What kind of crazy talk is this? Music can NOT change the world?

First we find out Botox is not perfectly safe, and now this?

Canadian folk rock legend Neil Young said he has lost all hope that music can change the world, as he presented a documentary about his 2006 anti-war concert tour at the Berlin film festival on Friday.

"I know that the time when music could change the world is past. I really doubt that a single song can make a difference. It is a reality," Young told reporters.

"I don't think the tour had any impact on voters."

Again, I'm stunned. I mean, really, just think of all the many wars that have been ended by a great song. And all the riots that have melted away by playing just the right tune. And now we hear it can't really happen after all.

Neil, where's your faith?

Young said he deliberately included interviews with unimpressed critics and soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan in the documentary of his band's "Freedom of Speech" reunion tour, which earned them both praise and death threats.

"Otherwise I thought it would just feel like a bunch of old hippies. And nobody would care. I would not, I would have left," said Young, who directs his films under the pseudonym Bernard Shakey.

No, no, no, Neil. No one would ever think of you and your friends as just a bunch of old hippies. Never ever. I mean it.

For sure, dude.
