The best way to beat Neil Young is to be more popular than him. He's failed at this before. He wrote a song called Southern Man which got some airplay, but Lyrnyrd Skynyrd wrote a response that ended up being far, far more popular ("southern man don't need him anyhow") and ultimately Neil Young ended up regretting his original song because he realized it was condescending. https://www.countryliving.com/life/entertainment/a43715/swee...

I'm sympathetic to Neil on this one but he's just signalling to his tribe and won't have an impact on anybody else.
