Hippies for censorship

Hippies are the most disappointing subculture, aren’t they? They always let you down. They cut their hair, become therapists or corporate sustainability advisers, and before you know it these people who wanged on about Woodstock for 50 years are being paid a fortune by The Man to badger me and you. Just look at Neil Young. The one-time cocaine-stained hero of LA’s alternative scene, singer of angry songs about Vietnam and the Kent State massacre, participant with Crosby, Stills and Nash in the Freedom of Speech Tour of 2006, is now basically pleading with a huge corporation to silence people he doesn’t like. From protest singer to agitator for capitalist censorship? What a fall.

    Vox Day has a brutal fetish for all things related to the death of boomers. Its a bit sad, really, but funny as fuck.
    Regardless, his observations about what that generation has done and is doing, aren't wrong.

      Vox Day might be funny, don't read much of his shit. But I am willing to bet that funny or not; like most young punks - he talks a lot of shit he would not say to some Boomer's face. Mine, for example. Gotta watch that categorization; there's always some who don't fit your stereotype. And will back it up.

    We haven't seen that spirit here since 1969.

    I wonder where it went?
