  • Lets Impeach the President "What is this song about?" What do you think?? Duh

  • This fucking bitch dares to insinuate that the all mighty Neil Young (hail to the chief!!!) is not "American enough" and less patriotic because of his Canadian heritage. As he so well puts it: he´s been living here for over 40 years, paid his taxes and has got a wonderfull American familly.

    My question to this pathetic, disrespectful, bitch is: Where da fuck do you come from miss South America/Latino...hmmm...from taco-land maybe??? Fucking cunt!!!

  • Neil is great

  • Neil, I have loved you since 1971, and I still love you today. Thank-you, for so many fantastic years. Please continue to be our voice. Love, M.A. H.

  • The hosts and interviewers on this show annoy me to no end. It's probably not their fault that they have to act like they're hosting a show on Nickelodeon, but it doesn't make it any less goddamn annoying to watch. The show airs at 11PM, so why do they talk to people like they're babies? Are people really that stupid these days that this is how they need to be spoken to?

  • He soo should have said his American CAR!!

  • hëh_ÄNÿÓNË_wÀÑnà_chÃt_wíth_mé_­i_fÈel_sÒ_lÓÑËlý_tÖDâY!

  • The interviewer was trying to make neil young look bad.His answers left her dumbfounded.

  • @ichigogohankenpachi there was nothing wrong with the interviewer - she asks questions a lot of people would have asked - and its reasonable to assume that some artists jump on bandwagons to sell albums so why not ask the question? He is Canadian, and if she hadnt have asked that question, he wouldnt have been able to go into his patriot speech. By asking these questions she allows Neil Young to express himself by defending what he believes in. great interview and interviewer.

  • " you have a song that's called lets impeach the president, what is this song about?"hahahahahahaha. Neil Young does brilliant in this interview considering the questions he's asked.

  • She may be stupid, but Neil's really a very articulate person. He's a pretty amazing guy, and puts on a fanstastic show. That's not even bringing up an amazing discography of music.

  • The dumbest interview question in the world. Ever.

  • stone because he and we are the residents of the WORLD F the boarders

  • neil is from canada why would he care about the usa 

  • @stone1705 cause he lives here

  • yes yes

  • "You can't go throught your day without realizing whats going on and questioning it, and going, is this right ? We have to be cognizant of the fact that we can make mistakes". Really Neil ? I wonder if Ol' Neil is "cognizant" of himself today as his Commy choice for Supreme Leader Bankrupts the country, jacks our taxes to an all time high, destroys Health Care, appoints Communists to the highest offices in the land, all while using the U.S. Constitution for Ass Wipe. Are you cognizant Neil ?

  • Legend.

  • Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Unpatriotic? Neil's Canadian, why would it be "unpatriotic" to critisize the president of the US.

  • no one can say shit about politics. even neil young. bc honestly none of us really know what the fuck is going on. the media distorts everything to what they want us to know. as much as i dont prefer obama, i cant sya shit about him bc idk whats true and whats not.

  • What so people who aren't American's can't comment on Bush and the war in Iraq?? Incase you've forgotten the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan effect many countries and many people who aren't from the USA, it's not just about you guys you know! Plus he pays taxes in the USA so surely he can say what he likes. It's called freedom of speech. Power to the People!

  • Neil, you should have quit music after "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere". that and your not even an American so quit interfering. maybe I'll go to canada and tell THEM how wrong what they are doing is. mind your own fucking business....

  • @1911Solution88 mind your own business? america has invaded two sovereign countries. How's that for minding their own business. prick

  • Who are these cheaky interviewers? I love when she asks, "Do you plan on selling alot of records?" I mean do you even know who you are talking too? Neil Young isn't about record sales or commercialism. Neil is all about the music and having a voice. This whole American Idol generation just makes me want to puke!!

  • its not country rock. its folk rock. big difference buddy

  • stupit bitch

  • Neil is my role model

  • It's amazing, years after this was posted, that America is still being brainwashed into hating this video

  • So what's Mr. Young's plan to protect the Petro-Dollar and the global economy?

    {crickets}

  • why did he ever support Bush?

  • he never did.

  • Gumption thats what Neil has,fckn courage to speak and question,I wish to fuck people had a trace element of his courage.

  • stupid bitch all your worth is me fuckin you hard in the ass.long live neil

  • love ya Neil ... choo choo ...

  • canadian!

  • Neil is smart, George was dumb

  • well were still at war! n.young thanx for your fight. fight wars. not war

  • That bimbo had probably never even heard of Neil. I love how she squirms at the end when her cohost calls her on that ridiculous question (even though she probably didn't write it).

