This is a great political polemic. Thing is, though, if I want to read political polemics, I go over to the DailyKos. When I put a CD in my CD player, I espect to hear good lyrics and good music, "good" measured by the standards of poetry and musicality, not by the standards of "I agree with the sentiments expressed". This album fails both tests.<BR/><BR/>-BTBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1151155825742000812006-06-24T06:30:00.000-07:002006-06-24T06:30:00.000-07:00I found this album caused me to cry, Do any of you...I found this album caused me to cry, Do any of you have children. I CAN ONLY ASSUME NOT. Our President and his staff have lied to us for to long. Neil has long been a spokesman for what he believes in. I for one am with him. BUSH need's to go.

I've been a huge fan of Neil for years, but his last good album was the one he did with Pearl Jam in 1995. Since then, it's been a steady stream of dreck.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Pearl Jam, if you want to hear strident anti-war anthems by a band that still has a pulse, check out their new one. It's damn good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
