Neil Young on Tuesday continued a storied American tradition of recording artists asking Republican candidates to stop playing their music after Donald Trump used Young's 1989 song, Rockin' in the Free World, three times during his presidential campaign announcement.
"Donald Trump was not authorized to use Rockin' in the Free World in his presidential candidacy announcement," a representative of Young's Lookout Management said in a statement, according to Rolling Stone. "Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for president of the United States of America."
