Keep On Rockin' And Raising Consciousness

Continuing the theme of last week's "Musical Bricks Through The Walls Of Oppression": While Neil Young may have forgotten the good old days when he retorted, “Freedom Of Speech”, to a booing crowd upset about his song, "Let's Impeach The President", that doesn't take away from the fact that he has put out some great music over the years.

If we worship musicians, hanging on their every word, are we any different than those who fawn over celebrities and those anointed by Pedowood?

When someone puts out a great song or movie performance, let us enjoy the moment. That hardly infers, however, that everything they write or act contains great wisdom. Indeed, often they find themselves merely repeating what they are told to say, lest they have a brutal fall from fame.

One of the occasions that Young knocked it out of the park was his "Keep On Rocking In The Free World". Another outstanding song to be played at gatherings. Every person a musician if not a king, uniting young and old. Perhaps in attendance even those struggling to reconcile the "Free World" that Young sings of with the censored one he was told to advocate.
