Veteran rocker characterises US administration as fascistic in song recorded at Chicago sound check
Neil Young has released a new song lambasting Donald Trump, entitled Big Crime.
The Canadian-American rocker has long been a critic of the US president, suing him (but later dropping the lawsuit) over the use of his songs at campaign rallies and calling him “the worst president in the history of our great country”.
He has stepped up that criticism in the new song, which has been posted to Young’s YouTube channel. Featuring his backing band the Chrome Hearts, it was recorded during a sound check at a concert on Chicago’s Northerly Island.
“There’s big crime in DC at the White House,” Young sings in the chorus, as a comment on Trump’s previous legal difficulties, as well as a sarcastic reference to Trump’s current crackdown on crime in Washington DC.
