"you've got a song called "Let's impeach the president". What is it about?"

"aren't you worried people will think you are UNPATRIOTIC?"

"perhaps you're using this as a way to sell more records"

"people will say [i.e. I say], you're a canadian, does this give you less of a platform to say these things"

I say go for it Neil!

Ben Harper's definitely had some pretty good protest stuff too, if a tad more subtle than "Impeach the President", but take a listen to Black Rain and a few other tracks from Both Sides Of The Gun.

flipping through Fox news today I saw them interviewing Billy Ray Cyrus. The only question I saw before I turned the channel:

I love the very half-hearted "Mm" at the very end

I like it but I've always had a soft spot for when Neil rocks out and most of the disc is distortion-fueled anger.