  • That interviewer annoys me.... Neil handled her well though =)

  • neil i will be your fan for life. i admire you for your conviction.ride on.fuck george bush.

  • dumb interviewer is dumb

  • neil is great

  • don't dumb it down for everybody.

  • Please don't be stupid.

  • Stop it, Monkey Jones.

  • Right on Neil! There's still time to impeach that a.s.s.hole Bush, even in is last week of trying to sink the ship.

  • why did she not ask him why he had to do it. nobody of this current generation had the balls

  • ca someone please tell me how to put videos on yur blogsot, such as yur youtube videos? or can u do it on a myspace account? plz tell me and thanks

  • Freedom of Speech,not the freedom to tap your phones or Computers,abuse of power is corruption,God bless Neil Young and his ability to protest via his music,

  • its funny because hes canadian

  • At first, my thought was that she didn't deserve to be interviewing him because of how she accused Neil of just wanting to sell records, but then as I listened to Neil respond calmly and then go on to explain things to her like he's a teacher, it dawned on me that he really is and that she needed to interview him because she needed to hear him.

    Still love how theh other guy zinged her at the end, though. Can't help it, she deserved that.

  • Dear Stages of Coma:

    Brilliant, Yes.. The Legend and political mover and shaker that is Neil Young is giving that young LA media bimbo a most patient and eloquent lesson in some very basic truths about what is Patriotism and the right of Free Speech. And the main 'Showbiz Tonight' presenter's 'concurrence' at the end with Neil's point of view was absolutely WONDERFUL! As Always.. Neil Young does not need publicity or record sales, he just cares so much about what is happening in this country.

  • she's an interviewer, she wasn't accusing him, she was just putting forward a question some people must have wanted to hear an answer to, even though she was a bit intense it was fair to ask, I think.

  • It was the way she asked it and the tone of her voice and her body language that made the question an accusation. Did you really have that much trouble reading her? She was very transparent?

  • what? no, it was obvious she was a bit weird and said almost everything in an accusing manner. But I'm sure he's done enough interviews to answer calmly. "what do you think about cynics" started the question, so it's a fairly normal thing to say. but as the guy ended it with, it's ridiculous in itself to even ask that...

  • That wasn't supposed to be a question, she *was* transparent. Also, did you notice her little bitchy smile when the other guy called her out on it? You really, truly cannot read people. There was some caustic, underhandedness going on there. Neil handled it quite well, yes. The fact remains, however, that the woman was attacking him.

  • heh don't put it towards me, of course I got her awkward smile, I'm not disagreeing with you, it's just the way you say as if she's out there to catch him off guard or something. it's so hard to read speach by text, I get what you were saying if you were speaking what you said...I'm from the UK by the way! she just seems american...we should have been talking about 2:23, what a bitch...that was her talking, not the cynics!

  • Haha, methinks we're on the same page now. Yes, she was quite a bitch, indeed. If that's how people see Americans, I don't wanna be one, lol.

  • did he just call neil young country?

  • yup,he should sue.

  • neil left griffin records his label thru the 70's as they wanted him to produce the same old same old crazy horse style although it was more saleable he resisted in respect of the statement he needed to make - regardless of record sales ... if that was an argument try picking an artist that actually needs money.

  • That was good but I don't think she quite did justice to the interview.

  • GO NEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK BUSH

  • go for it NEIL. I'm 47 have loved CSN and YOU since I was a teen. If people don't like your music or when you go on tour then they are not true fans. They should know what to expect. You have always voiced your opinion.

    I admire that. I am an activist and advocate. I work for a non-profit agncy. I BELIEVE IN YOU. I qish Dennis Kucinich would have stayed in.

  • It's a long song. heheh

  • that was the worst flippin interview ever! the idiot did not know what she was talking about. Neil has never been driven by record sales, not does he give a crap about what people may say about him. Please, Neil young is a freakin Legend!!!

  • Nobody, I say nobody, disrespects the great neil young<3

  • *sell

  • hah to see more records!!!! this girl just asked NEIL YOUNG if he was using bushs stupidity to see more records...what an idiot!!!!!

  • yes freeing people from a murdering insane person does effect other people... speak out about what? stopping them from gassing the kurds? with friends like you who needs enemies?

  • Ever hear of the Bridge School. No??? That is because you are an idiot.

  • yep

  • Hey Neil...

    We don't tell you what to do with your prime minister, don't tell us what to do with our president.

