Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - Let's Impeach the President...Why was this written??

I completely disagree. Subtlety transcends time. Songs like this can stand maybe one listen and then they are old news. Masters of War can still be listened to and applied to today even though it was written 35? years ago. Blowin' in the Wind will be pertinent for a lifetime, and even Young's OHIO has a real relevance even today.

But, just as "Youth Against Facism" was a clunker because it was too topical and too 'in yer face', this one will follow. Only this one will land with a louder thud because of our expectations of Young as a protest song writer.
