Yeah I know what you mean. I loved “Mr. Soul”(including the Trans album version I thought adding the electronic voice and dance beat bass to it was really a cool move for a 90’s update) “Cinnamon Girl”(a straight forward simple rocking riff that is hard to get out of one’s head) “The Loner” “F’ing Up” “Hey Hey My My” and “Downtown”(another great riff) are all great songs and I love listening to them. But after hearing this Jack-Ass run his mouth bad mouthing the USA so many times it is hard not to want to take a sledge hammer to my speakers when he comes on.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Neil was once my idol — on a Friday night I’d go to Woolworth department store and listen to After The Gold Rush in the music section and literally get high from his music — and now I see him on Youtube rant and rage about Bush and with everybody hanging on his words and nodding in sync (they get paid by him) and some Indian bass player that looks cool and it’s like he’s trying to relive “Ohio” again and his “facts” are messed up. What’s important is capturing that hippie-dippie protest vibe all over again. I think, “Neil be a real rebel and go against Hollywood.” At least read up on the issues. But, no, it’s too easy for him to follow the pack, conform to all the flattery and believe that you have another Richard Nixon (Bush) to keep you young. Sad that the “father of punk rock” believes in his own press. And, to make matters worse, his music sucks now too.
