Presidential candidate, real estate mogul, and reality television personality Donald Trump is taking his beef with Neil Young to the next level.

Trump used one of Young's songs, "Rockin' In The Free World," as entrance music at his presidential campaign announcement on June 16. Afterwards, Young's manager released a careful statement saying he did not authorize Trump to make his song a part of the campaign.

Nobody else in the Republican field can take on the popular culture, and win.

This does severe damage to Neil Young's "brand".

And all the shining lights in arts and entertainment are taking notice.

As are all the politicians that solicited money and offered favors to Donald Trump.

The very people we all enjoy watching cower in fear.

It’s like professional wrestling, grudge matches, trash talking, and heroes becoming villains.

Trump used one of Young's songs, ...

"Rockin' In The Free World,"

"Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for president of the United States of America," Young's manager said.


'Rockin' In The USSR' is in Neil Young's world.

I check his twitter page several times a day. He is very quick to respond to anyone who bashes him. So far, he has responded to Karl Rove, Dana Perino, Neil Young, Krauthammer, George Will, and an NBC reporter. He is posting evidence when he has it. lolol!
