So there are different types of "political songs". Topical ballads like "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carol" that are intended to illustrate political attitudes by addressing a distinct incident or event and songs that express the attitudes themselves, such as "Rockin' in the Free World", with all shades and nuances of these in between. A lot of these topical

Mick’s general approach is great for creating music/lyrics that can resonate for generations. It is like using myth and the lessons to be learned from them to create generation lasting stories. Generally I think lyrics referencing specific events and people dont age well as memories and the emotions about them fade. The exceptions are culture shocking events that fade more slowly like Kent

Mick Jagger I always perceived as a highly manipulative character in both song and interview. So his "It's Only Rock'n'Roll but I Like it"-position on politics in songwriting to me appears something adapted in hindsight by an 82-year-old. But history is not to be re-written. During the later 60's and 70's in Europe the Stones were a political band, expressing the

We don’t need politics in music until we look up one day and realize we are living in a fascist police state (come November).

I am so grateful Neil Young has been an environmental activist & anti war activist. I just happen to have the same set of values & involvement in various causes, like democracy! Like civil rights & human rights!

Arrest the war criminals!

Thanks to all for sharing the info. I got the live album As Time Explodes. I am glad to have it, an audio document of the show I saw with my wife & daughters at the Hollywood Bowl. Bend was wicked good also.

I will always offer Rust Bucket, my all time favorite CH live album. Time travel back 35 years & Neil was Young. Time spares no one. Neil has handed us his life’s work,

Second Songs addition:
Neil said several of the new songs are long and lyrically heavy with a lot of verses rather than having extended instrumental breaks.

Which sounds a bit different from recent releases.

3Rail World: Neil had spent the past few days working on the 3 rail world layout as well as filming it for the future NYA release.

I’d say Neil looked

Thanks so much for the details Greying Rider!

We appreciate your efforts on these calls. And in the middle of dental work?! Yikes.
Now that's dedication.
Certainly the dentist was impressed, no doubt.
No cavities, hopefully.
Keep on rockin.

Rick Rubin. Old friends. Malibu studio is an incredible place to play. Just making music.

Electric motorcycles. He’s not looked into them himself but thinks they are a huge hazard on forest trails because they’re so quiet. Need to look at elements of them but better than loud motorbikes.

Future performances. Farm aid and probably a few warm-up shows. No idea

Hello

Neil looking relaxed with shades on in the sun wearing a University of Omemee T-shirt (which does not exist - a question as asked about it). I thought he looked more frail than last I saw him.

I did not get a lot of the first 20mins as I was in the dentist chair. But here goes on the subjects addressed:

First there was a "Greendale High" t-shirt, now there is an "Omemee University" sweat shirt. In class I like to irritate the students by reading all of their t-shirts aloud and start speaking extempore about all these items they wear, from NASA to Santa Cruz, from Yale to LSU, "Redskins" merchandise that couldn't be sold in the US anymore, and pseudo-vintage

Yer fighting the good fight bro!
FWIW: Don’t need another LWW2. Mostly b/c “Let’s Impeach the President” has lost whatever meaning or weight it USED to carry. I’m still living with war, in my heart, everyday. Especially today. Impeach is not a strong enough word for the orange buffoon. He should be imprisoned.

noreply@blogger.com (Alan) — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 21:45:32 +0000

Dang. I would love a hard copy of LWW2. But, it would not be a “new” album fully. Maybe that is why.

Question: when is release date for new Chrome Hearts studio album?

Got my bionic hand. Now waiting for tissue to integrate. Will it play the guitar again?

I’d like to say I hurt my hand fighting Nazis, Genociders & fascists. Not accurate but it sounds good!

Asked about a release of the LWW remix currently rolled out on NYA the man himself during a video call for patrons declined any intention to go beyond the NYA and release a tangible version. Questions by the patrons included "Canary", "Homefires", "Electric Judy", also recordings of the 1993 European Tour with Booker T. & the MGs were mentioned. Neil Young