    When you become a AMERICAN, then you will have a say in our politics.

    An ex fan

  • He is both dumbass he lives in USA on a ranch and has Usa citizen and canadian

  • Thats funny, Wikipedia has a lot about him, but they missed that FACT!

    They say about him "Although Young sings frequently about U.S. legends and myths (Pocahontas, space stations, and the settlement of the American West), he remains a Canadian citizen and has never wanted to relinquish his Canadian citizenship. He has lived in the U.S. for "so long" and has stated, about U.S. elections, that he has "got just as much right to vote in them as anybody else."

  • Just owning land in the US and saying you have as much right to vote as anybody else does not make you a US citizan. You have to apply and be accepted!

    Dumbass

  • He has also payed taxes in USA for 40 years. Chances are he has lived in usa longer then you, cause I;m betting your only about 20 years old then him. So doesn't that make him more american then you? And it's very easy to hold dual citizen for canada-usa alot of people do.

  • I am pretty sure if you pay taxes in a country you have just as much a right to criticize those who run the country. And I am quite sure Neil Young has dual citizenship.

  • Michael J Fox has a dual citizenship, also. Many countries in Europe allow dual citizenships. Canada also allows it.

  • Human Rights Watch said Russian aircraft dropped RBK-250 cluster bombs, each containing 30 PTAB 2.5M submunitions, on the town of Ruisi in the Kareli district of Georgia on August 12, 2008. Three civilians were killed and five wounded in the attack. On the same day, a cluster strike in the center of the town of Gori killed at least eight civilians and injured dozens

  • This is the first known use of cluster munitions since 2006, during Israel's war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Cluster munitions contain dozens or hundreds of smaller submunitions or bomblets. They cause unacceptable humanitarian harm in two ways. First, their broad-area effect kills and injures civilians indiscriminately during strikes. Second, many submunitions do not explode, becoming de facto landmines that cause civilian casualties for months or years to come.

  • USA has used Cluster bombs in iraq way before Russian did. PS Georgioa troops opened fire on russian peacekeepers way before Russia attack, and over 50% of the people in south osdida(the town attacked and wants to not be apart of russia) are RUSSIAN! Russia only is protecting it's own people.

  • EOPLE IN SOUTH OSETIA ARE NOT RUSSIAN! THEY ARE ETHNIC OSETIANS THAT  WERE GIVEN RUSSIAN PASSORTS SO RUSSIANS WOULD HAVE RIGHT TO "protect thir socalled sitizens" JUST LIKE NAZI GERMANY GAVE PASSPORTS TO OTHER COUNTRIES CITIZENS AND THEN INVADED THEM!!

  • go Neil!

  • WE love you Neil, you speak thruth and you speak from the heart. Thank you. I am proud to be a member of the same human race.

  • well I hope Neil Young will remember...

  • shakey pictures loosen up with the copyright bullshit.

  • This is still funny, I dont think Ive seen an interview that was more of a disaster than this, I would hope she got fired for being so unprepared and asking such absurd questions. She humiliated herself pretty badly and it must have been embarassing for CNN. If given the chance Im sure she would have asked mother Teresa if helping kids was just a way to get publicity.

  • Neil Young, Greeting s from all over Yugoslavia.

    Thanks for thinking, talking and singing.

    A Big Thank you in many languages for your Decency.

    And thanks for this nice Interview in wich you showed us all the best Ways of how to Talk Back to the advokate of the _ himmself:

    When Intelligency with Heart meets conducted stupidity then the first one speaks and the other listens.

    Wonderful

  • "They that can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty or Safety!"

    Benjamin Franklin

  • we can differ and still break bread.jesus would applaud.............

  • he's the geezer!he talks sense!hes a living legend love his music!

  • Neil is a true citizen of planet Earth! Right on my friend! You are surely one of the great voices of our time...

  • "you have a song called 'let's impeach the president.' what's this song about?" lol. i bet Neil had a hard time not laughing at that.

  • go neil!

    at least theres one person in america who can talk about these things and actually sound intelligent. the media cant control and persuade all of us and what neil said is proof of that.

  • I love how Neil Young takes on those American issues and also talks like it is his country even though he is Canadian

    Neil Young is amazing

  • That woman is some dope, fair play to the guy on the news desk, bet she never heard of Mr.Neil Young before that interview..lol

  • it seems to be a standard ploy of interviewers like this woman to talk about "what about some people out there...", "I spoke to a few people out there..." without pulling any hard facts. I sincerely commend how Neil handled the situation. "No one, George Bush or anyone else, owns the 911 mentality" - how true

  • neil should be the prez of this great country,fuck bush,cheney, and all the rest of em. P.S.neil does not have to do anything to sell records,they sell on thier own because he is fuckin awesome songwriter ya stupid nit.STEVE MILLER.

