...think your body of work is relevant to Obama's election? I'm very attentive to history and to a historical understanding of any given present as a way of both looking back and moving forward. That theme resonated throughout the Obama campaign...
Yesterday Barack Obama called for a day of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., and in keeping with the "sacrifice" theme of his new Administration, many heeded the summons, doing good deeds at soup kitchens and homeless shelters. But millions of others just went to the movies. I was one of them.

But that doesn't stop Young from trying; parts of his 2008 world-tour concerts were peppered with angry rants about the financial collapse. In November he even released his own plan for saving the U.S. auto industry. Young aimed to tackle "the issue of global warming from our automobiles while enhancing our national security and keeping Detroit working." Wow, did the Woodstock generation get boring, or what...
