    The song is good. I liked it.


    The video is quite possibly the worst music video ever made.

    The money goes to the owners of our government: the Federal Reserve and it's private stock holders.


    They control the wallet of this nation. Control the wallet and you can control everything.


    End of story.

    His lyrics have taken a nosedive in recent years, but this is far better than Paul McCartney's "Talkin' bout Freedom", which almost negated his work from the previous 40 years.

    @uninspired: wait, you guys seriously think the lyrics to "talkin' 'bout freedom" are worse, as opposed to on par with, the lyrics to, say, "uncle albert/admiral halsey"?

    @allyzay: Lyrically "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is wanting, but it's a gorgeous record to me. Something like "Talkin' Bout Freedom" has bad/putrid lyrics and musically, it's even worse.

    @Smitros: nothing is wrong with it when, like, you have a kick-ass fucking hard rock song about an amusement park ride. it is way less awesome when you have a twee little ditty about how awesome christmas is.


    TO BE FAIR neil's a completely ridiculous lyricist and always has been (RIDE MY LLAMA), a couple of wonderful gems aside.

    Best part - he's holding the folded WSJ so the masthead is right side up facing the camera. Which would mean the text he's staring at is upside down.
    Sigh, Neil, why don't you keep on bailing out toy train companies and leave the rest of us wall street fat cats alone.

    I love Neil Young as much as the next queer Southern broad, but he's been giving me some solid heebs/embarrassing me like my liberal uncle since that whole Greendale rock opera thing. Wasn't he more subtle than songs called "Let's Impeach the President" once upon a time? I mean, Harvest probably wasn't about farming.
