Neil Young - The Restless Consumer (Video)

[MegaJan4u]

Love that Crazy Horse sound....

[PauloAVenus]

we need this kind of music these days. one with meaningful verses not those BS getting laid music. senseless music...

[laggardrivulet]

great and pertinent rant song-video! always smart lyrics.

[frequencysquared]

Mr. Young. Having an ad before this song in particular is shameful.

[Customer5566]

my view, this is emotion, its barefaced and its a song about eternal squeals; it doesnt matter if you think he sold-out or if you cant understand how he could say such things about God's humanity. Fact of the matter is, this is a song about reality. and Neil's ear knows far more than words could ever speak. this song tries to share a bit of that with us, we are lucky, we might, could, should, will share this

[alabamarasta]

Great song--fits the continuing mendacities. Shame that embedding is disabled. Who wants to share this link with the crappy commercial spoiling it?

[TheyHearUsNow]

He attacks Bush for the war but he doesnt attack Obama for continueing the wars? Sounds pretty hypocritical.

[manton2y]

@TheyHearUsNow smartass, he wrote this during the Bush administration.LOL

[TheyHearUsNow]

@manton2y He doesnt have anything to say about Obama now that he's doing what Bush did? LOL!

[manton2y]

@TheyHearUsNow , Well, Neil is of course not responsible at the first place and Obama didn't start a false war, yet, so , let see and wait what Neil has 2 say when Obama officily runs into ........... Pakistan, Iran,Syria, China, whatever. LOL and thanks for the cor respond. :)

[TheyHearUsNow]

@manton2y He started Libya and continued Afganistan and even Iraq for a little while. He hasnt closed Gitmo, and he hasnt tried KML anywhere. When Obama does something new that actually works I'll take him seriously. As for Neil, he had better not be a hypocrite.

[manton2y]

@TheyHearUsNow aha, it's clear to me. You like to blame people!

[stryder10171]

@TheyHearUsNow he's Canadian so his opinions don't matter here in US lol

[thecyprianone]

yea, reminds me of my youth .. was born in 1957 just on the cusp of the sixties explosion and into my teens with Vietnam .. it is Deja Vu .. Neil was always a pioneer in political musical views .. he is just a reflectio of real people think not pre-tend people who jump on board unaware that there will never be "change" we can believe in ..

[mirthification]

It's ridiculous to see here Russian protest rallies organised by government just to distract people from internal problems. Russia has (and has had) way more serious issues to carry about another than policies of the USA.

[orison319]

i told you neil was a sell out..

[88Grodi]

somehow, before reading enwurds comment, I thought exactly the same, but actually Neil since ever has been more down to earth,nature, gives me goosebumps after all these years, love both of them!

[11xzxzxz]

Neil is allowed to be a hypocrite. I don't listen for the message anyway just that he was the greatest songwriter the world ever knew from 1966 to 1980. This later stuff is really not Neil, I pretend, anyway.

[ectowle]

The entire album just blew me away (poor choice of words - sorry) when I got it immediately after it came out!!!! And, sadly, nothing has changed, except the "players", these days.

[55pogue]

love this song

[slueth88]

Album of the year with only 3 songs out. wow

[cgrsmknwmn]

I believe Mr Young should do an updated version, to reflect the current "Hope and Change" administration. Wouldn't even need to change the lyrics, just the video. Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, ad nauseum, would fit perfectly.

[kenwatch77]

Fuck Dick Cheney. I don't even have much angst towards Bush. Yet I loathe Cheney. He's mad cause his wife bitches him around, so he has to take it out on other people.

[curiousgeorge555]

If I were a betting man I would bet Neil aka Shakey shot some of this footage.

[bookkeeper57]

Warhorse Neil Young takes a crack at deception in the media, from war reporting to product promotion.

[customer667788]

Neil Young, when you wrote this, who was the woman you had in mind?

[jazNbluez]

government collusion,deception has gotta GO. net neutrality,personal freedoms rule..

[customer667788]

when becoming "commericial" is a fine line between "selling-out" and doing what you think is best, Young blazes a damn good path. How many times have you replayed this video/song? Its probably a good time for the grassroots egg to begin to crack and leak, no?

[Kentagerna]

Great song! It would be nice if the lyrics were in the "more info" section. The channel MrAntiEstablishment has put up some fantastic documentaries on consumerism - like "Consuming Kids" and "Affluenza".

[MySerpentine]

Great song

[customer667788]

beats the "tesco jingle" everyday!

[TheMantis1point0]

Why is embedding disabled, no facebook so I have to come to this page? Damn.

Love this song and the lyrics are great we all should listen to them...

[ectowle]

@TheMantis1point0 email it to yourself , I think, will work (under the "share" options). Comment so old, you may have already figured something out... :)

[TheLastNaturalist]

Seems like decades ago when I was screamin' along with this song in my car, pissed off at the last administration.

[bearswilleatme]

bring that truth neil.

[jakintexes]

Keep on rockin for a free world.

[timwebb1000]

Neil. You are the man !!

Why ain't Bobby doin' this stuff ?

We need heroes with great songs.

Unify !!

[enwurds]

The Dylan we knew and loved from the '60s and part of the '70s would have never even gone to the Grammy's, let alone accept a Best Album award (Time Out of Mind), or done a fuckin Christmas album. That guy is dead but thank God Neil's still alive and rockin.

[TheCoachZed]

@enwurds

That's because that Dylan was a facade. He's said as much himself, many times.

He just went where the money was.

[TheCoachZed]

@enwurds

[enwurds]

@TheCoachZed I'll agree with that mostly. I used to be into Dylan and still listen sometimes. I've recently gotten more into Leonard Cohen, especially that live in London album/dvd. Kick ass. His good shit blows Dylan's good shit outta the water, man.

[stryder10171]

@enwurds you do know that Neil Young has won two Grammys and multiple Juno awards right?

[enwurds]

@stryder10171 yes and I'm sure they make nice doorjambs and paperweights. I think Neil only goes/accepts out of respect for the people who do care about such things that work with/for him. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit. Everyone likes to get their ego stroked sometimes. Not sayin Neil's perfect or anything.

[zyfoxmaster666]

@enwurds Um... shut up

[londonleatherboy]

@enwurds Geez, get real man, dylan is king, props to him for not doing what he's "supposed to do" by some f..ktwats like you, like some 'effin lifeless marionette!

Ever heard Time out of mind? It's on par with his best 60's outings.

[enwurds]

@londonleatherboy Mr. Dylan is free to do whatever he wants w/ his career of course, but I'm also free not to like it. I'm not saying I don't like Time Out of Mind, but that's almost more a Daniel Lanois record w/ Bob Dylan on it. In fairness so are the albums he produced for Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, and even Neil Young (to a degree).
