How does the man who wrote “Rockin’ in the Free World” feel about the putative leader of the free world? There hasn’t been much doubt about that, as Neil Young has made head…
But in case there was any doubt, he’s written a hurricane-level fusillade taking Trump on. Or rewritten one, as his new “Lookin’ for a Leader 2020” is a revised version of a song he originally wrote in 2006 for his “Living With War” album, now updated with references to “building walls,” Black Lives Matter, and “hidin’ in his bunker.”
The Trump-ified version of the George W. Bush-era track originally appeared in the middle of a full “Fireside Sessions” acoustic show that Young posted on his Neil Young Archives website, but he’s now broken it out for individual viewing and listening. You can eitherYoung emphasizes in the lyrics that it’s not enough for Trump to be defeated — he has to be defeated in a landslide, to make the results unambiguous.
The rewrite happened recently enough to incorporate lyrics about Trump going underground at the White House during recent protests — a matter that came up again this week in congressional hearings with attorney general William Barr, who seemed to confirm that the president’s bunker visit was not just a routine inspection, as Trump at one point claimed. “Scared of his own shadow, building walls around our house / He’s hidin’ in his bunker, something else to lie about,” Young sings.
Last week, Young wrote, “I am changing my mind about suing President Trump. Reconsidering. I’m looking at it again. There is a long history to consider and I originally considered it, deciding not to pursue. But then President Trump ordered thugs in uniform onto our streets. His idea. He ordered it himself. This all DJT…. Trump has no respect for our military.
