Neil Young to get his protest on 

Neil Young has never been shy about speaking out via his music. "Southern Man" and "Ohio" are just two examples of several politically tinged tunes he's put out in his illustrious career.

Now the Canadian rocker is ready to devote an entire album to protesting George W. Bush and the Iraq war. Reports even have one tracked named, "Impeach the President." It'll be interesting to see whether Neil's work is received ala the Dixie Chicks or people start to pay attention. One key difference is Young's protest will come out during a time when the President has extremely low approval ratings. But, judging by the high profile feature this story got on the Drudge Report, it appears the right wing machine will be looking take "ole Neil" down. Somehow, I don't think he cares.
