I heard the NPR piece and Boa2's description is the more accurate.
My own personal opinion is that the excerpts played did sound like songs that were hurriedly put together.
Nevertheless, I salute Neil Young for having the guts to take a stance in this age of artistic cowardice. It's very reminiscent of CSNY rushing "Ohio" to the airwaves in May 1970 because of the Kent State outrage. I was in college then and this event and "Ohio" as a call to action mobilized my campus.
Bravo,Neil!
