Neil Young Not Happy About Trump Again Using His Music: ‘This Is Not OK’


ANOTHER reason to LIKE the guy! He's not going to let Trump get away with stealing his stuff, which is all Trump does, is steal people's stuff! Hell, how many contracts and bank loans has Trump defaulted on, and contractors has he stiffed in the wake of his parasitic life?


Neil Young Not Happy About Trump Again Using His Music: ‘This Is Not OK’

If Donald Trump were only to play rock songs at his events that had the permission of the recording artists in question, his walk-ons and walk-offs would mostly take place to the sound of silence. But he continues to not let artists’ heated objections stand in his way. His event at the base of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota Friday night repeatedly featured the sounds of an artist who’s called Trump out as “a disgrace to our country”: Neil Young.

The Neil Young Archives Twitter account made it clear that the rocker has not changed his position on the president’s unauthorized usage of his material. “This is NOT ok with me,” Young wrote while retweeting a clip of his “Rockin’ in the Free World” being used at the July 4 weekend celebration. Against another clip of “Like a Hurricane” being played as attendees filed in, Young tweeted, “I stand in solidarity with the Lakota Sioux & this is NOT ok with me.”

In an open letter to Trump in February, Young wrote, “You are a disgrace to my country. Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment, and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable.… Our first black president was a better man than you are.” He added that “Rockin’ in the Free World” “is not a song you can trot out at one of your rallies… Every time ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ or one of my songs is played at your rallies, I hope you hear my voice. Remember it is the voice of a tax-paying U.S. citizen who does not support you. Me.”

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why is it that not one of the Republican officeholders objecting to Biden's victory have objected to their own wins on the same day on the same ballots using the same election systems??!
