the border to Frog land. Like Graham Nash. Comes to America, makes millions, claims he became an American citizen because he loves this country then bashes it. Nash
came here because he would be paying 70% of his money in taxes in Britain and it's a socialist country. Nash and Young are out of the circuit because they are has beens and need the publicity to sell their music and make money. Young is not even that good...ever heard him try and play lead guitar?

What the fuck are you doing here? Go back to your kind at LGF.
At 5/01/2006 09:13:00 PM, Lazerlou said...: 1. How come Canadians can't complain about the way the most powerful country in the world is goverened?

2. Since when does making millions preclude one from being able or having the right to criticize. It would be one thing if Neil had made millionsin Halliburton and oil futures.

3. Citizenship is somehow a necessary condition for criticism of the American government? News to me and the rest of the world.

4. neil needs publicity to sell his music? That is jsut sheer ignorance. neil has never sought commerical sucess nor does he need any more money (as you pointed out previously before you contradicted yourself)

5. Young is not that good at lead guitar? He is the T. Monk of garage rock lead. Put on Down by teh River and humble yourself. He is one of the great geniuses of American music.

Ranman, if you weren't so obviously ignorant of politics and music, I might be disturbed by your comments. But I just pity you instead. Good luck to you and yours, You'll need it.

At 5/02/2006 12:09:00 AM, Anonymous said...: Neil Young is his own man, sometimes you like what he says and does, sometimes not...but he's always his own man. More than can be said of the blind sheep shrub lovers who take their orders from Limbaugh and Faux News. If you don't like the guy or his record there is good news, you don't have to listen to it or him. This whole "I'm so outraged at Neil Young...the Dixie Chicks..blah, blah, blah" "Poor George Bush, everybody's picking on him blah, blah, blah" routine is not only pathetic, it's also old. You people aren't fooling anyone, anymore. Your hyper-ventilating is a reflection of you and what you are, not Neil Young or anyone else. He's got the truth and a spine and you have.....George Bush and Dick Cheney. Good work Neil, nicely done.
At 5/02/2006 01:21:00 AM, Anonymous said...: I have been watching the circus revolving around Neil Young's new album for a couple of weeks now. I am saddened in the way that he chose to express himself with his new album (Calling for impeachment) though he is a Canadian citizen. Just bad form. Nyoung has been known before for heading for the ditch when he got bored. The album LWW (Living with War) is generating alot of heat and light, but it will not enable the release of Time Fades Away, or any of the other items in the archives.
At 5/02/2006 07:25:00 AM, Larry the Liberal said...: Your just mad because Neil sees things our way-not your pathetic racist ways!

We need to free everyone from Gitonimo Prison, they have done nothing wrong-let them go!

We need to bring the troops hom NOW! all of them, just let Iraq go, Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and we should leave them and Iran ALONE! He was not as bad as everyone says and we attacked him!

The US deserves what happened to us on 9/11. The United States is the richest country in the world and they don't share it with any of us other nations. They are greedy and had the attacks coming.

Wall Street takes money from the poor so let them die! Isreal is a scurge too, so let Iran and them fight it out and the US should stay out of it!

The Muslims are peace loving people they mean the U.S. no harm, just stop protecting Isreal and everything will be fine.
Keep on Rockin' in the free world Neil! THANKS for the music!
At 5/02/2006 08:24:00 AM, haahnster said...: "Your just mad because Neil sees things our way-not your pathetic racist ways!"

You almost had me there, "Larry", but you've revealed yourself to be so far off-base that I presume you're using the "Liberal" to deliberately undermine true liberals.

"He was not as bad as everyone says and we attacked him!"

Now, if you had said "no 9/11 connection" and moved on, that would be one thing. If you had said "No WMDs, which was the only reason given in ADVANCE of the war for going to war", that would be another thing. But, "He wasn't that bad" smacks of deliberate ignorance.

"The US deserves what happened to us on 9/11...They are greedy and had the attacks coming."

I think the idiocy of those sentences speak for themselves.

"Wall Street takes money from the poor so let them die! Isreal is a scurge too, so let Iran and them fight it out and the US should stay out of it!"

Ah, the old anti-semite in you just couldn't stay silent, could it?

"The Muslims are peace loving people they mean the U.S. no harm, just stop protecting Isreal and everything will be fine."

We deserved it because of greed, but no one really means us harm, except for our alliance with Israel. Got it. Good night, troll.

