Very insightful. It's funny we heard so much about this song before the lyrics were released. Then when you actually read the lyrics, it it's really just ho-hum. It reads like something written by a teenager who has been visiting moveon.org, or huffingtonpost.com and has been brainwashed by their propaganda. I think someone should do a Neil Young parody song in his style (shouldn't be too difficult) and it should include the line "Some people mature, others just grow old." “Some people mature, others just grow old.”

Neil's music moved me and taught me how to finely craft a song. I will always be grateful for that. Fast forward to the present: I still play guitar, but haven't played a Neil Young song in quite some time. As my techinical prowess on the guitar increased, his songs ceased to present enough of a challenge to be interesting anymore. I've moved on. Similarly, the liberal attitudes of my ignorant youth have been supplanted by a wiser, more conservative philosophy. I didn't try to become conservative, it was just the natural result of living and learning. Many of the guys I used to play with in bands are in a state of arrested development, still clinging to their liberal ideals and in the process hoping to retain some vestige of their youth (which truly is wasted on the young). I think that Neil is that type of person too. Some people mature, others just grow old. 25 years ago I got an old guitar, a Neil Young Big Note Songbook, and proceeded to learn how to play.
