Oh shit! If Neil was dead, he'd be spinning in his grave. I actually couldn't tell if that was from the rally, or if this garbage streaming station put it in there to end their coverage. If that was being cranked at the rally, he should raise hell about it. In any case, can you think of a more inappropriate song for anything Trump has to do with?
I only watch that when Trump has a rally because it's the only source I can find on my TV.

(38,502 posts)1. Trump knows not what he does...
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
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.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

(26,044 posts)4. Neil's politics have been all over the place...
Sure, I suspect he's no fan of Trump today, but he was an absolutely rabid Reaganoid in the early 1980s, to the point of claiming Democrats were "un-American."

Ironically, Young, 74, criticized Trumps leadership of the U.S. in a lyrical rewrite of his 2006 track Lookin for a Leader during one of his front porch performances released just two days before the Rushmore event. Young also expressed support 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Trump team seemed to be major trolling with music picks tonight
Coming to America Neil Diamond the worst