At 5/02/2006 10:09:00 AM, Anonymous said...: everybody is seriously overreating:
right, Neil Young is a Canadian, but he is also an American citizen.

second: I don't know where this chilli guy has been, but my guess is he's only heard 'After the Goldrush' and then 'Let's Roll', because Neil Young has always shown these kind of ideas, Ohio, the freedom album etc etc etc.

Neil Young is not attacking America he is SUPPORTING AMERICA and the troops: LISTEN TO THE DAMN MUSIC. He is attacking what HE perceives to be an illegal war.

I do believe that Young has gone too liberal with this album, a bit too simplistic with his views, but that is my view. Why the hell do people get so worked up about what one man thinks?

As for 'He was not as bad as everyone says and we attacked him!

The US deserves what happened to us on 9/11. '

That is a pretty stupid view as well IMO, and just as offensive
At 5/02/2006 10:25:00 AM, Larry the Liberal said...: Are you trying to say that the United States isn't corrupt and being the only true world power, it should share its wealth and power with ALL nations making us all truly equal?

Is not Wall Street Evil?

Is not George Bush an Evil dictator too?

His friends are all in oil and are rich-too rich! They steal from us at the pump!

By they deserved what they got in the towers, I mean metaphorically, the U.S. has been dishing out pain, and it was time they felt what pain feels like!

Neil knows this too! He is going to help the Democrats take back the governent with this music!
At 5/02/2006 10:55:00 AM, Anonymous said...: No Larry is Chili, yet again. That guy has problems.
At 5/02/2006 11:26:00 AM, Cold Bowl of Chili said...: uh-THIS is Chili, Larry Is another idiot like you that deserves no responce-even you idiots are not that crazy (or are ya?)

Why are you guys obsessed with thinking there are not more that one person that Thinks Neil Young is crazy for releasing this album? Typical Liberals! NEVER FOCUS ON THE SUBJECT! Divert attention from the truth- Liberalsm 101- SMOKE AND MIRRORS!

THIS is from Neal Boortz:

BUSH'S WAR? NO WAY

Yesterday Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada came out and commemorated the 3 year mark since George Bush stood on the aircraft carrier in front of the 'Mission Accomplished' banner. He called the war in Iraq "Bush's war." Oh really? Tsk, tsk, Senator....have you forgotten?

Now that things have gotten rough in Iraq and it's tough sledding, a bunch of Democrats have come out and ripped the president over the war now for several years. But to call it his war...I don't think so. For a little background, let's take a look at some of the Democratic senators that voted in favor of Joint Resolution 114, the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. They include:

Harry Reid of Nevada, Democrat
Joe Biden of Delaware, Democrat
Max Cleland of Georgia, Democrat (included because he would like everyone to forget)
John Edwards of North Carolina, Democrat
John Kerry of Massachusetts, Democrat
Chuck Schumer of New York, Democrat
Hillary Clinton of New York, Democrat

Those are just a few. So even though the Bush-bashing media would like to sweep it under the rug...never forget...these exact Senators saw the exact same intelligence George W. Bush did and voted to authorize the war. They can change their mind, try and spin their vote...whatever...but it's their war too.

What do you Libs Say now (Larry the jerk, need not apply)
At 5/02/2006 01:25:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Dear Cold Bowl of Chili/ aka "Troll",

Several observations:
1) Learn to spell. If you can't, there should a function that does it for you on you computer... if you can figure that out.
2) These posts are being read. We're not talking, or, in your case, shreiking. If you use caps, it doesn't read any louder. It just makes you seem very hysterical, and so you lose debate points.
3)Try to restrain the swearing as it only adds to the loutishness of your manner.
4) Please try to stay on all of your medication.

Love, Tom

ps- Did you see Stephen Colbert at the White House Press Association dinner. He was excellent, and Bush was a good sport about the ribbing. You should see it yourself. Here, go this site,

http://thankyoustephencolbert.org/wordpress/

scroll down to The Video, and watch 1,2,3, in order. But, as I said, make sure you take your meds, as you may pop a gasket. Then you can go troll at colbertnation.com, and leave us alone.

At 5/02/2006 01:49:00 PM, haahnster said...: Sorry, Larry, but I have to disagree with you again (and again). I'm a fairly liberal guy in most respects, and I really LOVE the new Neil album (LOUD, baby)!

