Neil Young在橫跨半個世紀的音樂生涯中寫過不少抗議歌曲，而他最新的發行的〈Who’s Gonna Stand Up?〉也企圖喚起聽眾的政治意識。Neil Young非常關心官商勾結，造成環境持續過度開發的問題，在看過紀錄片《Under the Influence》後，他決定以七月與Crazy Horse現場表演的歌曲〈Who’s Gonna Stand Up?〉來表達他對這個紀錄片的支持。

他在官網寫下《Under the Influence》的大綱。這部片是關於企業與政府以民主之名做出一些傷害民主的事，他們互相圖利，制定一些幫助企業開發環境的法律，使得一般民眾生活的環境越來越惡化；《Under the Influence》聚焦在民眾能夠展開哪些行動來停止破壞環境，並且奪回民主。

下方可以試聽〈Who’s Gonna Stand Up?〉及欣賞《Under the Influence》的預告片。

Under the guise of democracy, huge global corporations have purchased our politicians and are writing laws that poison our planet and dismantle our democratic process. Corporations have usurped democracy by using their vast wealth to influence politics and silence the citizen voice in government. All natural living systems are in rapid decline, pushing the human race ever closer to extinction. Despite enacted environmental protections, global corporations have recklessly abused the four natural resources that we rely on for life (air, soil, fresh water and oceans) as an open sewer for their toxic wastes with blatant disregard for humankind. Neither the environmental crisis nor the many other social and economic crises we face can be addressed until democracy is restored and this cycle of corruption is broken by corporate money being removed from politics. UNDER THE INFLUEN$E focuses on what can and is being done by conscious and committed citizens, movements and businesses to reverse the ecological destruction and take back democracy.
