On CNN, Neil Young gets interviewed by a woman who looks perpetually surprised. A snippet:
Interviewer: This music is already causing a stir. You've got one song called 'Let's impeach the President.' What is this song about?Neil Young: It's a song that pretty well follows the title, just with a bunch of reasons. It's a long song.
Interviewer: Are you concerned that someone might think you're unpatriotic?
Neil Young: Ah no, I'm not concerned about that in the least. I feel like I'm exercising my right of free speech, which is what our boys are fighting for the Iraqi people to have. And I think that if we take it away from the people here in the United States we're taking a step in the wrong direction. That's what great about this free country and about all free countries is freedom of speech and the ability to express yourself. That makes us different from everybody else. So I'm not worried about that.
Watch for yourself, especially the well articulated bits about personal conscience:

Great interview by Neil Young, and not getting much from the interviewer.
It was funny right at the the end when the guy in the studio asks her a question and she just says "hhmmm."
