Lots of people have dual-citizenships. Especially a lot of Britt’s living in the States. If Neil Young has this, it certainly wasn't from the offset, so he's defiantly Canadian. Your nationality and your citizenship are not always one of the same thing. Your nationality is ultimatly where you were born and bought up. |

Brit Hume considered this important enough to post today:
"Veteran rocker Neil Young, well known for his Vietnam-era protest songs, is once again making music aimed at the political arena, recording an entire album attacking President Bush.
It's called, "Living With War," and includes songs such as "Shock and Awe" and "Let's Impeach the President." Young, a Canadian, recorded the album in just three days and calls its musical style, "Metal Folk Protest."
Young, you may remember, said in a 2002 biography that while he draws the line at doing drugs he considers life-threatening, he remains addicted to marijuana, but tries not to smoke too much so as not to "set a bad example for the kids""
Pfffft. Brit, the "only them damn marijuana smokers don't like George Walker Bush III" theme doesn't even come close to John Gibson's masterpiece on Mick Jagger. Next time leave it to the REAL political brain trust at Fox News, ya half-bang schnodderwippen. |

I'm not really sure if Neil is a dual citizen of the US and Canada or not but, it's clear from the information posted below that he could be if he wanted to. Apparently, laws passed in Canada in 1977 made it much easier to obtain dual citizenship:
Citizenship is a complex matter because of the great variety of citizenship laws throughout the world. Some countries allow dual citizenship while others take away the citizenship of a person who acquires another citizenship. Some do not recognize a person’s new citizenship. The laws that apply to your case are generally the ones in force at the time of the event that affects your citizenship (your birth or marriage, or your parents’ birth or marriage, for instance). This is why determining your present citizenship status can be a difficult and lengthy process.
Before the Citizenship Act of February 15, 1977, Canadian law limited dual citizenship. It also provided more ways to gain or lose citizenship than does our current law. Canadians who became citizens of another country before that date should check to see if they are still Canadians. Since that date, Canadian law, like the laws of several other countries, has allowed dual citizenship.

This is an interview from TIME magazine last year and is in Neil's own words:
TIME: Are you an American or Canadian citizen?
I’m a Canadian. I’d like to vote in the U.S. election because I feel like I’ve got just as much right to vote in them as anybody else. I’ve lived here for so long, paid taxes for so long and my kids have to register for selective service. I guess I could be a dual citizen, but if I ever had to give up my Canadian citizenship to become American I wouldn’t do it, because I wouldn’t want to hurt Canada. I love Canada. As I get older, more and more I start singing about Canada. My wife’s a California girl, so she loves to be near the ocean, and I love to be near her. So I’m probably going to be here longterm. But a part of me, I don’t know, maybe I’ll get a cabin up in Canada so when I’m older I can sit on the gold coast up in B.C. and look around. Or be up in the Rockies up there around Banff or something. I wouldn’t mind going back, being part of it again.

The Great Neil Young doing an interview on his "controversial" album.
"Its a long song" - nice jibe.
He's pretty patient with the ditzy interviewer.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen a clip of Neil.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7utryGZ25dg&eurl
The bar is low post-Clinton, but I'm not aware of anything that George Walker Bush III has done warranting impeachment. But it would be fun if he was, just on the grounds of his incredible stupidity. I dislike dumb people. They get in the way. |

... how many Vietnam-era protest songs did Neil write, exactly? I mean, besides "Ohio." Stephen Stills wrote more "protest" songs than Neil ever did. And I don't mean this as an attack. I just think it's foolish to generalize an artist's musical canon by looking at one hit single. |

Yes, my fellow moonie. I was mentally walking through all his alleged protest songs earlier, and couldn't come up with many at all. "...even Richard Nixon...." Not much else. As you well know, Neil Young is a rocker to the core, and never went the ways of his goofy and temporary CSN collabs. So when Neil Young gets his ire up, its worth listening to. Fuck, anything the guy does is worth listening to.
Boooooosh geeks! Que Boooshy? Que Booooshy? What did you just try to say Geroge Walker Bush III? You think bad stuff is like really bad? For real? Try to say it in English you dumb motherfucking retard. |

indeed, but "Campaigner" didnt even come out until 1977.
And it wasnt inspired by Vietnam, anyway, but about seeing a visibly affected Nixon come out of the hospital after visiting his sick wife.
The only "Vietnam-era" protest songs I can think of that Young wrote were "Ohio", "Southern Man" and "Alabama". The latter two were about racism and the first one wasnt specifically about the Vietnam war per se. |

