Neil Young's new Album-Living with War

Through out history, music has been one of the most widespread means of making a dissent to sensitive matters of a country. Musicians have expressed emotions and ideas through sounds and words. They have fused political words with musical tone. During the dark ages people used to express detailed messages through drums and horns .In this age of war and terrorism musicians are sending messages through words. They have seen themselves in the middle of hot topics. The popularity of using music as a means of sending political messages to Bush administration has been met with a public outcry. We’ve seen musicians being sanctioned by the public for being critical of Bush administration. You might think such a style of intimidation was a third world sport, but it is happening right here in America. Today I had the chance of listening to the new album of Neil Young, living with war, off his website (neilyoung.com). I was moved by how human creativity can be used to express anti-war stands. Musicians are in their own right important to the anti-war campaign. America image is withering away at the hands of Bush and his cronies. Although it is important to note that the country is at war right now and that the soldiers need our support, but this should not blurred us from seeing the lies and deceit that lead America to this war. Although there is a universal acceptance of the right to self –defense, the question of why America attacked the wrong people should not be silenced. The president should not be immune to criticism. I will buy Neil Young new album once it comes out to support free speech.
