Let's Impeach The President Tour '08

Apparently Neil Young is prepping a pretty ambitious tour that just happens to coincide nicely with the election. Although this has yet to be confirmed by official sources, news is popping up all over the interwebs that Mr. Young will be playing a whole bunch of arenas starting in middle October.
