I'm familiar with Neil Young and his songs "harvest moon" and "heart of gold." I find that most songs during the Vietnam War were full of anti-war messages and fighting the system. This is the main reason why I can't stand music today. Pop stars and rappers now sing about sex, drugs, and money. Where's the art in that? Artists like Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan understood what it was the make music. Now, the goal of making large sums of money fuels artists to pursue a music career, rather than doing it because it could make a difference.
The article also mentioned Glen Beck. Personally, I hate the guy. The arguments he makes are outrageous and he is a genuinely bigoted man. I still remember on the anniversary of 9/11, he was saying how he hated the victim's families. He also made remarks towards how he hated how ungrateful the hurricane Katrina victims were. I mean seriously? What is wrong with this guy.
