>Neil Young knows he can't legally stop President Trump from playing his song "Rockin' in the Free World" at rallies, but he reiterated on Tuesday (Nov. 6) that he really wishes the president would cut it out. "DT does not have my permission to use the song 'Rockin' in the Free World' at his appearances," Young wrote on Election Day on his Archives website. "Legally, he has the right to, however, it goes against my wishes."
>Does Trump really have no respect for anyone? Why would he? He's riddled with affluenza.
Owen Thompson
at least trump is trying to do something to make the "free" world better (be it right or wrong). what the fuck do washed up rockers do for the free world? they cash in on their fame making plastic garbage merchandise. do you think neil young actusally gives has any respect for anyone?
Liam Bennett
I thought Neil was one of the few musicians that let Trump play his songs.
Eli Murphy
Why doesn't Trump just play Kid Rock and Ted Nugent songs?
Xavier Adams
Trump doesn't need your permission, because we're rockin in a free world.
Jackson Myers
Neil Young rules even if he is a hippie
Kevin Myers
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A president don't need him around anyhow
Robert Sanchez
More foreskins for israel will make the world a free and beautiful place
Jacob Jones
A shame really. I like Neil Young.
Isaiah Fisher
Fuck Neil Young, play his gay music if you want, the more it pisses him off the better.
(((Memeflag))) >Does Trump really have no respect for anyone? No, not really. But then, they have no respect for him, so it works out.
Logan Wood
>can't even fucking spell principal somehow i'm not surprised
Lucas Jones
Trump should just play pantera and be done with it
Andrew Hughes
Dont need that faggot around any how
Dylan Morales
Does no one realize that rock in in the free world takes a giant shit on Reagan and Bush era policies. I mean I'm fine with Trump using it if he realizes this but if it is used as an American pride song it is retarded. It specifically calls put the homeless problem and issues like children born to junkies left behind dumpsters.
Has anyone read the lyrics or do they just know the chorus?
Austin Hall
What is Trump doing to make the 'free world' better? Breaking every promise he made to the voters?
Sebastian Price
Haha
>N-no, it's not a free world anymore... s-stop rocking in it!
Ayden Adams
>"Legally, he has the right to, however, it goes against my wishes." This faggot should have stuck to music and retired when he was ahead, now he has to go back
Hudson Bennett
NEW POL IS UP >NEW POL IS UP

Ninnies at Drumph rallies don't understand that, it's similar to when 'Born in the USA' got played by Bush if you recall, they all thought it was some 'murica fuck yeah' thing rather than talking about serious problems.
Eli Morales
He was one of the few that wouldn't raise a stink because he knew he has no lethal grounds and it's anti free speech, now he's just a faggot like the rest of them
Jaxon Baker
I used to think he was pretty cool, and actually wanted him as our PM but now over the years I come to believe he is a SJW lefty. Like most (((stars)))
Ian Perez
Pretty sure it's why Trump picked the song...do you think his he or his PR people don't think about this?
Kayden Diaz
Can't have all that Nationalism
Ayden Morris
Reeee trump uses my songs and I’m upset, but I won’t mention I allowed a company to put my songs in a catalog that sells the rights to use my songs so I can get paid
Dominic Rodriguez
>It specifically calls put the homeless problem and issues like children born to junkies left behind dumpsters. You mean, issues trump is trying to address?
Nathan Anderson
That's the pisser about Art. When you put it out there, people can interpret it any way they want. That's why I am not now nor ever will be an artist.
Brandon Cooper
It isn't 'anti free speech' to ask someone not to play a song. You can ask people anything you want and they can reply however they want too. He isn't forcing him to not play it, he's saying he'd rather he didn't.
Easton Roberts
Stop posting about your fat cheeto kikelord, it's ruining this board
Which means he's being a whiny faggot about something he's already sold the rights toI.e., he'd like it if trump didn't have the principles of free speech to use the song despite paying for it.
