    Has anyone else heard this great new Neil Young song recorded with members of Booker T & the MGs? It was written about the heroic men aboard Flight 93. Here's a link.
    "I know I said I love you,
    I know you know it's true,
    I got to put the phone down,
    And do what we gotta do.

    One's standing in the aisle way,
    Two more at the door,
    We got to get inside there,
    Before they kill some more.

    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

    No time for indecision,
    We got to make a move,
    I hope that we're forgiven,
    For what we gotta do.

    How this all got started,
    I'll never understand,
    I hope someone can fly this thing,
    Get us back to land.

    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

    No one has the answers,
    But one thing is true,
    You got to turn on evil,
    When it's comin' after you.

    You got to face it down,
    And when it tries to hide,
    You got to go in after it,
    And never be denied.

    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.

    Let's roll for freedom,
    Let's roll for love,
    Goin' after Satan,
    On the wings of a dove.

    Let's roll for justice,
    Let's roll for truth,
    Let's not let our children,
    Grow up fearful in their youth.

    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
    Time is runnin' out, let's roll.
    Time is runnin' out, let's roll."


    This is probably the most beautiful thing I've heard since "our troops landed in Afghanistan today."

    There are links to RealAudio and Windows Media streams here.

    As for me, I got an MP3 of it off of WinMX and remastered it a bit since it was a recording off the radio. :D

    I got it a few days ago. I really dig Neil Young, and the new song is really just so cool...very inspiring.

    From Lynerd Skynerd, Sweet Home Alabama

    "Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her.
    Well, I heard ol' Neil put 'er down.
    Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
    a southernman don't need him around anyhow!"

    Neil Young sucks. It was so much better when it was just CS&N

    Yeah, let's hear it for "Sweet Home Alabama," one of the most racist songs still on the airwaves. [face_plain]

    Slacker, why bring up your dislike for the man in a thread about a beautiful and patriotic song he's just written to pay tribute to those who lost their lives attempting to save others on that infamous PA flight?

    That's in very poor tatse. But what else should I expect around here. This place has lost a lot of it's class.

    LOL

    For the record, it's possible to like Neil Young and Skynyrd....as I love them both.
