What Happened to Neil Young's New Release ???

Once again, I wish Ronnie Van Zant was still with us.

National Public Radio in the U.S. talked about the album and played a few snippits. They said that he threw it together in two weeks time, and it sounds like it. Lots of complaints about the U.S., lots of his old guitar tricks, nothing new or deep enough to be thought provoking, and an orchestra.

R_burke - Thanks for the link! Others can hear what they hear and filter through the mandatory niceties and reviwerspeak (or not)as they deem appropriate.
An honest question that comes to mind, is how could anybody charecterize a multimillionaire complaining about somebody else's country as 'gutsy'? If he was risking offense to anyone in his own country maybe that would be a little bit gutsy, or if he was offering legitimate improvement suggestions for criticism that seems like it would qualify. But if courage equates to just complaining then I've never met a coward. No offense to anyone, just opinion.

Boa2 - "I'm also not sure why being a millionaire would inherently diminish the weight of his opinion." No disagreement here, was rambling about the courage thing, no financial risk. The average working person who could offend his boss or customer by speaking openly has more to think about.
