Neil Young News: "A Woman or A Black Man": Lookin' for a Leader (2024)

Former illegal alien and current Canadian citizen Neil Young once again showing his political savvy.

Thanks Neil. Now, why don't you head on north and go back home?

You sound like an illegal alien invader yourself. Not too bright in stating that Neil had to be in The United State to create his music. Obviously your knowledge of music is as limited as is your knowledge of anything else.

Since you're most likely in this country illegally, why don't you leave your name and address here so that you can be reported and returned to where you belong.

to the moron 2 posts up........

REALITY : Had Neil never entered the U.S., he never would have been heard or had the opportunity that he had after comming to California.
Comming to the U.S. gave him the opportunity to be heard and to "make it" in music. his great career as we know it, never would have happened had he stayed in Toronto !

To the moron one post up: Coming is spelled with one "m". Don't make yourself appear to be more stupid than you are.

By the way, since you condone illegal entry into this country, what other crimes are you in favor of?

I guess that your empty shallow life would have had one less thing through which to live vicariously if Neil Young had never made it big in the U.S.

What about all of those other Canadian musicians who had success in the U.S. without being illegal alien invaders- Joni Mitchell, The Guess Who, Gordon Lightfoot, etc.

Now go back to your crib and behave.

Well he certainly had to be in Southern Cal to write "On the Beach." That's enough reason for me.

What I want to know is what kind of a Bozo has so little use for his time that he goes on a Neil Young blog to bash Neil and make xenophobic remarks about immigrants.

Have you any idea the how much illegal immigrant labor reduces cost of food? The meat packing and agricutural industries rely on it to remain as profitable as they are and to keep prices as low as they are. There is a reason the old gurad Republicans want to find a way to keep cheap labor here.

I'd love it if they started enforcing labor law. Meat would cost twice what it does today.

It takes a lot of courage to point out misspellings on blog posts.

I'd like to know what other crimes you bozos who condone illegal alien immgrants think are ok? Murder? Rape? Arson? Kidnapping? We have to be sensitive to the scum who commit these crimes as well, don't we?

Short of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young has got to have the stupidest fans in rock and roll.

What part of "illegal" don't you understand?

And to Lak, If some illegal alien invader was willing to do your job (if you even have one, that is), we could all say, illegal alien invaders are vital to this industry. Look at how their participation reduces the cost.

Well, lets start with POT ! There's no reason in 2008 for smoking, possesing, or growing pot
to be illegal.The law is absurd, so the whole country ignores it !

Now getting back to illegal immigrants, remember it was your conservative president,Ronald "if I only had a brain " Reagan that
legalized all the illegal immigrants last time around.

I didnt bother to check spelling.Your not worth the time.

Damn! You sound like a whining, screeching old woman.

Obviously you've smoked more than your share of pot. No doubt, you've done lots of other drugs too which have fried what was already sh*t between your ears.

Who'd you get to type the response for you. Want some munchies to go with that joint?

Pot, drinking before you're 21, j-walking, speeding.

Do you pay use tax to your state when you buy something out of state and don't pay sales tax? I'll bet you don't. That's illegal too.

The argument "It's illegal" is a simplistic and piss poor one for opposing immigration, as that is simply begging the question in the first place. Before we had immigration laws, every white person who immigrated here was also technically illegal too. But I'm sure you din't have problems with that.

You good sir, are a complete idiot. Why would you troll here? I'm a University of Chicago Educated Lawyer. I'll put my education, SAT scores, LSAT scores humility, or ethics up against yours any day. I would be surprised if you went to college given the way you write.

Such black and white thiking is indicative of an uneducated conservative. The immigration issue is a complex one, as is evinced by the fact that republcians are all over the place on the issue. Illegal immigrants are a vital part of our economy and large businesses depend on their cheap labor. That is why Bush and McCain are for allowing illgeals already here to stay (and why Bush doesn't want to enforce labor laws - for the sake of big business). Further, there are ethical considerations to be had? Is it fair to deport people who are established and live here and work here and have families here? Probably not. Further there are practical issues to consider- is it feasable to round up evry illegal and bus them home and then create some kind of barrier on our borders? No. It would be foolish and expensive and ineffective.

The next time I look both ways and cross the street on a red, I'll thank my lucky stars for illegal immigrant labor that cleans my office bathroom, allows my produce to be reasobaly priced, and allows my filet mignon to be affordable.

Troll elsewhere douchebag.

For all others: vote Obama.

Laky, you're full of sh*t. You know it and I know it. Even if it were true that you are a lawyer, you act as if that's something to be proud of. Ha! Ha! Everyone would rather have an illegal alien than a lawyer. Lawyers are scum of the earth, the absolute lowest on the evolution scale who do nothing but destroy the hard work of others.

Who's your hero? John Edwards? The King Of Junk Science?

Hey Neil, there is a leader to arrive soon on the scene. But as you said in one of your songs, There's more to the picture than meets the eye"... we better be thinking more than one layer deep.

Man of Peace

Look out your window, baby, there's a scene you'd like to catch,
The band is playing "Dixie," a man got his hand outstretched.
Could be the Fuhrer
Could be the local priest.
You know sometimes
Satan comes as a man of peace.

He got a sweet gift of gab, he got a harmonious tongue,
He knows every song of love that ever has been sung.
Good intentions can be evil,
Both hands can be full of grease.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, first he's in the background, then he's in the front,
Both eyes are looking like they're on a rabbit hunt.
Nobody can see through him,
No, not even the Chief of Police.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, he catch you when you're hoping for a glimpse of the sun,
Catch you when your troubles feel like they weigh a ton.
He could be standing next to you,
The person that you'd notice least.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
I can smell something cooking,
I can tell there's going to be a feast.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

He's a great humanitarian, he's a great philanthropist,
He knows just where to touch you, honey, and how you like to be kissed.
He'll put both his arms around you,
You can feel the tender touch of the beast.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Well, the howling wolf will howl tonight, the king snake will crawl,
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
Wanna get married? Do it now,
Tomorrow all activity will cease.
You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Somewhere Mama's weeping for her blue-eyed boy,
She's holding them little white shoes and that little broken toy
And he's following a star,
The same one them three men followed from the East.
I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

Ben- The reason politics does this to people is because no one wants to admit that it doesn't matter if candidates are democrat or republican, they don't represent most ordinary people like us. But naturally people want to believe America is great (which it is in many many ways) and that "democracy" works, so they usually pick sides and have faith that their side is right. The truth is we're all getting bent over with the current political system and instead of speaking out and trying to promote change, people take their frustration and try to blame the other party, hence all of the nonsense that has occured on this thread and all over other forums concerning politics.

I don't understand, however, why this person is coming to a neil young fan site and saying all these wacko things against neil and his fans...ok, I do understand some people get kicks from stuff like that, but as true fans on a true fan site (thanks thrasher!) we'd probably be better off ignoring the a-hole who is an obvious reincarnation of someone who has been kicked off this site in the past.

As someone who doesn't live in the U.S. and has an outside perspective I get the feeling that America is dying. It's not impossible, great nations eventually crumble like the Roman empire.

Unless there is a big change the future doesn't look bright.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's only going to get better folks! That's the advantage to the sickening, criminal and pathetic crap the Bush years have brought us ... the sun is now on the horizon and shining bright!!!!!!! Too bad 8 years have left us in such a deep sh*thole that it's going to be tough even for Obama to pull us out ... but it'll be a start and we'll beheaded in the right direction toward a sustainable future with Barack's leadership. He is a great man and America will prosper from his leadership.