You want the U.S. to share its wealth to the point of "making all of us truly equal"? You follow that by asking, "Is not Wall Street Evil?"

Things aren't that simple, Larry. Is their greed on Wall St.? Absolutely. But, does Wall St. provide the investment capital that creates jobs and allows for innovation? Absolutely. There are good and bad in everything, my friend. By and large, I'd say capitalism tends to work better than other alternatives.

"Is not George Bush an Evil dictator too?"

Well, I'll grant you that "evil" is, to some degree at least, in the eye of the beholder. So, go ahead with calling him "evil" if it makes you feel better. But, "dictator"? No. Many would argue that he was elected President. Others would claim he stole the election. Either way, he is certainly not a dictator. If Congress is failing to play its proper role as a check and balance, guess what? We have a little thing called "mid-term elections" coming up. Let the Democrats win enough seats to re-take the majority. Hell, maybe they could even make a case for impeachment, possibly even conviction and removal from office. Still, it would all happen within the bounds of representative democracy.

Regardless of which party is in power, though, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a complete redistribution of U.S. wealth.
At 5/02/2006 03:05:00 PM, Mike G said...: To Ranman:

You obviously have no clue. Thanks for making it abundantly clear. You obviously must listen to that shred-metal crap guitar playing. Big deal. If you knew anything about Neil, you'd know he's not out to impress nickel n' dimers like you who probably doesn't even know what a pick-up is. Neil may not play fast and may not hit every perfect note in a scale...but it's the FEELING he excels at. One strum of an E minor on Old Black is equal of a story to a thousand page novel. Get a clue next time you expose your superficiality.

At 5/02/2006 04:47:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Well, coming from the state which is the butt of many jokes, my only words can be summed up by the BBC (which comments on another New Jerseyite who criticizes the politicians).... (May 2, 2006):

Bruce Springsteen has criticised politicians for "criminal ineptitude" in their response to Hurricane Katrina in the southern United States.
The singer was performing at the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, parts of which he had visited after they were devastated in the disaster.

"I saw sights I never thought I'd see in an American city," he said. "The criminal ineptitude makes you furious."

Soon, the neo-cons will reenact the Civil War...

Love that 1st Amendment! Let's roll!

Mr. Man
At 5/02/2006 08:02:00 PM, Anonymous said...: Many thanks to Neil for speaking up. At least it sparks the kind of talk we should have had before anyone was sent to fight. So those who are upset with Neil for speaking out may have new empathy for American Indians, considering they were here before any immigrants came, took the land, and called it 'their' country. It seems they would be the only ones with any right to complain. Aahh the joys of a melting pot!

So who's worse, Neil or an immigrant from Australia (with a Chinese wife) who becomes an American citizen in order to buy up numerous media outlets in the U.S.? One of the said media outlets is the mouthpiece of the corrupt administration in power, spewing biased adgendas and filtered news to the masses. This TV outlet in particular has railed against Neil for his latest album/views and citizenship status. One immigrant ragging on another? Who do you think is a more frightening voice - shaping policy, fueling fears, and influencing votes?

Thanks Neil, for saying what too many of us are afraid to say. So, of course people would not find it funny either when Colbert reeled off painful truths. Tell me he wasn't hired to gain press in order to divert from real issues plaguing us. It really does hurt to think of the list of items this administration has screwed up. And considering Bush has been issuing signing statements like crazy (750 of them), I'm sure freedom of speech will be falling by the wayside in some form or another. Maybe people that can't handle dissent won't have to - there's still time left in this administration, and with fixed voting machines, there's plenty more to come unless we speak out now while we can!

Thrasher - I really hope all is well with you. I've really appreciated your site for a long time. Take care man.
Peace, Scrappy

At 5/02/2006 09:39:00 PM, Anonymous said...: uhhhhh yeah....listen to Neil Young's interview, he has no problem with the country, he says he loves it and his freedom of speach which he uses solely against the President. So you are completely missing his point. Also, he is a citizen. Also, one of our country's biggest ideals is diversity and acceptance. Also, even though many look down upon immigrants, they don't look down on the ones from Canada... Also, why do so many people who hate Neil Young keep up with his latest news on a fairly underground fan site?
At 5/02/2006 09:57:00 PM, Lazerlou said...: Seriously,

my only regret about this album are the idiot trolls who have come out to this site to flame Neil for being Neil. It sucks.
At 5/03/2006 07:38:00 AM, Cold Bowl of Chili said...: Hey Lazer Poo!

let me tell you something, you brag about your education, the way you speak, is so rude and vile, I bet your a real ass in real life!

