“Donald Trump’s use of “Rockin’ in the Free World” was not authorized. Mr. Young is a longtime supporter of Bernie Sanders,” Neil Young’s manager Elliot Roberts.
Like Ronald Reagan stealing BORN IN THE USA from Bruce Springsteen, Donald Trump stealing ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD from Neil Young reminds us that neither Reagan or Trump have a clue as to what the songs are about, examples of that Republican denseness that the GOP can never rise above.
As The Donald comes down his escalator to meet his employee fans Rocking in the Free World plays unnoticeable to most in the background, it was not until the 15 minute mark when Trump declares for the GOP nomination that the iconic guitar riff hits us between the eyes. But instead of it being his queue to walk off stage with his family in victory, he waves the volume down and drones on and on for another 32 painful minutes on how stupid everyone but Donald Trump is. PROJECTION at it’s worst. Or is that best?
I do think it worth your while to watch the entire video of The Donald throwing his hair in the ring for a 2016 run for President so you can decide for yourself whether this is a stand up satire routine or the real thing. Or is it something new, something in between? This being perhaps the most important speech of his life we find once thing for sure, it so full up with so many silly ass non sequiturs and stupid ramblings there is no doubt he wrote it himself without any help.
The Donald Trump theme for president comes to us in a trinity:
1) ONLY DONALD TRUMP CAN MAKE AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN.
2) We have lots and lots of enemies, in fact the entire world is our enemy with China, Mexico, Iran, Russia and Japan leading the pack. Did I mention China? Well at least Donald wants a war with an important country that for once has nothing to do with Israel.
3) Everyone in politics is stupid except Donald Trump who is so very much smarter, richer, successful and more wonderful than everyone else in the world, including YOU.
As I watched it live thinking of how Donald Trump has now successfully managed to make the GOP primary stage even more of a clown event than before, I do worry that he has made Ben Carson seem a well grounded genius. Ben Carson who once again leads the cracker, trailer trash, Republican polls.
And again, thank you Jerry Seinfeld for giving Republicans their gleeful win over political correctness once and for all. Hear! Here! The freedom and liberty to let the world know what snake handling Christian peckerwoods and hillbilly Palin family retards the GOP represent.
Rock and roll is just so much friggin fun doanyaknow…
Rockin’ In The Free World by Neil Young – Was a 1989 response to George Walker Bush getting elected president.
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.
