In 2006, Neil Young reunited with Crosby, Stills, and Nash to embark on a tour that he hoped would raise consciousness against the Iraq War, swing the midterms for the Democrats, and establish a link between the protest music of the '60s and the George W. Bush era. Jack Frayne-Reid (cohost of the Reel Politik podcast) fills in for Luke to discuss Neil Young's documentary CSNY/DEJA VU (2008), and the mild pleasures and serious limitations of Young's Iraq War-themed music. PLUS: the strange story of former Labour MP Mike Gapes.

I'm still proud of fooling Gapesy with my fake "tactical voting" site that suggested him for every constituency in the country

Neil Young used to hang out in my hometown around the time this album came out, because his daughter went to college there. one of my brother's friends who was like a habitual townie partied with him apparently. pretty sad i missed out on that.
