Southern Man Don’t Need Him Around Anyhow

A commentary by U.S. Senator Russ Feingold has set off a firestorm in Greenville, Alabama. In the article, Senator Feingold describes the poverty in Alabama and observes the dreaded "two Americas" - something that Neil observed back in the 1970's.

"And what we saw - check-cashing stores and abject trailer parks, and some of the hardest-used cars for sale on a very rundown lot - told us the people there were hurting economically and deserved more than they were getting.

Now, I know that some from Alabama reading this may dismiss my comments as those of a lesser Neil Young, just another person Southern Man doesn’t need around anyhow.

But I’ve traveled enough to know that there are Greenvilles all over this country, including in my home state of Wisconsin."

More on why Southern Man don't need Neil around anyhow.
