Audio: Neil Young Releases Free Live ‘Who’s Gonna Stand Up?’ – Listen Now!

Neil Young, Liverpool, July 13, 2014.

Neil Young is encouraging people to watch the documentary, “Under The Influence,” which is about how “corporations have usurped democracy by using their vast wealth to influence politics and silence the citizen voice in government.”

And he’s made available his new song, “Who’s Gonna Stand Up?,” which was recorded live in Liverpool on in July of this year.

This is all good. However, I’m disappointed in Neil Young because he, like many others who claim to be environmentalists, ignores the biggest cause of climate change in the world, which is the eating of meat and animal secretions (such as milk) and the use of products made from animals.

It would be good for Neil to watch the new documentary, “Cowspiracy,” and then encourage his fans to watch it too.

And if Neil gave up eating meat, he’d set a good example and he’d feel a lot better too.
