Neil Young Is ‘NOT Okay With’ Trump’s Use of His Songs at Mt Rushmore Event
Neil Young has vetoed President Trump’s usage of the rock musician’s songs “Like a Hurricane,” “Rockin’ in the Free World” and “Cowgirl in the Sand” at an Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore on Friday.“This is NOT ok with me,” Young tweeted Friday.
