I'm in San Francisco, but I can talk to my Japanese buddies. I write in my network diary over the Internet, and my buddies add comments. They are thousands miles away, and I haven't seen any of them in person, but we get along very well.
"Listen! Big news! Neil Young is shouting out, 'Let's impeach the President!'" As soon as I wrote, a couple of buddies responded right away. "I don't know who Neil is, but I want to check it out." "I've already listened to the stream. Sounds very passionate. The title 'Let's Impeach The President' is awesome!"
John, Ben and many other Americans are very excited at this moment. We are singing along with Neil and shouting out 'Let's Impeach The President'! The Internet reaches the whole world. Europeans, Australians and all the people understand English are shouting out together.
My buddy M wrote, "Is that really that awesome?" Yes, it really is awesome. But I can't describe it because it is in English. There are websites where we can read the whole lyrics, but for someone doesn't use English in daily basis, has no way of understanding it. How frustrating! This song is telling the truth, it is telling everything. I wish M can understand. I wish all my buddies understand.
I decided to translate "Let's Impeach The President" into Japanese. If they read and understand it, they will surely know why Neil is shouting and why we are shouting with him.
