Once again, another Republican candidate getting called out for misuse of intellectual property. Once again they didn't listen to the words or the intent of the song. Who is it this time? None other than blow hard Donald Trump. Called out for using Neil Young's "Rockin in the Free World" without permission. Of course this isn't surprising that Donald Trump would do something like this. This simple action basically says it all. Not only is either he or the person who handles him so ignorant as to not be able to get past the title of the song and the power of the music to actually dig into the lyrics and understand that ... um... it's ... you know - Irony. Nah, don't bother looking into that. But as well, don't look into who the artist is himself and realize that he is the absolute opposite of what you represent or want to represent and that he is just about guaranteed to come out and smack you for using his music. This isn't a case of using the tune from some apolitical musician, this is grabbing a track from an intelligent activist musician from the absolute opposite side of the spectrum.
For me Trump is just a comedy act and I have a really hard time taking him seriously - even given the idea that some people actually support him so something like this almost isn't worth spending pixels over but on the other hand it's just so representative of the party and not just the person. Anyhow, here's a link to Mother Jones with the story. http://www.motherjones.com/...
