NEW YORK -- Donald Trump has decided to find another campaign song.

A press secretary for the real estate mogul said Wednesday that Trump would respect the wishes of Neil Young and no longer use "Rockin' In the Free World," which Trump featured Tuesday during his announcement that he was seeking the Republican Party's nomination for president.

Neil needs to rethink this. He is a used up has been musician. He needs to get his stuff played anywhere he can.

Sorry - unlike the GOP, he's not desperate enough to need Trump.

Young "needs" to do no such thing.

And how big-hearted of Trump to acknowledge Young's copyright rights. I'm real impressed.

I'm not a big fan of Trump and you're right. Trump should have acknowledged Youngs copyright rights. That doesn't change the fact that Neil Young is a washed up has been that wasn't that talented to begin with. The only thing he really ever had a talent for was avoiding an overdose. What a chump

Trump should try to get the rights to use "I am the Walrus" instead.

That's not the point - he doesn't want to have his music played at Trump's events to denote any endorsement of the Donald.

Ever notice it's usually the Republicans who get flak from musicians who don't want their music played at their events?

Nah... I would have never figured that out on my own... Have you always been this observant?

Neil Young is living legend and one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved songwriters of all time. Calling him an untalented has-been is like calling Donald Trump a credible presidential candidate people take seriously. Wholly inaccurate descriptions to say the least.
