  Neil Young urges Bush impeachment on protest album
By Steve Gorman
Mon Apr 17, 5:42 PM ET

Veteran rocker Neil Young has recorded a protest album featuring an  
anti-Iraq war track with "a holy vow to never kill again" and a song  
titled "Let's Impeach the President," the singer said on Monday.

The 10-track set, called "Living with War," was recorded this month by  
a "power trio" -- electric guitar, bass and drums -- plus trumpet and a  
100 voices, the 60-year-old Canadian-born musician announced on his Web  
site.

Young's longtime manager, Elliot Roberts, told Reuters the album, which  
has been the subject of Internet buzz for several days, will be played  
for executives at his label, Warner Music Group's Reprise Records, on  
Tuesday.

"It's devoted to the state of America, or the direction that America is  
moving in," Roberts said of the album.

In a message crawl along the bottom of his Web site, Young drew  
parallels to two of the leading protest singers of the 1960s, saying of  
his new record: "I think it is a metal version of Phil Ochs and Bob  
Dylan ... metal folk protest?"

The crawl goes on to reveal the lyrics of the album's title track, with  
such lines as: "I raise my hand in peace ... I never bow to the laws of  
the thought police ... I take a holy vow ... to never kill again ...

"In the big hotels ... in the mosques and the doors of the old museum  
... I take a holy vow ... to never kill again."

Roberts confirmed that a separate song on the album is titled "Let's  
Impeach the President." He declined to disclose any further details  
about the record.
