Just because a guy says something about music don't make it true. And just because people who listen to music think he's wrong just don't make him wrong.

Music is an art. By itself--unless your art is exploding H bombs to make cloud-like patterns in the air--your art ain't gonna change a damned thing. But as Ron said upthread, it may change a few people who then go on to change a few things.

I was never a fan of Neil Young's writing, or his singing, but I do know he had and has LOTS of fans. Maybe a few of them have made inroads against injustice--maybe more than most folks.

That is all I have to say.
