This Ain't No "Cinnamon Girl"

From Neil Young's blog:
"The first track, "After the Garden" (as in "after the garden is gone") grabbed hold of me right off and didn't let go for the rest of the album. This is Neil Young in full rock mode, all electric guitars and urgent vocals. I was immediately reminded of "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." In the interview in yesterday's paper, he said he was waiting for a younger writer to write these songs, to stand up and protest the president's policies and the whole culture of the abuse of power that this country has been subjected to in the last five years, but nobody stepped up and he realized it was up to us, the generation that stood up to Viet Nam and ended a war and a presidency 30 years ago."

Pete Townshend sent an open letter to Michael Moore saying in effect:"But he'll have to work very, very hard to convince me that a man with a camera is going to change the world more effectively than a man with a guitar." He(Townshend) suggested Neil Young to Moore for the ending of his film.

OK Pete... You win on both counts.
...but you asked for it.
