NEW VIDEO: Neil Young "Who's Gonna Stand Up" at Harvest the Hope #NoKXL Benefit
Here's a new video edit of Neil Young "Who's Gonna Stand Up" at Harvest the Hope #NoKXL Benefit.
The description below is from Bold Nebraska:
In an effort to help Get Out the Vote for Election Day in the U.S. on Nov. 4, Bold Nebraska partnered with Neil Young to release this live concert video of his performance of his new anti-pipeline anthem "Who's Gonna Stand Up" from the Harvest the Hope concert last month.
Voters in Nebraska can find out which candidates oppose Keystone XL and give a damn about protecting our land and water in the New Energy Voter Guide here: http://NEvoter.org
Harvest the Hope took place on a farm in Nebraska that lies both on the proposed path of the Keystone XL pipeline, and crosses the historic Ponca "Trail of Tears." (http://boldnebraska.org/concert)
You can also add your voice to Neil's by sending a handwritten letter to Pres. Barack Obama asking him to reject Keystone XL and protect our land, water and climate for future generations here: http://pipelinefighters.org

(Neil is accompanied in performance here by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, and Micah Nelson).

who's gonna stand up and tell neil this song sucks?
ReplyDelete@ Dominic - well, it seems that you are boldly standing up here.
ReplyDeleteBut judging from the 1000's & 1000's in the video, it looks like everyone is in disagreement with you?
why could that be? What is it that the good folks in Nebraska are hearing and bringing a smile to their faces and raising their arms in the air?
Could it possibly be that you disagree with Neil's message about saving the earth? Maybe you feel it is unnecessary to protect the earth for the future? Maybe you don't really like other folks trying to make a difference?
How about it? The song really doesn't suck -- it's a threat to you and your way of life.
But hey, just singing a song won't save the world, so relax.
peace
Thrash...you can agree with the message and still think the song ...pretty much ...well...let's say isn't very good.
ReplyDeleteOther new songs are beginning to sound like bad ballads from the 1980's...
