It’s always interesting when Neil Young writes a song about current events. In 2002, for instance, Young released “Let’s Roll” on the album Are You Passionate?. It’s his tribute to the passengers on United 93 — the ones who fought the 9/11 passengers and then died when the plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field. Now, Young’s got a new song called “Let’s Roll Again,” but it’s not a direct sequel. Instead, this one is about how American automakers need to make better cars, with an incidental swipe at Elon Musk.
