Neil Young interviews are rare events - the last longer one I read was in Mojo magazine a long while ago - so new ones always catch my attention. Now, he discussed his new album Greendale with David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine:

"This is a time, I believe, of great inner turmoil for the majority of the American people. There is a new morality coming out of this administration - fundamentalist religious views; a holier-than-thou attitude towards the rest of the world - that is not classically American. I don't think Americans felt holier-than-thou in the twentieth century. We were happy and successful, with a great lifestyle. But something else is going on now. That's what Greendale is about. That's what Grandpa's problem is. He can't understand what's going on. He sees all of these things that the Patriot Act has taken away from what he feels is America."
