I actually think he’s a great musician. I like a lot of his work. But it just p***es me off when musicians use their music as a vehicle to push their politics. Because he has a microphone he is able to push his thoughts on others. Neil Young is a much better musician than I am. I very much doubt he is wiser, more astute, or better educated than me, or you. Quite possibly less. Same goes for athletes, movie stars, and other types of celebrity.