  • that god neil puts this woman right

    shes a space cadet and neil knows what hes talkin bout so great vid

  • Is this woman an imbecile?

  • A great credit to Neil Young having an informed, intelligent comment section.

  • Impeachment will never happen.

    But maybe the Hague will grow some balls and charge this Administration with War Crimes, Violations of the Geneva Convention and other Human Rights Violations after they leave Office.

  • neil FUCKEN YOUNG!

    i love him so much. hes smart as fuck!

  • has this woman been fired yet for caustic stupidity in reporting?

  • ha she is an idiot

  • We are fools to make War on our brothers in arms!

    Or should I say this W's Regime are fools to make on our brothers in arms?

  • W makes Nixon look like a Choir Boy!

  • "are you concidered that some might think u are unpatriotic?" lool

    What kind of dictatorship is USA? u criticized president, so u are unpatriotic? lol

  • America Land of the Free! 1776-2001

    Amerika Police State 2001-

  • What's unpatriotic is keeping silent in the face of this corrupt government.

  • that reporter blows too much hot air.

  • Neil Rules.

    Vote in your primary.

  • nut fuck them, neil young was making perfect sense, i agreed with what he was saying 100 per cent, there just to stupid, he doesn't give a fuck about records sales, neil is something that's very rare not it's called "a true artist"

    P.S. I'm from Scotland & i'd say we're not really free.

  • I really liked what the news anchor said in the last couple seconds, and the look on the reporters face, priceless.

  • The British-based Opinion Research Business recently comfirmed the estimates originally published by Roberts. ORB estimates 1,200,000

    civilians to have died as a result of the illegal invasion and subsequent illegal occupation of Iraq.

  • Neil Young as usual shoots from the hip,part of his makeup is not giving a shit and expressing his views, im sure the future will provide us with lunatics like bush,but where are the youngs,the protesters?oil levels are shrinking fast folks,where is the next liberation?iran,saudi arabia,venezuela?

  • Neil Young -- Keep on Rockin in the Free World !!!

    Love ya...

  • what a cool cat

  • Neil should thank Bush He made alot of money of this war he says its not a concern Bullshit he made money of this and free publicity and now he touring , come on people he is making money too off this war.

  • LOL... So what if Bush is impeached... Then the real man behind the presidency becomes president... Dick Cheney

    That will fix everything...

  • Bush and the whole clan should be reamed out

  • Capperi com'è cambiato Neil dai tempi di Nixon...

  • Brilliantly formulated by Neil!

  • wow, Neil Young really nailed it.

    Great how he not only recognizes America's freedoms, but also all the others. People often mention America as a free country as though its the only one in the world

  • YO Neil...there are no "BOYS" in Iraq...not any that we sent anyway...Remember ..soldiers are MEN...they deserve that much forthought! don't you think? I'm on yoru side..but really...I'd hate very much to think we have joined the Liberians in sending Boys into battle.

  • He didn't use "boys" in the deragatory sense. Get real. When guys refer to their buddies they say "my boys".

  • learn to understand what a figure of speech is

  • Speaking of new albums...I checked out that record they accused of spamming..."In Debt Interview" Hey ...you can tell it's Billy Preston right away..he kicks ass...Horns do as well...I think they're called world bank...but I found it at "in debt interview" ...KICKED ASS

  • "Lets impeach the president"? how original i`m sure it wasn`t a sales pich

  • Neil Young Rocks! His music is like an old friend! I think anyone who supports a preemptive war is unpatriotic! Ron Paul is the only politician who wants to end this war immediately! Vote for Ron Paul 2008!!!

  • she doesn't even know who he is

  • Death of the American Dream ~ A Southern Gentleman ~ A Southern Signstress ~ A Southern Saxophone Sophist ~ and Billy Preston ! What more can be said... "In Debt Interview"

    The World Bank ~ Affectionate and Disparaging remarks by Hunter S Thompson ~ Jimmy Miller Production ~ Bobby Keys on Saxophone...

  • What a great CD. The reporter is completely daffy. The media and the american people are ignoring the study done by The Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals in the world. They did a highly scientific study which put the death toll near to half a million human beings.

