Neil Young is Back in the Studio Writing Songs About "The Worst President in the History of Our Country"

Go Neil!! He isnt wrong...

Four dead in Ohio

From the article: Neil Young is channeling his anger at the Trump administration into a new album as he revealed he is currently in the studio. In an update shared to his *[Neil Young Archives](https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=A%20Message%20from%20Neil%203-9-26)*, he says he felt “so hurt for this country”, denouncing Donald Trump as “the worst president in the history of our country”. “Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore. I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it. We have the worst president in the history of our country. Every day a bad TV show produced by DJT is what we get,” he wrote. Young is a longtime critic of Trump and wrote an editorial urging Americans to “rise up” in the wake of the January ICE shooting in Minnesota. In a new op-ed on his website, the musician shared a post titled, “It’s ICE Cold Here in America”, in which he took aim at the growing civil unrest in the country, which he sees as a result of Trump’s “inept government” and lack of “conscience”. “Wake up, people!” he wrote. “Today the USA is a disaster. Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters, inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with Trump’s falseness so they can hold their unearned positions in his inept government, a Congress full of Republicans acting like idiots with no conscience.

It's genuinely inspiring to see an artist with his platform still using his voice this way. The raw emotion he's channeling feels like a necessary counterbalance to the current political climate. We need more iconic voices cutting through the noise with something more substantial than a tweet. This is how protest music is supposed to work.

If only rage against the machine comes back.

Funny how all these older musicians are coming out to speak their voices because the majority of younger artists refuse to express opinions on absolutely anything beyond buy my album or do this dance. There are exceptions but across all genres a lot of substance is missing in music as they don’t want to risk losing a single penny.

I thought that he was Canadian?

Keep on rocking Neil.

isn’t he canadian ?

We’ve come full circle.

He should team up with Bruce.

Man I didn’t think I could love Neil Young anymore than I already do, but here we are.

Someone needs to. Modern musicians haven’t stepped up. Living With War.

Love ya Uncle Neil! Keep on rocking

James Buchanan was this close to having a song written about him by Neil Young

I'll buy this album

And this guy sang “tin soldiers and Nixon coming.” Thinking he was singing about the worst president.

Can’t wait for Trump to post a “Truth” at three AM about “Neil Old, a songwriter nobody cares about…”

I’m not buying an album thats about Trump. I never want to think about that man.

To be fair though, "they" (whoever they are) wanted Trump because he is a dumbass, easily manipulated (I could go on and on with the adjectives), and has money. And an island full of young girls.

Living with War is a great album. You can listen to “Let’s Impeach the President” and just substitute Bush’s voice with Trumps

Correction: History of the world 🌎

Neil sold his catalogue to Black Rock.

Can’t wait to hear it!

Isn’t he Canadian?

The needle and the damage done.

He is from Ontario. Come the f*** back to Canada Neil.

Leave it to a Canadian

I think its the history of the world.

Of course he’s right! And he’s not always right. He can certainly exaggerate. For example, in the 1980s he called CDs the biggest ripoff in history 😆

Neil Young is Canadian.

Isn’t he Canadian?

"Our country." As a Canadian, isn't he Canadian? I appreciate the sentiment, but that pisses me off.

Please sing about Pete Segseth being a blue waffle in human form.

It takes a Canadian to call a s**** a s****. Haha

That's great but where are the pissed off youth and their energy? Back in the 60s they weren't busting out vaudevillian seniors to tell the country to rise up. Gen Z doesn't seem to be adequately taking creative action to match their disillusionment

Yeah Neil! Inject that shit straight into my veins!

Isn’t he from Canada? But hey if Americans eat the message makes it stronger

close enough, welcome back from hell ronald regan!

Then he should tell them they have permission to use *those* songs to dig it in deeper, lmao.

Mansion On The Hill becomes..... Loved Crosby Stills Nash n Young albums way back then!!

Neil knows a terrible US president when he sees one - and he's been seeing them for over 50 yrs ..

Oh the right is going to lose their minds that he’s a Canuck

I never thought I'd miss W. or posers like Dan "Potatoe" Quayle

and if it has a catchy chorus in 20 years a future GOP candidate will be using those songs as their campaign theme, no matter what the rest of the lyrics might say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzOn8ogf7Mg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-iZ_FohNCo

Love Neil Young. Saw him live in 2024, he’s still got it

Was just listening to [Springsteen’s Streets of Minneapolis](https://youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw?si=LCoM04guwnnJejts) a few minutes ago. LFG Neil!

I'm surprised ICE hasn't paid him a visit yet

And with all his effort what are the chances of him making any difference - ZERO. He, and other celebrities, need to concentrate on areas they can change. Helping the poor, homelessness, etc.

Neil is not looking so Young anymore, JK... but keep fighting the good fight

One of the worst...Andrew Jackson was pretty atrocious.

Harvest buffoon After the gold toilet flush Shart of gold

Chester A Arthur?

I thought he was Canadian, eh?

Musicians are know for doing their best work at 80

He's gonna be deported back to Canada soon. *^(Edit: I am Canadian)*

You’re a fellow Canadian, Neil. Otherwise, I’m looking forward to this. Lost some respect for him after seeing $600 tickets at the Amphitheater last summer, though. I’ve seen him live twice in the past.

I hope Neil Young will remember

With Wayne Gretsky singing along.

Hey Neil, just a suggestion ... "The Worst President in the History of Our Country" called the Prime Minister of YOUR ORIGINAL COUNTRY "governor" again the other day. It's time you revoked that dual citizenship you recently got to make a real statement.

More singers need to do this. There's a distinct lack of protest songs these days.

Pretty sure Gene Simmons would be super triggered by Neil Young right about now, based on what Gene said earlier

Even Richard Nixon had soul...

Geezus Neil, it’s about time!

Neil, tell us more about Biden /s

How is he going to balance this with us full time job of chasing Chris Griffin around?
