3. Neil was tight!
He was awesome

Thrasher

It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement
turns to sand
With a one-way ticket
to the land of truth

7. How long until it appears on Crooks and Liars?
Twenty minutes. My guess.

Neil just laughed. He laughed last, too.

9. A few years ago I was advised to listen to Neil Young by
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 11:43 PM by ConsAreLiars
a couple of young outcasts living in and dealing dope out of a VW van. They had a pit bull and I commented (favorably) on the dog, etc., and the conversation wandered onto music and I told them I hadn't paid much attention or seen much worthwhile since Phil Ochs killed himself. They told me I needed to listen to Neil, that the spirit had not died. They were right.

And, as a bonus, apart from putting the whole album online (listen again if you haven't heard it recently), he has put together a treasure trove of links to other truthtelling music.

19. Another Phil Ochs fan! OMG, I loved him so. "Outside of a small
circle of friends."
Maybe it's because I was in college '67-'71....

10. Go, Neil.
I wish "Let's Impeach the President" hadn't been cut so short, but that's okay. I'm listening to it now. Thank you for being a Canadian American patriot. America needs all the patriots it can get right now. God knows the president and most of Congress aren't patriots!

Here's to you, Neil! :toast:

12. Did you see the look on Colberts' face after he "stopped" Neil?
Edited on Fri Aug-18-06 12:42 AM by gulfcoastliberal
Pure joy - you know he loved it.

And that part about Pluto being a planet - that Neil Tyson had huevos grandes to go back on the Report to eat crow. And the part where Colbert insults Plutos moon Charon and that asteroid were pretty good, too. Then we got another "better know a district"! Tonights show gets an A+ from me.

Did anyone notice during the "Executive Producer" when the credits rolled? :rofl:

13. I love Colbert - it WAS pure joy!
and Neil was great, too. Just laid back, and telling the truth.

What happened during "Executive Producer"? I missed it.
