Haven’t They Suffered Enough?

1. Sounds like excellent drone practice for the Russians. Hey, Hey, Bye Bye, Putin just blew my ass to the sky

   1. LMAO.
      Neil will be able to re-record Harvest Moon, on it.

2. You all know … to my eternal mockery … that I love Young’s music. But his politics never advanced past that of an adolescent pot head. Meh. Let’s hope he doesn’t “partially mummify” on his trip to Ukraine. And let’s REALLY hope he doesn’t issue another NYA lp … gawwd … ENOUGH already.

   I’ll choose to remember him as a freewheeling young doper … rather than as an adult Dope.

   It’s a sad communication
   With little reason to believe
   When one isn’t giving
   And one pretends to receive

   1. “You all know … to my eternal mockery … that I love Young’s music”

      Same here. A generational talent with an instantly recognizable voice. I used to like Stephen King and Cher, too. Too bad none of them are capable of keeping their mouth shut on subjects that don’t concern them.

3. If the Russians take Neil out, we’ll be in their debt just for that.

4. Keep on Stealing in the Corrupt World!

5. As a venue, Neil, may I suggest an ammunition depot.

   1. And let’s hope Darryl Hannah is close by his side.

6. Good luck Neil! Because MY President just hit PAUSE on ALL Ukraine Aid. And MAGA Nation is CHEERING wildly!

   Over to you, EU. As he shakes the dust off his feet

7. It’s so funny that Neil likes Canadian politics, and hates American ones, just not enough to pay Canadian taxes. I’d call him a hypocrite, but I’m sure that word is too complicated, so I’ll just stick to asshole.

8. What? James Taylor wasn’t available?

9. Dana Carvey – Every Neil Young Song You’ve Ever Heard
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPpgB3OA5mM

   1. Brilliant! Kudos, Carvey.

   2. I can laugh at that! That’s some nice chord shapes by Carvey.

      1. “I can laugh at that! That’s some nice chord shapes by Carvey.

         I had no idea he could play the guitar.

         (or did he fake that?)

10. Because Ukraine is a war torn country fighting for its survival and all….

11. I don’t care as long as he flies there and back on non-petrolium based fuel because he’s all for saving the planet, doncha know.

12. Good one, Francisco. That’s almost “The Bee” worthy. I needed that laugh tonight. Thanks.

13. If the concert is this summer, maybe Putin will be available to sit in on piano for a few tunes.

    1. Maybe Putin and Young could do a rendition of “Imagine”.

14. I’m old enough to remember when Neil Young was ANTI WAR … and the Republicans were pro war.

    I wonder how ol’ Neil can sing these lyrics with a straight face. Ohhhhh … I see … it’s only the USA wars that Neil doesn’t like. He LOVES other peoples wars. Sorry Neil … you didn’t make that clear in your prior anti-war songs. I didn’t realize that YOU had become the thought police …

    I’m living with war everyday
    I’m living with war in my heart everyday
    I’m living with war right now

    And when the dawn breaks I see my fellow man
    And on the flat-screen we kill and we’re killed again
    And when the night falls, I pray for peace
    Try to remember peace (visualize)

    I join the multitudes
    I raise my hand in peace
    I never bow to the laws of the thought police
    I take a holy vow
    To never kill again
    To never kill again

    I’m living with war in my heart
    I’m living with war in my heart in my mind
    I’m living with war right now

    Don’t take no tidal wave
    Don’t take no mass grave
    Don’t take no smokin’ gun
    To show how the west was won
    But when the curtain falls, I pray for peace
    Try to remember peace (visualize)

    In the crowded streets
    In the big hotels
    In the mosques and the doors of the old museum
    I take a holy vow
    To never kill again
    Try to remember peace

    The rocket’s red glare
    Bombs bursting in air
    Give proof through the night,
    That our flag is still there

    I’m living with war everyday
    I’m living with war in my heart everyday
    I’m living with war right now

    1. I’m old enough to remember when the Russians were the bad guys!
       (“C” ain’t gonna like that comment. It was metaphorical, “C”. There are no “good guys” in this conflict. Only people I have compassion for are the ones suffering and dying as a result of this insane war.)

15. Only 4 dead in Ohio.

16. Another lefty who made huge coin off of anti war songs during Vietnam, and now suddenly supports a war, wow. Isn’t it time for Hanoi Jane Fonda to make an appearance to tell us we’re all wrong or we’re all right or something very stupid.

17. If Neil were true to his whining, he’d be singing for the Russians.

18. Maybe he can dedicate “The Needle and the Damage Done” to Zelensky.

19. OK.
    Lot’s of Neil stuff on this thread
    He is a goof. Always has been….
    I’ve seen the needle and the damage done….snore. Junkie buds anthem
    A man needs a maid….canadian health care
    Heart of gold….stereotyping whores
    Long may you run…a song for his gas guzzling chevy.
    Comes a time…why don’t tall trees lay on down
    Helpless hepless helpless….
    And I am a guy from north ontario who played his tunes until I learned how to rock in the free of young world.
    With apologies to Kenji.
    North Bay Ontario guy who prefers Lightfoot, signing off.

    1. Stevie, I love em BOTH. My first up close and personal exposure to Neil Young was in 7th Grade … when my best friend (I’ll call him Chuck) performed Needle and the Damage Done in the school talent show. Yes, with all the fingering parts. Chuck was a great guitar player at 12 yo.

       And can you even IMAGINE Neil … or anyone … write A Man needs a Maid in this day and age?
       Just someone to keep my house clean
       Fix my meals and go away
       Yeah … women who are just kept to do your menial tasks are a whole lot less complicated than real relationships. And if you can get them to do a “little light housekeeping” … all the better. And go away.

       Sorry gals … it’s just a common guy fantasy …

20. It must be an “unplugged” show, seeing the US just put a halt to the re-electrification of Ukraine. I have regular contact with many relatives in Ukraine. It’s not uncommon for them to report, “No school this week, no electricity” or “No food in the stores this week. Haven’t been able to buy fruit for months”. I wonder how many more will be slaughtered before Zelinski (Trudeauski?) will be willing to enter peace negotiations. I think the Russians will take him out in a well orchestrated, pinpoint attack first.

    1. “I think the Russians will take him out in a well orchestrated, pinpoint attack first.”

       If his own people don’t do it first.

21. Still a big Neil Young fan here too.
    Had tickets for his last tour that he cancelled due to illness.
    His modern politics are dumb boilerplate Leftardism but his original antiwar and pro freedom sensibilities and intent is legit even if he’s abandoned all of it.

22. Neil who isn’t Young!

23. Russia got Scorpions and Metallica, Ukraine gets geriatric Neil Young lulz. The audience will all be laid-off USAID people cuz the locals will all be listening to club thump back at the bar.
