Neil Young Speaking Out Via Music and Video 

Neil YoungNeil Young has never been afraid to speak out on an issue and even after the attempted silencing of the Dixie Chicks he's still undeterred.

In "After the Garden," linked below, Al Gore's global-warming warning An Inconvenient Truth lends footage to create a fictionalized news station, LWW. The second video below, "Families," focuses on American troops in Iraq and the comparison between family life in America and the life some see on the battlegrounds.

Watch "Families" here: QT / WM and "After the Garden" here: WM / QT.

Given his Canadian citizenship (although I believe his wife and two kids are American Citizens), don't be surprised if ole Neil is harrassed by immigration authorities if he continues bucking up against the current administration. You'll recall what John Lennon got for promoting "radical ideas" like peace and love.
