When Donald Trump strode on to the stage at Trump Tower on Tuesday to announce that he would enter the Republican race for president, a rock and roll anthem blared: Neil Young’s "Rockin’ in the Free World." It was an odd choice, given that the 1989 song seemed to slam a Republican administration for not giving a damn about the poor. And Young has taken exception to Trump's appropriation of his tune. A statement issued to Mother Jones for Young by his longtime manager Elliot Roberts suggests Young was not pleased by Trump's use of the song:
In other words, it may be a free world, but you're not free to steal my song.

Reagan first used "Born in the USA!" Springsteen asked them to stop. Did they understand what the song was clearly about? Next Reagan used "Little Pink Houses". Again, listen to the song. Mellencamp rebuffed quickly. Honestly I didn't know about either of their politics at the time ( neither did the Reagan campaign either) but to pick songs from those two now is hilarious.
Bob Dole turned "I'm a Soul Man" into "I'm a Dole Man". The families of Sam AND Dave asked them to stop.
Sarah Palin started using "Barracuda" after she went from Grizzly Mom to a Barracuda within a week of her campaign of madness. The Wilson sisters strongly requested that she stop.
John McCain inexplicably started using "Running on Empty" by Jackson Brown. Yes running on empty. Yes No-Nukes --- probably not a supporter from a block away Jackson Browne. Browne actually tracked after the campaign AFTER the election landslide with a lawsuit really just to shove it in their face.
Trump and Neil Young?
