Neil Young, grand daddy of grunge, kumpitensya ni Bob Dylan, mihimo sa mga kantang “Heart of Gold,” “Like A Hurricane” ug mi-cover sa “Four Strong Winds.” Nasakop kadiyut sa CSNY ug leader sa Crazy Horse nga banda. Nakadaug usab ug award isip inventor sa mga duwaan para sa mga bata nga may cerebral palsy kay duha man sa iyang mga anak aduna man niani.

Donald Trump, Bilyonariong playboy, real estate developer, reality TV personality, tag-iya sa Miss Universe beauty pageant, Republican ug buot magpapili pagka presidente sa 2016 US presidential elections.

Ang ilang conflict: Gigamit ni Trump ang kanta ni Neil Young nga “Rockin’ In The Free World” sa iyang pag announce sa iyang kandidatora sa way pupananghid. Kon Mahinumduman, nasuko usab niadto si Bruce Springsteen dihang gigamit nga way pananghid sa kampo ni Ronald Reagan ang iyang “Born In The USA.” Sa ato, wa usab mauyon si Rico Blanco sa pag gamit sa kampanya ni Gibo

Teodoro sa iyang kanta nga “Posible.” Hinuon sa Sugbo patak man lag pamunit og kanta ang mga politiko og kanta. Dihay higayon nga daghan kaayo ang nigamit sa Korean hit nga “Nobody.”

Gihimo ni Neil Young ang kanta isip critique sa gobyerno ni George W Bush apan gigamit usab kini sa ubang mga pundok isip pagsaulog sa pagkatumpag sa mga communist regimes sa Europe. Ania ang maong kanta.

Rockin In The Free World
There’s colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin’ their feet
People sleepin’ in their shoes
But there’s a warnin’ sign on the road ahead
There’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d be better off dead
Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can

(CHORUS: Keep on rockin’ in the free world (4x))
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Repeat CHORUS
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Repeat CHORUS
