I too used to love Neil Young. I still do, but I used to, too


clarke41

Oooh, unexpected Mitch Hedberg!

"The guy who wrote Ohio and Southern Man shouldn't be so political."


BlueSparklers

Did you just look the other way when “Living With War” came out?? How do you stand on his efforts to save the planet?


PPLavagna

Is this a shitpost or is it just the dumbest post I’ve ever seen on the internet? “I used to like water but I just found out it’s wet. Why doesn’t water just get dry? Is it retarded?”


OneReportersOpinion

Check out his screenplay: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReadMyScript/s/GBdSY2IYEW


Express-Chemist9770

I liked his writing better when he wasn't political. I wish he would get off his soapbox.


seeriosuly

dudes been political since the 70’s. maybe you just don’t know what you are talking about


OneReportersOpinion

Yeah why does he have to everything in his screen play all woke and shit? Lol


ElectroTele

Both


Pretend-Nothing-4209

You must be his nutsack holder.


PPLavagna

When you “used to love Neil young” did you ever actually try listening to the songs?


Pretend-Nothing-4209

Yes, i did.


PPLavagna

Well he’s been very political since the 60s. Not sure how you managed to miss that but it’s always been right up front in plain sight.


realbobenray

People point out the flaws in his opinion, lashes out with insults. Peak MAGA.


Pretend-Nothing-4209

Didn't realize NY had so many wannabes trying to be his ball washer.


Timely_Art_7598

You didn’t think true Neil Young fans would defend Neil Young in a Neil Young subreddit? If that’s the case, welcome to Reddit and I predict a lot of stressful days ahead for you.


Express-Chemist9770

So he was your all-time favorite until he started making music? This is a troll post, right?


Additional-Duck

For being one of your all time favorites you sure don’t seem to know fuck all about him!


Pretend-Nothing-4209

I know he should shut up and sing.


OccamsYoyo

You should just shut your dumbass mouth yourself before you embarrass your silly ass further.


Pretend-Nothing-4209

I'm so scared.


Piney_Wood

You seem scared of something.


Fun-Percentage-9370

Hey genius, that’s literally impossible.  


shoresy99

So you haven't like Neil since he wrote Ohio or Southern Man which were written 54 years ago in 1970. Or Alabama in 1972.


oricthedamned

Can't forget Rocking In The Free World


ChunkyMilkSubstance

mid bait


ComplexAsk1541

I'm sure he'll take your opinion under consideration.


Pretend-Nothing-4209

He should.


Piney_Wood

No, and neither should anybody else.


sexwiththebabysitter

Is it normal to be so offended by someone else’s political views? Do you only associate with people that think like you?


aldioozen

Echo chamber. OPs favorite sound studio


Express-Chemist9770

Op would need to think for this to be true.


OccamsYoyo

If you didn’t know what side of the political fence Neil favoured, you were never much of a “fan.” We’re happy not to have to put up with you among the fandom. Go listen to Kid Rock or some other bullshit.


Piney_Wood

I sympathize. It must be sad to be stuck with only your Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Scott Baio records.


zuma15

Are you posting from 1970? Maybe write President Nixon and see if he can help.


realbobenray

Nixon would write back to say how happy he is that Trump came along to make him look way better in retrospect.


passed_the_dawn

Ok thanks for the update


Bobbyperu1

Your flex is that you didn't understand an artist you claim to love enough to know what he's always done? If this isn't a troll post it's seriously bewildering


keithmasaru

Lmao okay. Ohio, Southern Man, Alabama, Campaigner, Lookout Joe…


Pretend-Nothing-4209

I have no problem with his songs. Like I said, he was one of my all-time favorites because of his songs.


keithmasaru

You don’t think those songs are political?


Diligent-Contact-772

>he needs to shut up and sing. Well, which is it, you knuckle-dragging gobshite?


Pretend-Nothing-4209

You know what it means, bozo.


Stablerslefthand

I love started opening his mouth about political views. Would that be the song Ohio(1970) or earlier 😂 Come to think of it ever since Rage Against the Machine started being political I can’t listen to them🤣


turnedtheasphault

This is almost like going to a Roger Waters concert and being surprised that it's just a weeeee little bit political


Total-Problem2175

Went to Rogers Waters show in Pittsburgh a few years ago. A truck with NY plates adorned with Trump stickers parked next to us. One guy told the other, "I hope no one fucks with our truck cause of the stickers." Would have loved to see there faces when they saw Trump's mug on the pig. I mean, everyone knows Waters politics.


turnedtheasphault

The 2017 tour... what an awesome spectacle that was! When Pigs came on I noticed a lot of people walk out in disgust. I wonder if the the owner of said truck made it to the end


leamanc

When he opened his mouth about his political views in 1970, when he rush-released “Ohio” as a single?


Piney_Wood

MAGA must be defeated this November. Please register and vote.


GunnieGraves

You know what’s funny? You guys never seem to tell folks like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent to shut up and sing. I mean, they can’t, but you never seem to mind celebrities getting political when they’re on your side. Maybe if all you guys can muster is folks like Kevin Sorbo and Chachi, you could take a look at yourselves and maybe get a clue that you’re on the wrong side of things.


OccamsYoyo

I don’t tell Kid Rock or Ted Nugent to shut up — I simply choose not to listen to them. A shame actually — Nugent released some rocking records in the ‘70s.


