Neil Young ~ No more~ Jones Beach, N.Y., Summer of 1989 w/vIDeo

Livin' on the edge of night
You know the sun won't go down slow
You don't know which drug is right
Can't decide which way you wanna go
I feel the way you feel
'Cause not so long ago
It had a hold on me
I couldn't let it go
It wouldn't set me free
It wouldn't set me free
No more, no more, no more.

Seemed like the easy thing
To let it go for one more day
Like singin' the same old song
And twistin' the words
In a different way
Where did the magic go
I searched high and low
I can't find it no more
I can't get it back
I can't find it no more
I can't find it no more
No more, no more, no more, no more.

Searchin' for quality
Havin' to have the very best
Now scroungin' for quantity
Never havin' time
To do the test
That's how the story goes
Can't put it down
Till the last page
I can't put it down
I can't put it down
I can't put it down.

IS CHANGE COMING?
by Tony Meehan Music, like books has never been able to change the world alone. Only people and their mass reaction and the unity of that in the celebration of music can and did. At a time when the masses are for many reasons at their most politically indifferent, it is hard to disagree with Neil's recent comments regarding music and it's role in shaping the world we live in. There are few protest songs or politically motivated artists in these times. Why? My take is the absolute consumerism that consumes us as a force. The majority of people are so wrapped up in their own desires to really care about others. In terms of artists, the irony is that in an age when the distribution of ideology and music is at its most open; it is not being used for political or spiritual communication in the main. This is in my belief proof that apathy and selfishness and greed and ego have replaced the desire to create art as a political statement. In the consumerist and uber-capitalist world we now live in, the corporate machine governs, and the successive generations have fallen for it, hook line and sinker. Musically, most new bands or artists I see today are a reflection of that society; one that desires fame, riches and worst of all 'celebrity' before artistic satisfaction. The decline of the independent labels that Punk spawned has left us in a musical vacuum. As an internet pioneer, I have always believed that a new wave of music would spread the world, and once more music with a message would inspire people for change. I still believe that, and have not lost hope that people via music, will create new communities with political agendas that will drive change. Watch this space. Apathy is our worst enemy. Love and Peace