Review: Neil Young's 'Living With War' is 'one MFer of a protest album'
Jim Cirile
Published: Saturday April 22, 2006
TheRawStory.com
Neil Young wants to keep on rockin' the free world.
His new record, Living With War, makes very clear that if the Bush regime is allowed to continue, there may not be a free world to rock for much longer.
On Friday, April 21, 2006, Justice Through Music was invited to a secret preview of the entire CD at Reprise Records Burbank headquarters. At 7:30 pm, a small cadre of people were ushered into a special listening room, and for the next 50 minutes, listen we did.
Let's get one thing out of the way right now: this album rocks. It's post '80s electric Neil Young at his grunge best, and of the 10 cuts on Living With War, the first eight are mostly uptempo rockers. In fact, this may be the 60-year-old Young's most crossover-worthy album yet, since many of the songs should appeal to fans of bands as diverse as Green Day and Pearl Jam and will likely be embraced on campuses across America.
But there's one other tiny thing that makes this record stand out: it is one motherfucker of a protest album. In fact, Living With War may just be the Fahrenheit 9/11 of rock.
The album kicks off with the tight wistful rocker, "After the Garden." Its strong hook sets the tone by hearkening back to Woodstock—remember what we were fighting for in the '60s, folks? It's all been dashed. Next up: "Living With War," a good cut that had toes tapping. But the room really came alive with the third cut, "Restless Consumer," a headbanging indictment of both American consumerism and the manipulation of the public by the corporate media. Young breaks into an almost rap-style rant in the choruses, with the refrain, "We don't need no more lies!" No, we do not.
The fourth cut, "Shock and Awe," skewers our botched "liberation" of Iraq due to hubris and deliberately falsified intel. By this point it is clear Young is not pulling any punches. The lyrics are sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes humorous, sometimes laden with uncomfortable truth.
Cuts 5 and 6, "Families" and "Flags of Freedom" examine the effect of war on us all, and "Flags" stops you dead with this thought-provoking lyric, "Do you think that you believe in yours more than they do theirs somehow?"
But Young kicks out the proverbial jams with the album's centerpiece, "Let's Impeach the President." This song is a blistering, barnstorming indictment of our Commander-in-Thief, and Young borrows a page from Michael Moore here by letting Bush destroy himself with his own words. In the song's midsection, Bush's own recorded contradictory statements are juxtaposed against one another to create an incontrovertible pastiche of lies and contradictions while the background singers chant, "Flip… Flop… Flip… Flop…" Incendiary. The CD is worth buying for this one song alone.
The tone grows wistful again (but with a ray of hope) in "Looking for a Leader," in which Young hopes someone, anyone, will step up to clean out the corruption—"Maybe it's Obama, but he thinks that he's too young… Maybe it's a woman, or a black man after all…" The CD finally downshifts with the tender, slower "Roger and Out," a look back on the "old hippie highway" and the fresh and perhaps naďve ideals of youth. Finally, Young closes with a showstopper—a full choral version of "America the Beautiful," featuring a 100-person choir. No gimmicks here—it is simply a traditional and deeply moving rendition of the song which, after the rest of Living With War, making it quite clear that Young not only loves America, but wants to see it returned to its former glory. Soon.
The really remarkable thing is that the CD captures a live sound like few others do. It really sounds like you're in the room with Young and his 3-piece band as they blaze through the tunes. The album was recorded in a week with minimal overdubs, and this contributes an amazing vitality and urgency to the whole package. The choir and occasional trumpet add zing to an otherwise hard-rockin' bass-guitar-drum assault.
Says Reprise's Dan Rose, "We prefer to let the music speak for itself," and that it does—in volumes. If you're a fan of Young's, buy this. If you're not, consider buying it anyway. Young is saying out loud what most of America is feeling right now and what the corporate media refuses to allow to be said. Rock and roll at its best has always been about rebellion. And just in time, Living With War gives it to us in spades.

