I thought that this album was supposed to be released this week, I cannot find it anywhere. Has anybody else attempted to purchase it?

I got the CD 2 weeks ago at Lou's Records in Encinitas (San Diego)...

It is a very good album...It's really not a Bush bashing record in the juvenile sense. It is thought provoking and it raises some good questions, and I voted for Bush in the last election...I really think that Bush has alienated the country and I believe that we all are ready for someone else to take over. Whether you like Bush or not...it's time for a change...This is what Neil is trying to say.

The only problem I have with this record is that Neil's voice (for the first time) is finally starting to go...I know he's been in fragile health for a while and has had major brain surgery. It's just not sounding as good as before.

He's not even an American. Who cares if he thinks Our President should be impeached.

I'M ONLY POSTING HERE ONCE AND ONCE ONLY! NEIL YOUNG IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 30 YRS.
GEORGE BUSH IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO THE USA AND IF YOU'VE EVER TRAVELED THE WORLD YOU WOULD KNOW HOW MUCH PRESTIGE THE US HAS LOST IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD BECAUSE OF THIS INCOMPETENT ARROGANT ADMINISTRATION.

Wrong.

There's a big difference between living in this country and a being a citizen.

Good, we'll only have to respond once. Neil Young is not an American citizen. He has lived here for many years, but he is a tax-paying legal resident (green card holder), not a citizen. He can't vote or collect social security, and won't be eligible for Medicare or Medicaid....

And were he to break the law, he could be deported, like any other foreign national who becomes undesirable for whatever reason....

Not to mention Neil's citizenship of either the U.S. or Canada doesn't preclude him from saying what he thinks about the war or President Bush.

Let me just say I am a Republican, I work for a Republican Senator, and I think President Bush is doing a terrible job. I am with Jahfin on this one, I own the Neil Young album and I think it is very relevant.

Neil Young being a citizen, this is his interview with Time:

YOUNG: Not very clearly. But I know his songs so well that I’m an interpreter of them. And I do have some remembrance of how they came to be. But it’s pretty foggy.

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

Do you really think Neil needs to collect Social Security or Medicare?

Are you saying people that support Shrub are "undesirable"? Whoever said that?

Remember when John Lennon claimed that "someone" within government was working to cause him trouble and keep him out of the USA? Things became perfectly clear once Nixon's Enemies List came out and Lennon's name was on it.

These things certainly have a way of going full circle.

Jen, Legal Resident Aliens (Green Card Holders) are entitled to Social Security and Medicare benefits - provided they otherwise fit the eligibility criteria. Also, they can vote in certain state and local elections.

You know.. that's just crazy, unAmerican talk. If you don't support the President 115% on everything he does, well.. you know... Canuckistan is just hours away, you commie pinko.... 5000 points for cross-threading multiple themes?

Think he's one of those American Haters? Dissin' the sitting President just isn't done, unless, of course, uh .... we are talking about Bill Clinton (damn his popularity!) and then that's different.
