Album: Neil Young, Fork in the Road (Warner Bros)
Your support helps us to tell the story
In my reporting on women's reproductive rights, I've witnessed the critical role that independent journalism plays in protecting freedoms and informing the public.
Your support allows us to keep these vital issues in the spotlight. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to fight for truth and justice.
Every contribution ensures that we can continue to report on the stories that impact lives

Neil Young is in dog-like, grunge, anti-consumerist, apocalyptic, preach mode, with lardy backbeat and durrr-brain chord changes nurdled through amps cranked to 11.
You pays your money and you go with Neil's mood swing. "Just singing a song won't change the world," he sings, with a view to changing the world. And then, "Cough up the bucks!/ Where did all the money go?" – short-order sardonicism without grace or wit; rock'n'roll without joy. The sound of a man running out of road.
Pick of the Album: 'Get Behind the Wheel': ZZ Top for the righteous