  • i dislike these negative comments about neil hes as american as the duke, hes been here for 40 years and has an american family i love neil s music so much and and he has been a positive ispiration to my musical career,listen for yourself if you dont believe at myspace/kentcrawford2 my latest single is called riding satellites

  • You may wish to look at the best studies on the subject, which estimate 650,000 to 1.25 million people killed. You can find the information in Les Roberts' studies conducted at Johns Hopkins and at the WHO website. The Bush Administration, of course, does not recognize the facts, as they point directly to the large-scale war crimes that have been committed by the administration.

  • the thing is neil young is fighting for what some of us americans dont give a shit about like war neil young is a smart person and he has major talent is a great songwriter maybe not singer but he sure as hell is a talented person

    anyways bush is a douchebag and u.s.a could do even better with out a corrupted government

  • Is neil Young still a Canadian citizen, or is he all AMERICAN?.Neil we still love you man,but i hope you stillstick to you're Canadian roots. peace.

  • you wrote a song called 'lets impeach the president' what's it about? hahahahaha, errr have a guess!!

  • George Bush has killed about one million civilians in Iraq so far.

    Neil is right on.

  • I'm not a George Bush fan, but I don't believe in lying to incriminate people either.

    The majority of deaths in Iraqi civilians have been at the hands of Muslim extremists, not US troops. And it's nowhere near 1 million deaths. More like 70,000.

  • You are correct that George Bush has been lying in order to incriminate Muslims. The most accurate data regarding civilian deaths in Iraq have been compiled by Les Roberts of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and published in the Lancet journal of medicine.

    Data indicate US forces have caused the deaths of one mllion civilians -- more than 500,000 children. This information is widely recognized throughout the world, with the exception of the US, where it is suppressed and ignored.

  • You need to learn to read. I didn't say Bush lied to incriminate anyone. I said I don't believe in lying to incriminate Bush, even though I don't like Bush.

  • I am looking at the text of what you have written. You said you believe in the principle that one should not lie to incriminate someone and you said, as well, that you are not a fan of George Bush.

    I applied your principle to the subject at hand to demonstrate its usefulness in understanding US-sponsored terror and the hypocrisy that surrounds it.

  • Comical statement. How you doing Rush?

  • I'm glad Neil Young is here as well.

  • Why is it that it's always the Republicans that have a problem with free speech?

  • Neil Young still ROCKS and WITH a conscience!

  • about time sombody is speaking out its very good

  • I hated that damned reporter. She just seems to want Neil to have concerns and be worried about what the effects of this album are going to be and she ust keeps prodding him and prodding him, and it gets so annoying after a while. Neil is a very patient man, I would've just walked away after the first few minutes.

  • "...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..." -The Unites States The Declaration of Independence

  • you're so lost. i hope you find peace one day.

  • the indoctorination has work well for you. its called free speech, if you feel threatened by it, then apparently its working. by the way, hate is a stupid wasted emotion for spiteful bitter petty people. but hostility in your case is about the best we can hope for. we should only hear YOUR side of everything right?

  • Thank you to the last comment the news anchor said to the interrogater, ITS NOT ABOUT SELLING MORE RECORDS, it's about freedom. Who wrote that ladies script, a neocon!

  • I agree, that was the stupidest question I've ever heard. The news is so fricken stupid, i can't stand to hear people who don't know about music talk about music

  • The impeachment movement is picking up speed. 20 representatives have already signed onto articles of impeachment for Cheney. Write / call / e-mail your representative today!

  • George Bush is technically retarded. Its a sad fact that this unqualified idiot is president of this country. Its only proof that Money is the real master in the US and the world for that matter. Only 20% of populous are capable intellectual discourse and unfortunately the other 80% seem to be guided by their religion(mind control) to go vote... go figure.

  • lets impeach the president for liying

  • an other idiot Repulsive republican hack

  • now that an idea!!! can I post it on Youtube?

  • man my fingers are tired but sigh.. this needs to be done.... Fuck you  boy.

  • a lot of people did just that.

  • dare I say it again.... yeah I guess so fuck you boy.

  • fuck you  boy. ha ha ha this is fun....

  • fuck you...... boy

  • ha ha ha ha ha ha you really sound ...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm simple

  • fuck you  boy.

  • fuck you boy.

  • well you have no point really so ...... sounds like you're just talking to hear yourself talk... a lot of that going around these days.

  • As you may hear upon re-listening he has lived in the U.S. and payed taxes for forty years and has an American Family. All that's missing is a piece of paper.

  • So what's your point?

  • the camera should have been more focused on the hot babe talking...not the old dude with the hat and shades....geeze...
