Neil Young’s New Record

Posted by HANNAH LEVIN at 03:10 PM

My mother recently asked me why there weren’t more rock artists writing anti-war anthems these days. She has a point—aside from Green Day’s American Idiot, Barsuk’s Future Soundtrack for America and the Rock Against Bush compilations, there hasn’t been as much noise from the music community as I would have expected (perhaps it’s all being written in basement practice spaces right now). However, leave it to Neil Young to document his unsurprising opposition to the war. It’s called Living WIth War and it’s currently streaming here. Even non-rocking Mr. Savage will surely appreciate songs titles like “Let’s Impeach the President.”