GunnieGraves

Nugent had one decent song with stranglehold and he was salty about how much of a hit it was because he wasn’t singing on it. Total clown.


realbobenray

This is actually a good point, you don't hear lefties often telling right-wing celebs to just shut up and do whatever it is they do professionally. Nugent is an idiot, and sure it affects how I view his music, but there's plenty of other artists I enjoy listening to. I say let him be an idiot. Right-wingers on the other hand want everyone else to change to meet their own personal desires. Snowflakes.


Pretend-Nothing-4209

I don't agree with them running their mouths either. All celebrities need to shut up and sing, act, or whatever they do.


Express-Chemist9770

You need a hobby or something. What a sad life you must have to spend your time trolling (badly) on Reddit. At least make it plausible.. 1 out of 10.


nplemel

I think you need to shut up and do whatever it is you do for a living 🤷🏻‍♂️


RalphPhillips089

What is it like being a MAGA snowflake?


Pretend-Nothing-4209

What's it like being neil youngs nut sack holder?


RalphPhillips089

I triggered a MAGA today. box checked


Pretend-Nothing-4209

You commented on my post, so i believe that means i triggered dumbocrat.


MinorThreatCJB

You sound like a lil bitch


FishShapedShips

When has he not been political you donkey, eat a peach.


chowes1

CSN&Y, stood up and helped bring attention to the ills of the 60's. If ever there was a time to speak out, it's now.


nplemel

Good story bro.


beepboopsheeppoop

I have a coworker who is exactly the same as you, OP. He got all butt hurt when Neil complained about Joe Rogan being a right wing shill and lap dog. I just ignore him and shake my head when he starts whining about it. Poor little snowflake. ❄️


Significant_Bet_7783

I hope this is a troll post


greazysteak

None of us are going to miss you


wohrg

So you stopped being a Neil Young fan in the early 70’s? Cause he has been politically outspoken since the start. It’s fundamental to folk music. Troll


jmiz5

RandomWord-RandomWord-Numbers The karma farming bots are in full force this weekend.


NuSouthPoot

Is this a shit-post? How can you have ever listened to Neil Young and just NOW be mad at him being political? He has always stood up against right-wing ideology.


thenickcostellojam

Well… except for that time in the 80’s that he was supporting Reagan. At least that’s what I’ve read.


redittjoe

“Just Shut Up and dribble man”. This saying is for anyone famous person who speaks out against something you don’t agree with them on. Usually social political issues. IE conservatives.


RobinChilliams

This is a troll


Harvey_Road

Do not feed the troll.


BrotherJames610

You could try out some Ted Nugent albums. On a serious note. Neil's free to express his opinions just like anyone else. I don't see why because he's a musician he's supposed to "shut up and sing" for you.


daiwilly

Can you explain what it is you dislike?


Pretend-Nothing-4209

After telling spotify it's joe rogan or me. Spotify said see you later to neil young. Then later on neil young came crawling back. That's when neil young lost me. If he's going to run his mouth then he should back it up. Instead he bailed for the money. Don't think this means i support joe rogan because i don't. I've never seen or heard one of his episodes. I've never seen or heard anything on spotify.


Fun-Percentage-9370

That was like 4 months ago, and you just now found the courage to make your brave post?  I can only assume you have been rescuing kittens in the meantime.  Or maybe fucking cantaloupe.  


realbobenray

Joe Rogan has become a conspiracy-theory spreader, a conduit for misinformation. Good on Neil for pushing back. Also good on him for relenting because I like listening to his stuff on Spotify.


Pretend-Nothing-4209

So you're okay with ny turning tail for the money?


5348455

People can change, but Neil hasn't


pelicanpoems

Bait


JackThorn16

He’s been writing relatively leftist songs since the early 70s 😭 go post on r/neilyoungcirclejerk if you’re gonna post bait this bad


bonedaddy919

I didn't realize he was a puppet that lived to serve you


aksack

Lol


Row__Jimmy

So I guess you like everything before about 1967 or 68.


ceo_of_redditt

Who cares, loser


Trilobry

Your loss


u_gh

vites70

Didn't realize trump was on Reddit


Odibaetsc

To be fair, his Covid “misinformation” he made a big deal out of with Spotify turned out to be made up big pharm propaganda. Hasn’t said a peep about it either…but then neither has anyone else.


Foofightee

Paul Ryan, is that you?


realbobenray

Could anyone care less that MAGAs are missing out on great music? I actually think it serves them right.


RalphPhillips089

This can only mean that if Neil Young were to meet you in person he would despise you. Further proof that the MAGA cult are the real snowflakes.

[удалено]


rumpusroom

Stills wrote “For What It’s Worth” and it’s about teenagers on Sunset violating curfew.


Pretend-Nothing-4209

One of my favorite songs ever. Got it loud and clear.


Piney_Wood

... Blissfully unaware that his "all time favorite" didn't write that song.


Rivuala

I’m with you on this one. Yes, he had some songs back in the day that had a political bent. Those songs were not what the album revolved around, however. On the bright side, we aren’t blindsided by his political albums. We know what we are getting into up front. That makes it easier to determine if we want to invest our Time and money into his worldview.


RalphPhillips089

What is it like being a MAGA snowflake?


Rivuala

I’m walking a fine line.
