In 1969 this Man changed my life and whole way of thinking. Don't get me wrong God is #1, but God gave Neil the gift and he has blessed him as Neil has blessed others.
As I've never heard a live version of this tune, Neil changed the lyric "I went looking for Gaddafi..." to "looking for Bin Laden". Looking back, it seems that only a handful of big artists (mostly from the 60-70's) had written songs in protest of the whole Iraq/Bush War. Morrissey, Dixie Chicks (who I never listened to anyway) and who else? The rest of 'em just went along with their record company execs and kept on dancing.
I've always liked "Mideast Vacation". This might now be my favorite version of this sobering look at U.S./Middle East relations. Thanks very much for posting this.
