“Convicted” vs. “Acquitted”

I love the original song, the cover, and how Neil Young has often to re-told the Euro-centric (& seemingly amoral) narratives about Native American and European interactions:

Okay, don’t watch the video first. First GO HERE to listen to the cool Swedish techno: ‘Heartbeats’ by The Knife. Then let Jose Gonzalez pour melodic honey on your ears…