Christian Nelson
You need to be a massive pleb who can only remember a couple of words in a chorus to think 'rockin' in the free world' is some patriotic USA USA song. It's pretty blatently critical of social problems in America (maybe more relevant today than it was when it was written)
Dominic Carter
>I hate Trump he is a jewish agent in the kabuki save the regime bullshit >That being said...Neil Young Deserves To DIE
I love Neil Young. But all he can do is say he doesn't approve. He should really even give a shit to be honest. Also, man, stay out of politics or maybe someone will dig up WTF you and Buffalo Springfield did to get propelled to national fame. Most people still don't know shit about Laurel Canyon, Neil. Most people don't know much about your connections with Charles Manson. So maybe keep it shut unless you want to explain some of that shit.
Jacob Powell
no body gives a shit what Neil Young wishes, if Trump's DJ has paid licensing fee. I don't want nigger music appearing on my TV, it is MY TV, I PAID FOR IT, I should be able to say what can be broadcasted to it and what cannot.
Besides that, if Trump only plays 30 second sample of anyone's song, then they cannot demand anything since it's in public domain and is permitted by law without any fees
Wyatt Sullivan
>person x SLAMS Trump >Trump does x thing. Here's why that's wrong. >watch this brave transwoman DESTROY Trump with adlib slam poetry
Carter Howard
shouldn't have sold your soul to capital records, faggot.
Grayson Ramirez
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning just find someone who's turning and you will come around Trump fanatics.
Jordan Torres
>directly references the names of bush policy thousand points of light >more relevant now Show flag, Neil, we know you're Ontario posting.
Caleb Smith
How would he 'like it' if Trump didn't have the freedom to play it? He's saying he would like Trump to respect his wishes, not force him at gunpoint to stop playing it.
Trump can do whatever he wants in response of course and Neil (and everyone else) is free to think he's right or wrong depending on their viewpoint.
Jaxson Bennett
Frank zappa did, and that's why they gave him the dick cancer
Bentley Russell
>it goes against my wishes Get used to it, bitch
Jason Carter
Given we have basically a flashy version of Bush in the white house again I'd say it makes sense.
Anthony Moore
Trump curse locked and loaded.
John Brown
So, if you ask nicely to enforce your anti freedom stance, it's okay? He has sold the distribution rights in order to make money, he waived any right to bitch about who licenses the song that moment. This is no different than vidya companies that issue crease and desist orders on single player mods.
Caleb James
There's a warning sign on the road ahead a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead, don't feel like satan but I am to them so I try to forget it any way I can.
Andrew Turner
Seriously, Neil, show fucking flag. Unlike you, I've helped feed and house homeless men, not a single one I've met yet has said they voted for anyone but Trump and none have been disatiafied. In fact, they've noted marked easier access to social programs because a shit load of illegals self deported in November, 2016.
Nolan Rogers
You have the right to 'ask' someone whatever you want, that too falls under freedom of speech. No one has to abide by it though.
Adam Russell
>hurr durr, why would trump use this song, he must not know the lyrics!
Cameron Anderson
He's lived in the US since before you were born, bucko. Neil lives where he wants to live. He is still a legend, music-wise.
Nathan Martinez
Well thanks to the kikes who run the music insustry you dont own any of your music, Neil. Ironic isnt it?
Caleb Brooks
Right, but he's asking for something he receives payment for to stop. He has no right of control of it, i.e., he's a whining fucking faggot who wants to have cake, and eat it.
Jordan Martin
>Being this braindead Write the songs for your Jewish overlords faggot
Brandon Thompson
You have no idea what my age is, leaf. I've probably been listening to Neil Young and going to his shows since before YOU were born
Jacob Scott
>0.05 has been deposited into your account
Nicholas Butler
>I don't know that songs take on new meanings under certain contexts user I...
Nathan Hughes
Maybe the record company has the rights, that song was released a long time ago.
Leo Powell
indeed he must. He is a genius right?
Henry Bailey
Of course they do and it's really lame in this case. It's a pretty blunt song lyrically speaking, you need to be ignoring the words entirely (other than the chorus) to think it's a 'murica fuck yeah' song
Oliver Barnes
They had them when it was recorded in the first place, he subsequently agreed to keep it in a licensing catalog. He receives payment every time it's used, which is exactly why his complaint is that he doesn't like it, and that he has no legal grounds to stop it.
John Martin
I doubt he cares about the money he's getting from that as such, it's the principle of it.
