...Clinton f---ed us. Let's cut the United States loose and let it drift downstream." Maine should stand up for Mainers, said Neils. In his view, the common enemy uniting Mainers, especially in the impoverished communities Neils grew up in, is government "run by and for the rich and on the backs of the poor." "I live beside conservatives," said Neils, "and there's no reason I can't find intense political ground with them. When we get together, we talk about community, how to take care of our people, feed our people. There's no place in that...
...Lyrics for the soundtrack are entirely drawn from the novel’s text, but while the project’s concept is intriguing, the album itself proves disappointing.

Born in a shanty town, he became extremely rich and famous at a very young age; he can claim both Italian and indigenous ancestry; and politically he has veered from hobnobbing with right-wing Peronists such as former Argentine President Carlos Menem in the 1990s to being an outspoken and unconditional supporter of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez today...
