The Maga-Clown could change all of his behaviour and still maintain his disastrous political positions. And there is no question that there are Trump supporters who are well behaved and friendly persons. But as long as these cultists do not understand that the so-called American Dream has come to the end or will have to end because the current American society and the political system cannot make

@Meta : Musk is ‘LITERALLY’ paying people to vote for Trump. How can this activity be legal? Let alone tolerable. It’s beyond my comprehension.

Trump and his MAGA cult have created an unprecedented amount of hate and division in our nation, and half the people of this country have deemed it acceptable. I find it deplorable.

We are now the divided states of America.

Dan, as far as I’m concerned Musk is transparently attempting to buy people’s votes. It is beyond unethical. I’m not shocked a wealthy white guy with family roots in apartheid South Africa has a distorted understanding of democracy and humanity. But I’m disappointed any time people don’t recognize and call out this level of behavior for what it is.

Musk has been “secretly” communicating w/ Putin for years. In fact, just today on the news wire it was reported that Putin asked Musk to not launch his Starlink communication satellites as a favor to Xi Jinping of China, in an effort to thwart communications from Taiwan. Musk agreed. Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un has North Korean troops in Russia to assist in Putin’s efforts in Ukraine. Iran is also

Elon Musk has crossed the line for his own personal gain, and hopefully he will someday have to answer for his outrageous behavior. But if Trump wins this election, our republic will never be a free nation again. The potential of our country becoming an authoritarian nation is beyond comprehension. But if so; we will witness the worst of human nature. The world will never forgive us.

I almost wish he’d stuck with just producing Teslas. Maybe if he kept with one project long enough to experience lasting, meaningful success (not just $$$), he wouldn’t so rudderless and miserable that he feels a need to run the world. I’ve been saying for ages, heroes can easily turn into tyrants. I get the feeling folks don’t recognize the full implications of that

His car factory is just outside Austin, right down the road from my house. He’s dumping and trashing the Colorado River. I’m sure he’s happy to trash Mars too, while irritating Neil Young fans and Douglas Adams readers alike.

Abner, There are few things more aggravating than wealthy, privileged people using their outsize leverage for short-sighted, self-centered purposes. From my part of the world, I have a bit more hope in that I’m at least seeing yard signs, etc. for both major candidates. As I’ve alluded before—being directly in the eye of the electoral college storm weighs heavily.

@ Meta Rocker - good question. Neil connecting w/ Willie and Farm Aid during the 80's must have certainly influenced him... obviously. We think a sincere effort.

But...
at the same time, "Country Neil" was just another genre for him in the 80's, altho a genre that stuck. Unlike rockabilly, say, Everybody's Rockin, Exhibit A.

On the Farm Aid post I weighed in on this one, although I think it got lost in the roar of resounding agreement with Neil’s presidential endorsement announcement.

My comment was that Neil’s first Farm Aid band was the International Harvesters. This latest NYA Timeline Concert was recorded a year earlier and features the performance of Bound For Glory from A Treasure (and NYA Vol. III)

what worries me the most is fascism. I am battling with local elections, people trying to ban books, christian nationalism, anti-immigrant, police state, guns for everyone, and protections of all sorts for mass-production agriculture. Things are not going well and don't for a minute think that small farms are getting serious help- not true. We are verging on a complete collapse of every and

This era Timeline Concert reminds me of one of the only things that really bothered me about Archives, Vol. 3, and that is the lack of an Old Ways focused disc. I know we get the some of those outtake cuts on Evolution (1983–84) disc but it sure would have been nice to have the complete "Old Ways I" album Neil has hyped over the years (I may be overstating the hyped part but he did

This represents a unique epoch of Neil, just as radical in its own way as grunge or electronica. My view remains that the Harvesters always show wonderful musicianship, even as the songs can be hit or miss. There’s a puzzling tension in these songs between derivativeness and authenticity. It’s funny, thinking of songs like Misfits and Are there any more Real Cowboys?, that some of the Old Ways

This has little to do with billionaires. Yes, some rich folks back her. Some back Trump. I doubt either will be ruled by their doners.

Here is the heart of it: Trump was president for four years. He had a chance to make a positive difference. It did not go well. His character flaws and his lack of discipline sunk him and, during Covid, killed many of us. NOW, he has gone full fascist.
