NEW: "Shut It Down" (Official Music Video) - Neil Young & Crazy Horse
As noted previously here, our selecting "Shut It Down" as the Neil Young Song of the Moment on Thrashers Wheat was way too prescient, eerie, right on cue and ahead of its time for our level of comfort and mercy. (Thanks John Q. !)

A new version of the song ‘Shut it Down’ has been made as a document of Earth’s reaction to 2020’s historic pandemic. The original "Shut It Down" video, directed by Bernard Shakey and dhlovelife, is from documentary film MOUNTAINTOP of the recording sessions at Studio in the Clouds for the album Colorado with Crazy Horse.

So, as we previously blogged, those prophecies by Neil Young just keep piling up. (There are no coincidences, recall?)
"(Have to shut the whole system down)
That’s the only way we can all be free
(Have to shut the whole system down)
Start again and build it for eternity
***When I look at the future I see hope for you and me***
(Have to shut the whole system down)
Working, working for eternity, working now, working now
Have to shut the whole system down, working now"
The song was actually written about one year ago while Neil Young recorded the album album Colorado and made the documentary film MOUNTAINTOP of the recording sessions in April 2019.

In the meantime, "Shut it Down" has rocketed up the Charts on Cashbox to #13.
Some ask, why bother with the prophecies of Neil Young?
Shut it Down
Climate Rally - 2019
Well, fair question, we suppose and it seems kind of obvious. But -- for those who just love to bash all things Neil, all the time -- here's why knowing the future is helpful today.
(Really? Do we really need to spell this out?)
Why not just check out the Greendale Prophecies or Neil Young's time traveling into future and back with messages in his songs. so pay attention, now, this time, please?
