Hey Hey, My My, Goldman Sachs Will Never Die

Neil Young takes on the financial crisis. I think.

Canadians clearly don't understand economics.

Neil Young is the most underrated oracle of the revolution ever.

I guess this is propaganda pimp Jesse Walker's way of confessing that he has nothing to say.

This song is great Carter-era Neil, very much in the Rust mode. I can't get enough, YMMV.

TofuSushi|3.23.09 @ 3:58PM|

Tim, you are the most brilliant writer on this thread.

Neil Young looks like he has gout.

It's no, "Cortez the killer," but it is mr. Young so it's ok by me.

Alas! The hippie poet who became wealthy.

It is in fact the "T-Bone" for the new millenium. (From re*ac*tor, for the non-obsessives...) Love it.

Where did he get all that gall, son?
Is this the story of a Henry Paulson?
There's more money flowing
Cause TARP never sleeps...

Neil Young had Devo play "Worried Man" in Human Highway, which shows some sort of genius, though exactly what sort escapes me.

Southern Man|3.23.09 @ 4:24PM|

Hope Neil Young will remember . . . no one needs him around anyhow . . .

Sal Paradise|3.23.09 @ 4:28PM|

It's better to bail out,
than it is to rust....

You're the One!

So when is Neil Young going to send me a check? It's time for him to redistribute some of his wealth to me.

Paul|3.23.09 @ 5:34PM|

Ahh, Neil Youn'g dog-in-heat vocals will apparently never die.

Did you guys catch this comment in the link:

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.

"So when is Neil Young going to send me a check? "

Neal Young is The Hemorrhoid of Rock&Roll.

Hemorrhoids never send check to anyone.

Neil Young lost my interest when I was about 12 and my parents moved on to something else.

Russ R.,

You tell 'em! You can't argue with that Nobel committee.
