I don't understand why anyone gives a shit what this fat, worn out pathetic old slob thinks. In fact, I feel that way about anyone who considers themselves to be a "celebrity." These people may be well known but that doesn't mean they are any smarter than anyone else, in fact, most of them probably have lower intelligence levels than an average person.

I don't even know what songs Niel Young is famous for.

Enjoyed his music 50 years ago but his political views were always seemed like pablum for the narrow minded. Much like many entertainers. Always looked at it that it came with the territory and what their manger’s told them was good for their careers.

The old just shut up and sing! I didn’t come to your show to hear your opinions…

Rumor is that David Crosby was working with the CIA and probably Young was as well, or CSIS rather. Co-opt a movement and then denigrate and marginalize it, the old blackwashing maneuver.

Celebrities like Young, DiCaprio and Fonda to name a few are nothing more than useful idiots who stick their noses in where they don't belong. Fonda was running around protesting the seal harvest here and in Europe. What I found funny was when a few years later an outbreak of canine distemper wiped out over 80% of the Harp seal population on the European coast. These animals suffered horrendous deaths due to overpopulating their environment. A lot fewer would have died from harvests that kept their numbers in check. DiCaprio runs around in his private jet telling us we are polluters. What a shining example of hypocrisy! Young is just another narcissistic asshole of the same bent. Maybe they would be better off if they learned to keep their mouths shut about what they know nothing about.

Or if people would stop paying to go see their shitty movies and concerts and stop making these filthy idiots so wealthy.

Those of us who aren't brainwashed don't go or support them. This is why it's so important for us to go out in public and speak to people. They don't read alternative news. In fact most are unaware of it. Only by speaking with people and giving them the information to check out these sites can we begin to awaken them.

Great point. I try to share these sites with people but, amazingly, they are not interested. I have a good friend who admits that he doesn't know much of the political situation. When I try to refer him to various alternative sites he always responds that he just doesn't have the patience to deal with it. Frustrating.

What's more frustrating are the ones who tell me that it doesn't matter what I can say or show them they're not going to change their minds anyway. Or, worse yet, I've always voted this way and I'm not going to change. Talk about being fully indoctrinated.
