What did he have? One song that was popular?

[BikerTrash]

“We have rights because we fought in wars, not because we didn’t fight in wars.”

Never heard it put any better than that.

God bless this young man.

Neil Young

"He has two sons with cerebral palsy: Zeke, born by a relationship with actress Carrie Snodgress, and Ben (with Pegi Morton)."

Carrie Snodgress

"..Carrie's son Zeke by rocker Neil Young was born with cerebral palsy. She and Young split in 1975 after four years. Young married in 1977 and the next year had a second son named Ben, who also had cerebral palsy. Carrie later sued Young for child support in 1983. Young was ordered to pay Carrie $10,000 a month and up to $300,000 on a home for mother and child..."

Looks like Neil was a deadbeat Dad, or would have been had he not been sued.

Young’s new album, “Living With War,” with its call for President Bush’s impeachment, is being dismissed as a feeble blast at the war by a wrinkled hippie whose life span has exceeded his relevance.

Oh, that is too good a flame to leave unnoticed...

Holeeeee Wow!

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

Neil missed his calling as Louis Farrakhan's choir director when he wrote this ditty called "After the dope rush, I mean gold rush."

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

Are reporters really interested in blogs, or is this another round-about way of the press talking about themselves?

(...assuming they are active posters on the actual or competing webpages.)

Speaking at the MilBlog Conference 2006 http://www.militarywebcom.org/MilBlogConference/ I offered what I saw as the most important value of MilBlogs and MilBloggers, drawing upon the Vietnam experience of trading military victory for political defeat. Walter Cronkite led a media offensive against not only the Vietnam War, but against the military service itself. Those who doubt that should consider Cronkite’s own description later in his career.

“In the 1960’s, we were still a country shaped by World War II and a thoroughly plausible conviction that America had helped rescue the world from evil. Now, a new evil loomed. If we had lost the peace once by failing to confront Nazi aggression in Europe, we would win it now by confronting communism everywhere. Many of us, who had been young war correspondents in World War II, at the beginning of the Vietnam involvement saw a clear continuity of American purpose. The debate over Vietnam became bitter because it challenged my generation’s most important assumption of World War II: That the American power was an unwavering instrument of moral good.”

Now, according to Cronkite and all those who shared his twisted view, the battle against communism was nonsense and the military was different.

The battle was not to be against communism, but clearly against America’s own military by the sole arbiters of information flow. The battle was engaged against John.

That offensive, launched in living rooms and coffee shops from coast to coast, went unchallenged from military service members in the field. There was no mechanism nor the technology for them to rebut or directly dispute the nonsense that the Tet Offensive of 1968 spelled doom for South Vietnam and American involvement there. For, if a credentialed member of the media did not report it, it was never heard or considered.

It was this single caveat that enabled an agenda-driven media establishment to dictate the course of a war, successfully snatching political defeat from the jaws of a military victory.

It was this single caveat that enabled an agenda-driven media establishment to shroud, obscure and effectively steal the honor of honorable men like John, forever altering the course of their lives.

MilBlogs, especially those written in-theater, changed that. Permanently.

Never again will the Walter Cronkites of another day or another war have a monopoly on communication of the ground situation that could lead to disastrous manipulation.

No one, not even an entire culture, can steal a man’s character. They can only cast an illusion.

Speaking as a musician, this turd needs to go away already. He's thus far managed to string together a scam of a career- woven out of three chords and one lung.

"a feeble blast at the war by a wrinkled hippie whose life span has exceeded his relevance"

It is poetic justice when the cowards live long enough to expose themselves.

Just look at OBL. If we had killed him shortly after 9/11 then he would have been forever known as THE JIHAD PROPHET OBL or something such as. But look at what a clown he has become with his Liberal Democrat talking points speeches and offers of a truce to his so-called crusaders.

Young is a clown, OBL is a clown and it is proper that they have lived so long as to be exposed for what they truly are instead of becoming an Icon which those clowns never deserved to be.

[kb2614]

I like Neil Young's music, his older stuff anyway (Like a Hurricane & Down by the River) :-). But c'mon now, who could possibly be surprised that Neil Young suffers B.D.S.?? He's a hippy for crying out loud. I really don't care what he thinks. Neil Young and the vast majority of his like-minded friends are beyond irrelevant. This album will appeal to that base of Bush Derangement Syndrome sufferers.

LOL! This could apply to so many of the anti-war, anti-American dems.
