@inthehands As a non-native English speaker I am quite fascinated by native speakers being this oblivious to song lyrics. That's how we get things such as "I used to be a big fan of Rage Against The Machine and went to several shows but I won't play their stuff any more because Tom Morello made a political tweet".

I am most certainly not about to go second guessing Neil Young himself! If he’s good, I’m good.
