When Donald Trump announced his presidential candidacy at the Trump Tower on Tuesday morning, he took the stage to the tune of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World."
The problem: Young is objecting to Trump's use of his 1989 work. In fact, Young is endorsing a candidate on the other side of the political spectrum, Bernie Sanders.
"Donald Trump was not authorized to use 'Rockin' In The Free World' in his presidential candidacy announcement," said a statement from Young's manager, Elliot Roberts of Lookout Management. "Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States Of America."
But Trump's campaign says they did secure authorization.

Neil Young is a rich socialist. Come on Neil, open up your mansions for the poor. and let the gov take 90% of your wealth and earning. You first.
Neil Young is a Canadian. Who cares what he thinks?
The reason some rich are down with socialism is that they expect they will still be rich but without the guilt, and they are probably right. They expect the costs will be handled by all the other rich people who, unlike themselves, don't deserve to be rich. They don't value wealth as much, because for them it came too easy, and too fast to have an appreciation for the struggle others have to weather to get there, often over generations. They simply don't know any better. How often do one of these rich socialists volunteer to give it all away and join the proletariat despite the fact that they might be able to singlehandedly raise numerous people out of poverty. It's Fen's Law, 24/7.
