Uh oh, looks like the Left's new hero has some 'splaining to do

quote:

“In an interview with Melody Maker in 1985, Neil Young backed Reagan’s gun control policies and said of AIDS, ‘You go to a supermarket and you see a f**got behind the f*ckin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes,” Young said

The Left has dubbed him bullet proof due to his Covidian stance.

still blaming it on rt wing politics when fricking Obama and Biden told the whole world marriage is between a man and a woman.


quote:

“Needless to say, Young almost certainly regrets that horrific statement and quickly moved away from right-wing politics,” Rolling Stone added. “He wrote the furious anti-George H.W. Bush screed ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ in 1989 and was one of George W. Bush’s most vocal critics in the 2000s.”




quote:

The track was used in Donald Trump's announcement that he will run as a Republican candidate for the 2016 presidency. Young, a longtime supporter of Bernie Sanders, said that the mogul was not authorized to use the song.

Trump's campaign responded by saying it did pay to use Neil Young's tune at the presidential announcement, but won't use Young's music at any future events. "Through a licensing agreement with ASCAP, Mr. Trump's campaign paid for and obtained the legal right to use Neil Young's recording of 'Rockin' In The Free World,'" the statement read. "Nevertheless, there are plenty of other songs to choose from. Despite Neil's differing political views, Mr. Trump likes him very much."

Trump later hit back, posting a photo of him and Young shaking hands, and explaining that Young asked him for financing on an audio deal and invited Trump to a concert. In a Tweet, Trump called Young a "total hypocrite," adding, "'Rockin' In The Free World' was just one of 10 songs used as background music.


Lol begged ole trump for money.

just so I understand... young was a right winger in 1985. 15 years after releasing Southern Man?

Guaranteed crickets from the woke left.


FYI, a lot of people felt like this in 1985 about AIDS. People were terrified of if in the early years, but none of us acted like batshit crazy fools like everyone does with COVID.

As far as the whole Rogan/Spotify/Young shite show, There should be equal, fair commentary on these subjects.

But that's not what the woke leftist are really asking for here or in any other similar situation. Is it?

Sounds like an ‘85 Biden quote.
