Think along the lines of the "Heart of Gold" DVD- that is first-rate and it personifies Neil's career with class.
Leave your political views for CSNY tours and CNN interviews.

At 10/01/2006 08:03:00 PM, Tim M. said...: Note to Mike C.

Why can't Neil play any political songs? Farm Aid, in its nature, is a political event of sorts. The event is a political statement, in my opinion.

At 10/02/2006 02:51:00 PM, Mark B said...: Mike C - you can't have it both ways bud. Just about everything Neil writes has at least subtle tones and opinions of everything that shapes his beautiful soul and his mind. Relax it's all good and in the big picture around Living with War, it may not be brilliant political commentary, but he's right. He is also "Willing to stay and Pay - USA USA - so his sweet wife can dance another free day USA USA......God Bless Neil, God Bless Mike C and God Bless America!!!!!

I was so happy when he played the stuff off of Comes a Time. No one around me knew the music, even though they claimed to be heavy duty Neil fans. I felt like Neil was playing the stuff just for me. Shivers were going down my spine. So emotional.

To me songs like "Roger and Out" and "Families" is as patriotic as one can get, beautiful songs. "Living with war" is just another example of what makes Neil great. As a farmer, I sure would love top see Farm Aid just once before they hang up that project.
At 10/03/2006 10:09:00 AM, Mikey said...: Mike C:

I am so glad Neil did not pay any mind to your advice. Every song in the Farm Aid set, aside from Harvest Moon, was political in its own way. DON'T NEED NO STINKING WAR! Get yourself to a Lee Greenwood concert ASAP and leave Shakey for his real fans.
At 10/04/2006 09:00:00 AM, Tim M. said...: Neil's on Letterman tonight with Jerry Lee Lewis, as a heads up to everyone.
At 10/05/2006 11:08:00 AM, Lykahrkn said...: Hi to all Neil fans.I watched Neil last nite on Letterman.I hate corperate sponsorship more than ever now!So many adds that it cut into the viewing time. But, I must say that It was still worth it just to see him haveing a good time,and to see that sweet ol HIPPY SMILE!We love ya neil Keep on rockin in the free world
