David Kronke: Neil Young goes Russ Feingold one better

| | Comments (0)

Neil Young can still stir the pot: He's recorded a new song, not-so-subtly titled "Let's Impeach the President." In an interview on CNN Headline News' "Showbiz Tonight," Young explained that the song listed reasons why President Bush should be impeached.

"It's a long song," he said. And quite a turnaround from an earlier Young number, "Let's Roll."

Note that interviewer Sibila Vargas framed virtually every question in a negative context (he's trying to sell records, he's jumping on the anti-Bush bandwagon, he's Canadian), which is unheard of for an entertainment-news show. Would CNN have had her ask such pointed questions if Neil's song was titled, "Let's Rally 'Round our President?"

And will she ask Robin Williams such tough questions: "You've made 'RV,' which is aimed at dumb people - are you just doing this to sell tickets? Are you jumping on the anti-intellectual bandwagon?"
