Neil Young Sues Trump Committee for Unauthorized Use of Song at Rally
Neil Young has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the Trump 47 Committee, alleging unauthorized use of his 1989 song "Rockin' in the Free World" at a midterm rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on October 12. The suit claims Trump previously agreed in 2020 not to use the song without permission after an earlier lawsuit. Young argues the song's use implies his support for Trump, which he disputes, and seeks damages and an injunction against further use.
