Neil Young said on Friday that he had lost all hope that music can change the world, as he presented a documentary about 2006 antiwar concert tour by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at the Berlin film festival, Agence France-Presse reported. âI know that the time when music could change the world is past,â Mr. Young said. âI really doubt that a single song can make a difference. It is a reality.â Mr. Young made no distinction between the Vietnam War, during which Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young earned a reputation for political activism, and the war in Iraq, which their tour condemned with songs like âLetâs Impeach the President.â âIt is all the same war, and it hurts everybody,â he said. âItâs a wrong way to solve a problem,â he said, adding that Americans were deluded if they thought they were liberating Iraq.