"In fact, Living With War may just be the Fahrenheit 9/11 of rock."
That line right there has just sealed the deal. I will not buy any record that is compared to that shit propaganda movie. Fahrenheit 9/11 has been proven to be full of shit. The factual errors alone are enough to make anyone second guess this shit movie. However,to the Bush bashers it's great cinema! LOL! Fucking lard ass Michael Moore and his goddamned lies! The funny thing about that movie is that it has been shown to be completely out of context,and full of blatant lies yet still some gullible Bush haters lap it up as if it were the gospel truth. Hardly one frame of that movie is true. This fact has been fully documented.
Love Bush or hate him is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. This movie was a sham. That Hollywood would give it an Oscar,and call it a "documentary" is fucking joke. Stupid fucks that believe it have been duped by the master lard assed Hollywood propagandist! It only proves just how ignorant some people are of the truth. If you believed one iota of this movie your beyond ignorant. You are just plain old stupid!
Pity Neil had to be compared to that fraud! Hell I might have even considered buying it. Now with a head full of Faharenheit 9/11 bullshit coursing through my head I just can't bring myself to buy it.

Conjo, conjo, conjo, moogie. Moogacious. You emphatically state that you aren't buying a Neil Young record, that you were never going to buy in the first pisstance, solely because some fucking guy you never heard of loosely compared it to some movie you never saw?

Aw shit fellas ya'll knows I'm just joshin'! Hell I'd never of thunk about buying the album in the first place. The Moore reference was just too much for me to stomach. Really has nothing to do being any kind of Bush geek though. Hell I think the man has made some mistakes myself,but I'd rather not try and tear down the presidency in the middle of a war. As John Adams once said,"No man can claim to be a friend to his nation if he'd rather tear it down than help build it up." Michael "Lardassed Fucktard" Moore is a "tearer downer" in Bush speak! Fuck him.

You fucking serious? John "Solomon" Adams be tarnationed, I will buy this Neil Young album, sight unsound, sound unsight, piss unbong, smack unskinch, FOR THE SOLE FUCKING REASON that it may tear down this presidency in the middle of a war. Judas fucking Christ, even the normally reticent U.S. military thinks George Walker Bush III and Rumsfeld are a pair of gooned ostriches.
Thats it! No more passive activism for me. I'm sending Zinni, Eaton, Newbold and the rest of those America-hating generals Neil Young's new powder. With dispatch! |

If "9/11" is bullshit, why hasnt Michael Moore been sued? Hmmmm? Why hasnt he? Thats something the "Chicken Hawks" never seem to mention. America is litigation land - why hasnt any of the corporations or individuals scoured in the doco sued his fat ass off? Why is it so?
Neil Young's new cd will be mine. Sounds awesome. |

| Riffhard |
Corgi please read the following article concerning the blatant lies that Moore has propagated in his bullshit movie. The reason nobody has sued is simple. The movie did not make the claim that it was based on facts. Moore alludes to that fact,but he never says it outright. The movie has more holes in it than a wool sweater in moth filled closet. It's shit hack journoshit. Hitchens gives a very good breakdown of just a few of the blatant lies. But hey,why believe the truth when hating Bush is so easy!

Auggie, literally, because of our glorious (and your counterpart, whatever it may be) First Amendment. Never take the fact that something is said publicly and for huge financial gain, to mean its skeech.
You can say damn near anything about public figures, including corporations, without there being any moofblance of truth. I agree with the U.S. Supreme Court and think First Amendment rights are why free societys exist. And Freedom am goodism.
Otherwise, Corgie, your posts shine like a comet on blunt acid. You are an "A lister" that trolls like me can only worship from afar. |

So, its all crap and George wont be moving to Dubai after his term is over?
So, if 9/11 is crap, then Whitewater is crap too? Surely it is. But, dont tell me Watergate or Iran-Contra was a beat up.
P.S. In Oz, we dont have a set of amdendments, or a bill of rights, or a right to free speech. We just have it. In fact, we dont even have our constitution. Its held in London. Or was. We generally dont take any of that shit seriously. We just do what we do, and if some one says "you cant do that", we just do it anyway. Like, topless sunbaking. Or, drinking and driving. |
