Living With War and Neil Young

Neil Young isn't only the greatest living singer-songwriter (sorry, Bob Dylan), but he's also creating a media stir with a new album titled "Living With War." All this coincides with the start May 1 of my new course on "Freedom of Speech in Wartime."

The entire album is a swipe at the War on Terror and at George W. Bush and already (and predictably) has conservatives counter that Neil is ... is ... is ... Canadian! (And you know that the Canadians are practically French.)

Take a look at this clip on from CBS on the album. And for the "fair and balanced" view, make sure you check out Neil Cavuto's blast at Young from Fox News.

And you can listen to the entire album, free of charge, by going here.
