In the blog entry, titled "Neil Young: An Enemy Of George Bush. An Enemy Of God.", she lays into Neil Young on the basis that he wrote a song titled 'Lets Impeach the President', all about George Bush. As Shelley suprisingly correctly points out, the album it's from (Living With War) is a protest album aimed at the current administration.
The blog is chock full of rubbish - some choice quotes include..
He likes to call himself the Godfather of Grunge. I have heard that this name is a reference to a sick sex-act during which his fellow Canadians (Young is Canadian by the way! He ought to be ashamed!) and caffeine-crazies from Seattle cover themselves in a disgusting gloop (the “grunge”) and embark on unspeakable rites and crypto-pagano-sex rituals. It’s disgusting!
At least 2 things wrong with this:
1) is the fact that Young never likes to call himself the Godfather of Grunge. This is something he's referred to by the music press and maybe (to be fair I can't remember for sure) a grunge band such as Pearl Jam.
2) Anyone who knows even a little about 90s american music will realise that, that description of grunge is truly shocking! (For those who don't know, bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam etc are classed as grunge)
Another quote:
Naturally, I haven’t heard it and have no intention of doing so, but I can tell you with utmost confidence that the music is rubbish too.
It's as if Matthew Wright was an american republican zealot! I don't give anyone any credit who is daft enough to include a statement like that in their blog and expect to be taken seriously.
Why would anyone want to impeach the greatest President in the history of the world [Bush] rather than Bill Clinton the infamous sleaze? What crime has Bush committed? What has he done that’s worse than adultery? I don’t get it.
I don't really need to comment on this.
