Neil Young - Living With War


So the new Neil Young record is out and it's also online streaming for free from Neil's own website. So all those of a higher moral altitude than myself don't worry. Neil just wants people to hear this one. I guess, how do I know anything? But it deal with War and the Bush administration and the general unstable atmosphere nowadays. I have yet to fully listen to this with my un-divided attention. But since it's Neil Young and he's the only musician that I can think of that has never let me down, I'll let you guys in on a secret: it's probably gonna be awesome. I mean Neil doesn't have a truly bad song in my opinion; I mean he's got songs that might get skipped every now and then but no real stinkers. (To be honest I haven't heard his supposed shitty period: the 80's, which, to be fair, sucked in general. But the whole decade he was taking risk with Trans, a synthesizer-filled record, and rockabilly album and country records. Such much so that he got sued by David Geffen, the owner of Neil's then-record label, for not sounding "Neil Young enough." Bullshit, huh?) I'm gonna go pick this up sometime in the very near future and so should you, fucker.

So anyfuckingways here is the website to check out: Living With War Weirdly enough I just saw two commercials for this album back-to-back while I was typing this. And be prepared to see more Neil Young posts in the future because Neil's pretty much the coolest 60 year old to ever live and he still rocking in the free world. Plus he's yet to sell out to starbuck or Victoria's Secret like a certain other aging folkie I can think of. Thanks Neil.

Ok so I've updated most of the posts with photos; at least the ones that warrant a photo. And this photo of Neil is from sometime in the '70s and he doesn't look this badass anymore but he's sixty. What do you expect from the man? Plus he had an aneurysm and he's still putting out music that shames these hipster fucks. So in summary he deserves a badass picture.
