Let's make Neil Young's new album #1

[garybeck]

tell everyone about it. buy a copy.

it will supposedly be available in 2 weeks. you'll supposedly be able to download it any day now. if this hits #1 the media will be caught with their pants down.

let's just hope they're better at counting record sales than they are at counting votes.

but in truth, this album could have a big affect in several ways. it can get people talking more. if sales are high, it will show what is on people's minds, regardless of what the pundits say.

[Warner2008]

1. Here's an idea...

How about people buy Neil Young's album simply because he freakin' ROCKS?!

[garybeck]

3. I'm sure it will :)

but i haven't heard it yet and the lyrics are enough for me. I don't care if there's any music really. if it has a message I agree with and it's helping get the message out. the good music will be icing on the cake.

[Union Thug]

2. I've read it's a very strong attack on President Moron..

Neil is one of my favorites, so I'm REALLY looking forward to this!

[garybeck]

4. video interview with Neil about the album

enjoy

[chookie]

11. I LOVE THIS MAN!

Excuse the caps, but I just have to shout it out. He handled that stupid interview superbly.

After 40 years in music, he remains a relevant artist with broad appeal. I can't wait to hear his latest work.

[tibbiit]

18. I saw his movie Heart of Gold last monday

and now Im watching this youtube interview and smiling my face off!
That is one great interview and our other spokes people (dems/pundits) should take a fucking lesson from neil.

I have loved Mr. Young most of my life

[Catt03]

13. I will certainly buy

Also, if you get a chance listen to Pink's song, "Dear Mr. President" and also Dixie Chicks, "It's Too Late to Make it Right".

[Hissyspit]

14. K&R

[incapsulated]

15. Big Neil Young fan, here...

Loved him since I was 12. I'll be buying it!

[OneBlueSky]

16. the new Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen CDs . . .

will top the charts . . . it's a given . . .

[Hissyspit]

17. Also, buy the Dixie Chicks and Pink

[cascadiance]

19. DON'T buy it used on Ebay, etc.

Make a point of buying it from someplace where the sale will get recorded and help sales numbers for CDs like these. It might cost you a few more bucks, but it will be a way to send a message to the label companies that you want more stuff like these albums.

I just bought Pink's CD yesterday at Costco for $11.99. A good deal from a blue company for a great CD! How can you do better than that! And I haven't been buying new CD's much at all over the last year or two.

[Imagevision]

30. Pink definitly has a way with words...

[lonestarnot]

33. They are on their way!

[edwin]

34. Yes!

Checked out the DIxie Chicks' song that's out on their website. Great stuff! Can't wait to hear Neil's songs. And I hear CSNY will be touring this summer too!

[Mad_Dem_X]

46. Pink's album is really good

I listen to it while I'm on the treadmill. LOL

I'm definitely buying the new ones from Pearl Jam, Neil Young, and Dixie Chicks when they come out.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

43. Don't forget neil's frinds in Pearl Jam

their new cd is out may 5th and heavy on the politics. the first single is up for free on their webiste

[OneBlueSky]

45. yeah, I just heard about the new Pearl Jam CD . . .

it will make summer listening even brighter . . . can't wait . . .

[IndyOp]

20. I am DYING to hear it!! "Impeach" has 40 backup singers who all went

berzerk with joy at the end of the song -- and according to Neil Young on the interview posted online yesterday you can hear it.

Good people doing Good work -- I can't WAIT!!!

[IndyOp]

21. LYRICS OF LIVING WITH WAR...

I think he's GOT IT -- I, personally, feel haunted by this war and by the fact that life seems to go on just as always for everyone else around me. It is insanity making and it is a relief to hear someone else say this war is in his heart, too.

I've posted only 4 'paragraphs' - you can read the entire song lyrics at his site...

I'm LIVING WITH WAR everyday,
I'm LIVING WITH WAR in my heart everyday,
I'm LIVING WITH WAR right now.

And when the dawn breaks I see my fellow man,
And on the flat-screen we kill and we're killed again,
And when the night falls, I pray for PEACE,
Try to remember PEACE (visiualize).

I join the multitudes,
I reaise my hand in PEACE,
I never bow to the laws of the thought police,
I take a holy vow,
To never kill again,
To never kill again.

<snip>

But when the curtain falls, I pray for PEACE,
Try to remember PEACE (visualize),
In the crowded streets,
In the big hotels,
In the mosques and the doors of the old museum,
I take a holy vow,
To never kill again,
Try to remember PEACE.

[fearthem]

22. BUMPTY, BUMP...

BUMP

[tom_paine]

23. You got it -- K & R!

[tomp]

24. "try to remember peace"?

neil forgets sometimes himself, as with "let's roll". i want to hear neil say, "i'm sorry, i made a mistake with 'let's roll', i jumped on the bandwagon and got caught up in the pseudo-anti-terrorist bullshit from the media and did some damage to the 9/11 truth movement." neil has a greater responsibility for this war than most. i may have missed it but did he do any antiwar rallies before we invaded?

[DemoTex]

25. Albums make good gifts, too.

You might want to buy more than one. Know what I mean?

[mod mom]

26. Neil Young was my 1st concert ever back when I was 17.

I will gladly continue to support him.

[H2O Man]

27. Nominated.

I shall nominate his new album, too, by buying numerous copies and distributing them.

[DemonFighterLives]

28. I'm buying

Let's roll was when the mood was for revenge, now that some know the truth, it is all about Peace.

[AwakeAtLast]

29. Had already planned to, but I will K & R your idea

[lonestarnot]

32. Don't think that is going to be hard to do.....

[BigBearJohn]

36. Sign me up!!! I'm on BOARD!!

[graywarrior]

37. I'm buying it anyway...just coz I dig Neil.

[Acebass]

38. I heard they will be free streaming on the 28th...
