have these very opinions delivered via a collection of horribly dated, folk-music tracks that reek of misguided hippie idealism (and a lifetime spent agonizing over poetry and literature... instead of actually working for a living) dooms the record to insignificance and obscurity. Pass the tambourine, dude... we're protestors!