Nathaniel Adams
You honestly don't see how that verse portion fits how some view trump?
Liam Kelly
huh? but I do
Samuel Gutierrez
Don't blame Neil. All boomers are retarded, knee-jerk jellyfish. They have no idea what's actually at stake.
I've yet to meet anyone with wealth, claimed hippie or not, that's doesn't care about their bank account. If he was so righteous about his own lyrics, he'd have given it all to the very social programs he claims are broken, or worked politically to fix them long ago.
Logan Roberts
Not gonna lie, used to be a big fan, but Neil's gone off the deep end. Can't hardly stand to listen anymore. That Cortez the Killer, tho.
Austin Sanchez
What about farm aid?
Jaxson Baker
Powderfinger is better, and less full of shit about history.
Sebastian Ramirez
Because Ted Nugent is a draft dodging pedophile. >daily reminder
Liam Carter
Underrated
Parker Scott
Okay, my apologies 48 yr old oldfag.
Nicholas Smith
You think the players at farm aid truly took zero cut? You think moving the goalposts of my suggestion he should have made himself as pauperish as those he claims he fights for disappeared? This is why a guy like zappa could speak about politics and not be a cunt even if you disagreed with him. He fully admitted he was in it for the money and wouldn't license his music to anyone he didn't want playing it. He certainly made far less than any faux folk singers of the same era, how shocking, a musician who had principles and stuck to them!
Levi Clark
Until he got kicked out of broken arrow for fucking that horse faced mermaid chick while his wife was home taking care of the kids with cerebral palsy
Zachary Perry
I don't think someone needs to make themselves poor in order to discuss social problems affecting the poor. Trump talked about a lot of real problems in the campaign which affect the poor too. It's a bit like saying that if someone makes money then they don't have a right to talk about anything.
Especially if the point being made is that 'the entire system is fucked up and needs changing'.
Luke Martin
Shitty behaviour, yes. Still a legend of rock.
Easton Baker
>I don't think someone needs to make themselves poor in order to discuss social problems affecting the poor I never said this, are you illiterate, or a pilpul practitioner? You see no hypocrisy in whining about who licenses his music when he willfully lets it be licensed for top dollar? He's as bad as Dylan in that regard.
Isaac Murphy
Agreed, but it hurts to hear him sing those songs I've loved for over 40 years. Earliest song I remember was as a toddler hearing BuffSpgd "Burned" on my neighbors big sisters HiFi. It was a new record at that time.
Jeremiah Lewis
Well, by asking for it not to be used he's effectively saying he'd be happy to not get that cut of the money in this specific case.
James Clark
Lol shut up you faggy has-been salt bucket and prepare to be purged
Elijah Morris
Yet he didn't have the foresight to retain distribution rights when he's certainly wealthy enough to have repurchased them many times over and controlled it any way he wants. Instead, he chose the route that keeps the royalties coming every time I hear it on the radio too.
Kevin Cook
Imagine being a sell out but still wanting control over your art. Imagine being this fucking stupid. Boomers, my god.
Noah Lee
Neil Young has always been a whiny bitch
Even Lynard Skynard slammed him.
Luis Wright
Remember that shit "pono" device he was selling? The way some big bands were saying it would "revolutionize" sound and at the end it was nothing special redpilled me on that celebrities and musicians are full of shit
Christopher Carter
Stanley Kubrick put a green Beetle in The Shining and showed it crushed under a semi-truck accident. This was to show that he had 'crushed' Stephen King's 'vehicle'.
In the same way, we are appropriating the creations of Communists like Niel Young (and who gives a fuck about his opinion he's a rich old Artist who doens't know the price of milk), and re-making it in our image.
Fucking glorious timeline
Have a reddit space and go the fuck back, cocksucker.
His style is literally whine. He made the 'Weak Voice' popular which eventually killed Rock in the 1990s.
Michael Fisher
Nobody cares about your wishes you old faggot
Josiah Walker
"Stop rocking in the freeworld" -Neil Young
Dylan Green
Yeah, he also stole the "biggest piece of shit in Crosby, Stills and Nash" from David Crosby when he joined the band. Guy's a douchebag and always has been.