I bet you got no buddies, and your catalog wife is cheating on you or your divorced. I can tell these things.......

we are not "trolls", that term is getting old and it only fires us up more you Grape Apes.

What we are are extremely disapointed Neil Young fans. It's not like the "normal" disapointed fan, damn! he went accoustic this time, or shit, he shoulda played wit the horse, or damn! not another Euro trash tour, this is different.

We're upset the way you commies worthless hippies would be, had Neil done the right thing and wrote about something GOOD about America.

You waste of humans lives can't see the truth if it hit you with a 2x4 (that's a board Lazergoo).

Neil, and the rest of you "moe-Rons" are the ones that have been fed Lies from your Lib professors and crappie media outlets and NY/LA times lying sacks of crap!

you have been fed more propagand than provda (that's the old USSR press Lazermoo) and you ate it all up.

Well, like it or not, Neil is wrong, you are wrong, and your homeless Cult, dope smokin' Dave Mathews tribal followers are wrong.

The news doesn't get a free pass no mo (I meant to spell "Mo" like that-not a typo)!

We have the interent and "other" outlets who won't let these vile lies spew fourth.

Sure Bush has made some Major F-ups, but what president hasn't?

Just like your homo buddy Dan Rather, the lies will be exposed.
Did you know they still stand by that story based on false, counterfiet documents???????

But I bet you ignor-anus's really beleive that he got a free pass out of Viet Nam. That's because your so full of hate for Bush, AND AMERICA that you can't stand yourself.

But you sir LazerMcGoo, are the worst of the bunch, your a vile peive of turd with corn in it, a loser in life, and you think your so smart, but you can't suck on Chili's orange toenail.

I'll debate your sorry, zitty ass any day.

At 5/03/2006 11:49:00 AM, Lazerlou said...: Chili, you are a homophobe and are obviously psychotic. You need professional help. Look at how much you post here. You even create other blogger identities to make it seem there are others who agree with you and you do a poor job at masking the fact that it is just you thinking you are clever. You need real relationships in real life and need to stop flaming on internet boards to seek attention - if you were a real Neil fan you would understand that love is the finest thing in life and you should spend your ime creating it, not destroying it. Turn your computer off and try seeking mutual recognition from live human beings. I know it is difficult and scary and there are real emotional risks, but you'll be a happier man for it. I promise. Good luck to you, as you will surely need it.
At 5/03/2006 12:04:00 PM, Cold Bowl of Chili said...: Thanks PanzyLou- but as usual, your wrong. No matter what we say you guys think we're all the same person. Cause your paranoid, oh well.

How bout this one....MORE PROOF OF YOU LIBS HYPOCRISY!

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean is telling reporters that there's no doubt top White House aide Karl Rove is guilty in the Valerie Plame Leakgate case.

Three years ago, however, Dean urged caution when it came to assessing the guilt of Osama bin Laden, whose role in the Sept. 11 attacks, he said, should not be prejudged.

"There's no question that Rove was the one that leaked the information about the CIA agent's name," Dean told MSNBC's Nora O'Donnell on Friday.

But when it came to the Al Qaida terror chief, Dean insisted that bin Laden was innocent until proven guilty.

"I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials," he told the Concord Monitor in Dec. 2003.
The guiltier-than-bin Laden Rove, said Dean, is "a big liability for the administration," since he "continually reminds the American people that the president wasn't truthful about firing leakers, in addition to not being truthful about a number of other things."

He pledged that if Democrats win back Congress in November, they'll launch a new round of investigations into supposed White House corruption.

"No doubt there will be investigations because there's been so much corruption in the White House and the vice president's office, even the Republican Senate president is under investigation for insider trading."

Asked whether Democrats would try to impeach President Bush, Dean told O'Donnell: "It's possible."

SEE! YOU GUYS HATE US CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS-MORE THAN OSAMA HIMSELF!!!!

I can say, as much as I can't stand you, your not as bad as the terrorists AND osamsa and even SADAM!

(Everyone except Jane Fonda)

Speakin' of Hanoi Jane-what's your take on what Jane did during Vit Nam???

Anyone want to defend her? VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT NEIL YOUNG HAS DONE!

SOMEBODY WANT TO DEFEND JANE?

