The song "Carmichael" from "RETURN TO GREENDALE" film is scheduled to re-premiere today in Hearse Theater Screen #2 | Neil Young Archives.

As the story of Greendale proceeds, Jed shoots Officer Carmichael in a "split second blunder" after being pulled over. Jed's activities seem suspicious in the "See something, say something" post-9/11 atmosphere with "camouflage hung in his closet, guns all over the wall; plans for buildings and engineers, and a book with no numbers at all." Officer Carmichael, appears to have had secrets, as well. Carmichael's relationship with his wife is circumspect, along with his fellow officers and their perfunctory farewell.

the new widow sobbed beneath her veil,
"shot down in the line of duty
is this how justice never fails?" '
