Battling Rock Stars Part 1

PARK CITY, Utah - With his two bandmates and their autocratic leader gathered around a dining table, David Crosby is telling a George Bush joke.

"Don't you think it'd be a good idea," he says, chuckling, "if we had a law that said you can't have control of nuclear weapons unless you can pronounce the word nuclear? I'm just asking."

Neil Young stares intensely at his jovial bandmate and - strangely for a guy who wrote a song called "Let's Impeach the President" - reprimands him.

"That comment is a polarizing comment," Young says harshly. "It doesn't have to do with the grass roots of the country in the Midwest. It takes people and separates them."

Later Neil adds this haymaker:

"A lot of people have problems pronouncing words and spelling things correctly. It doesn't mean that they're not intelligent"

Craig checks in: It should be noted that Croz apparently doesn't know that former President Jimmy Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize Winner, pronounces "nuclear" the exact same way Dubyah does. And he was trained by the US Navy to serve on atomic subs. He never did, as he had to quit the Navy when his Dad died.
