E Pluribus Unum

Came across this on the FoxNews site of all places:

Neil Young's new album, "Living with War," is an incendiary, moving, totally American document of peaceful protest that is going to make a lot of people crazy one way or another.

And there's no doubt that the centerpiece of the album, a song called "Let's Impeach The President," performed as a melodic, rocking, campfire ode will be what causes the most controversy. For one thing, though Young has lived in California since the late 1960s, his nay-sayers will decry him as a Canadian. Others will call him unpatriotic or treasonous.

But there are just as many fans of Neil Young who will cite him as a political poet, a hero, and a troubadour working in the most traditional vein of American music. Certainly "Living with War" contains the most pungent attacks on a US president in pop-rock since The Ramones recorded "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" in the late 1980s. And Young reaches back to the original rock protest singer, Bob Dylan, calling out to him in one of the songs.

Thank god he's racking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There's lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God

The verse about al Qaeda and the levees is particularly apt.
