...Donald Trump’s presidential campaign kicked off...in front of a crowd (that included) paid supporters to Neil Young’s Rockin’ in the Free World...Beyond the fact that the song is actually a critique of Republican...social policies...Young never gave him permission...

Trump’s camp claimed they paid both ASCAP and BMI for rights to the song...Young said in a statement that Trump was not authorized...“Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States of America.”

Sanders...walked out to the track at a rally in Denver (Colorado) attended by an overflow audience of 4,500 people...(A)s far as we know, none of them were paid to be there...
