Rocker Neil Young said that he has changed his mind and is now considering suing President Donald Trump over the continued use of his 1989 hit single Rockin in the Free World at campaign rallies.
Neil Young said the reason he is considering is the presidents recent decision to deploy federal agents to urban areas in order to quell weeks of rioting and destruction. The musician described federal agents as thugs and said the rioting has been peaceful, despite the ample destruction to federal property and private businesses.
I am changing my mind about suing President Trump. Reconsidering. Im looking at it again, Young wrote in a post on his official site.

BMI and ASCAP hold the copyright power to license the music to anyone willing to pay the fee. Your other causes of action are so frivolous they would not survive an immediate motion to dismiss.
another POS anti-American song by a POS anti-American fag
Shut up Neil or Trump might take you down by the river....
Surprised to hear him say this , most people thought he was dead
Add to that, Haitians, Cubans, people from the Doominican Republic etc who come here to play baseball than take a knee at OUR national anthem.
Dont wanna be a Canadian Idiot
If Young sues then we'll find out how frivolous they are.
Regardless, Ted Nugent or Kid Rock don't have songs Trump could use. I doubt they would care. Could probably use the publicity.
Never liked Neil, his music is very simplistic & repetitive...voice just average at best...decent guitar player...
Plenty of other songs to use at Trump rallies...
Guess Neil don’t have no Heart of Gold...
Jim Carrey, Justin Bieber, Ted Cruz...
How do you sue somebody for playing your song? My goodness your recorded music is public, right?
Hey Neil I just bought your song, ok if I play it?

I have family there, and I can assure you, many Canadians define themselves to a large degree by the fact that they have universal health care and gun control, and that we don’t (at least to the same degree). There is a lot of jealousy and bitterness and unjustified moral superiority.
Though I like much of Young’s music, he has always been a world-class a**hole.
Prolonged drug use results in SFB.
Doesn’t help that he’s “dating” Daryl Hannah.

Neil Yung sounds like a male cat before it got neutered.
