Canadian Musician, Neil Young made it very clear on Thursday’s “Late Show” why he asked
Donald Trump to stop using one of his biggest hits for the Republican
presidential candidate’s campaign.
In June of last year, Young first expressed his displeasure after Trump played his hit song “Rockin’ in the Free World” as the entrance music for the real estate mogul’s announcement of his presidential run.
That sparked one of Trump’s signature Twitter retorts,
in which he called Young a “total hypocrite.” He claimed that they had
met previously to discuss a business deal and that Young recently
invited Trump to a concert. He followed that up with a tweet saying he
“didn’t love [the song] anyway.”
As for the use of the song, Trump did licence its use, which Young recently acknowledged,
though he says he was never asked about it. But the musician was also
pleased that Trump discontinued the use of the song for his campaign.
As for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, whom Young supports, he’s cleared to use the hit.
