I think it would be cool to be called out by name in one of the most classic of rock songs ever. Neil's grandkids grandkids will know that he he somehow managed to piss of all of the south.
It was a response to Neil Young's song Southern Man about racism in the South. A lot of people mistakingly take it as against the anti racism message in Southern Man when it was just a response that not all southerners are like that.
