Neil Young sounded off on President Donald Trump yesterday (July 6) in one of his signature scathing letters after Trump used his music at another one of his rallies. But Young had another suggestion cued up.
Over the weekend, Young expressed his disdain for the Commander-in-Chief on Twitter when he played his classics "Rockin’ in the Free World" and "Like a Hurricane" during his Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota's Black Hills, a sacred area to the Lakota Sioux where Indigenous people arrived to protest the president's event.
In his latest letter to the president posted on his Neil Young Archives website, the 74-year-old rocker wrote, "Although I have repeatedly asked you to please not use my music because it indicates that I support your agenda, you have always played my songs anyway at your gatherings, with no regards for my rights, even calling me names on twitter," while addressing the July 3-dated event in South Dakota.
