Neil Young’s manager has confirmed that Donald Trump
used his song Rockin’ In The Free World without his permission. Neil
Young has also endorsed Bernie Sanders.
One of the weirdest moments in a very weird speech
came when Donald Trump announced that he was running for president
looked up at the ceiling and then Rockin’ In The Free World started
playing.
At the time, I wrote that Trump was using Young’s
music without his permission. Neil Young’s music has a strong liberal
message, so there was zero chance that Young gave racist bigot Donald
Trump permission to use his song.
Sure enough, Neil Young’s manager Elliot Roberts issued a statement to Mother Jones
confirming that Trump did use the song without his permission, “Donald
Trump’s use of “Rockin’ in the Free World” was not authorized. Mr. Young
is a longtime supporter of Bernie Sanders.”
Not only will Donald Trump be getting a cease and
desist letter in the mail shortly, but Neil Young has also endorsed
Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump is worse than an idiot or a buffoon. He
is a thief, who took the work of another human being and attached it to
his presidential campaign. Even worse, Trump had no idea that the song
is critical of the very policies and belief system that he is running
for president on. The phrase Rockin’ In The Free World is not a flag
waving Republican anthem. It is a sarcastic takedown of Republican
values.
Neil
Young supports Bernie Sanders, and there is no way in hell that he
would ever support Donald Trump or let him near his music.