HOW ARE SHE AND NEIL DIFFERENT?

Answer this question:

What president did the following:

He sponsored and signed the legislation creating the Environmental Protection Agency, the Water Quality Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act. He oversaw the establishment of Occupational Safety and Health Administration. He created the Philadelphia Plan, the springboard for racial quotas; pushed for Title IX (the women's "equality" law);

And I know I speak for most of the Neil fans who visit this site re4gularly (except maybe the two you made up) that we all would wish you would stick to your word and stop posting here. Nobody thinks you are funny or wise, nobody reads you posts and everyone would rather you just crawl back into your hole of cowardice and loneliness and work on seeking recognition from other real humans. The scorn you so wilingly seek here only reveals how sad a person you must be. I pity you but would ratehr you just go away so I can read posts of real fans who have something to say about my favorite artist. So I beg of you, please just go away for good.

There is not enough money to help the poor and homeless, gas prices are soaring, and Bush wont do anything about it, except give the fuckin rich more tax breaks. War with Iraq, has never been the solution to catching Osama Bin Laden, and it never will be. Where the fuck is his promise to catch that SOB. Its been five long fuckin years and that stupid mother fucker, is a still sittin around with his thumb up his ass. Bush's approval rating (32%) proves that he is in the WRONG, and you war loving, racsist bastards are now finding it a hard pill to swollow. GO start your own blog, you cheap bastards. As a listener to Neil Young for more than 30 years, from his hits to his most obscure tunage, I know that no matter what Neil sings about, he always has had the interests of the common man in his heart and mind. I too was singin' "Let's Roll" when I thought about catching Osama and blowin his ass to smithereens. I however felt that the attack on Iraq was unwarranted from the beginning. I am no one, but a common man. The common man has so few real hero's these days. Neil has spoke in volume about real injustices for years, so why should this injustice be any different. I am glad to say that Neil is a real modern day hero. KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD

Here is the real reason to sing LWW, I can sing about revolution, then take your money while you scourge each other over support for GWBush. The real villian in all of this is us!

We're silly enough to believe all the hype and lies.

This is Mr. Man. It is appalling that you cannot see the distinctively different writing styles between Chili and myself.

Nonetheless, I happen to agree with 99% of what Chili says and about 70% of the time I agree with his methods. But, I have never seen such vile contempt for others with differing views and half-truths from one such as LazerLouse. There are young people on this tread and persons from all parts of the world and here we have a certifiable Marxist spouting shit about a Government I support and a Country I love and am proud to be a citizen of – USA. America Fuck Yeah!

He is the reason I started writing on this tread and until you more moderate libs (left of center types) reign him in I will be around to debunk, challenge and critique his psycho-babble. Do not be fooled by Lazer he is articulate, cruel and manipulative, and can at times structure a good argument. I ask you to visit his URL and see for yourself how far left this kook really is to the rest…. LazerLoser has an agenda that would have made Marx, Ingles and Lenin gleam with pride. He hates big business, consumerism, capitalism, and the power of the individual. IOW he hates what has made this country the great. He believes in big Government, entitlement programs, Planned Parenthood and that he and his buddies know better than we do what is best for our families and for us.

haahnster Now you see what the real fight is about. – Good luck.

Regards,

Mr. Man

To whom am I cruel? You are the unhinged one threatening me and others. I am hardly cruel to anyone. I simply am defending Neil from warrantless attacks on a fan site that is for his fans, not those who would do Neil Young harm or criticize his politics or music. You are the one who spends time making ad hominem attacks and threats to "expose" me, as if I have somthing to hide. Just go away. That is all we want.
At 5/08/2006 03:35:00 PM, Mr. Man said...: LazerLoser,

This is the last time I will say I am not Chili. But, if it makes you feel better to believe otherwise then by all means please continue.

Funny how you don’t address any other points in my essay about you other than the comment about you being cruel. I based my comments about you on the empirical evidence found on your Marxist Blog and your hateful speech to anyone who disagrees with your narrow view of the world on this site.

You are a hateful mean man – a bully – who needs to be exposed and pushed back. It is only when you punch a bully in the nose that you have the opportunity to have open discourse on the relevant issues. Exposing you is easy all anyone needs to do is visit you URL and they will see for themselves what you believe and what is your real agenda.

In summary, I do not have to do much to expose you for you are what you are. Put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig.

Regards,

Mr. Man

hmmm?
