I appreciated Living with War. Neil has the courage to say it as he believes, knowing that verbal retribution is not far away. Several of the songs on Living with War focus on intolerance, greed, injustice, and corruption. It's not a surprise that these songs receive such strong reaction, especially in the current American Zeitgeist - either you're with us or against us. There is a broad history of protest in music in the US. Agree or disagree with his message, this album joins that club.
BTW, Neil has been an outspoken advocate for environmental issues and small farmers. He also co-founded a school for children with disabilities. Not just a blowhard, but active for the causes in which he believes.
