    Canadians clearly don't understand economics.

  2. TofuSushi   16 years ago

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

  3. Lefiti   16 years ago

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

  4. Tim Cavanaugh   16 years ago

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

  5. TofuSushi   16 years ago

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

  6. Warty   16 years ago

    Neil Young looks like he has gout.

  7. brotherben   16 years ago

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

  8. Stats   16 years ago

    Here's all you need to know:

  9. Kinder Gentler Machinegun Hand   16 years ago

    Alas! The hippie poet who became wealthy.

  10. Brian Doherty   16 years ago

    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...

  11. Episiarch   16 years ago

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

  12. Southern Man   16 years ago

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

  13. Sal Paradise   16 years ago

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

  14. CharlesWT   16 years ago

    You're the One!

  15. JB   16 years ago

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

  16. Paul   16 years ago

    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.

  17. Stray Gator   16 years ago

    "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.

  18. Suki   16 years ago

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

  19. Russ R   16 years ago

    "Canadians clearly don't understand economics."

    * Robert Mundell - Nobel Prize in Economics (1999)
    * Myron Scholes - Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics (1997)
    * William Spencer Vickrey - Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics (1996)
    * John Kenneth Galbraith - Presidential Medal of Freedom (1946 & 2000)

  20. TofuSushi   16 years ago

    Russ R.,

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