American-Canadian singer Neil Young on Monday joined Donald Trump’s political action committee Trump 47 Committee Inc. But a lawsuit has been filed for 10 million dollars i.e. approximately Rs 95.10 crore in Indian rupees. The lawsuit filed in the US state of Virginia alleges that the committee played Trump’s song ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ when he took the stage at a midterm election rally in Youngstown, Ohio on October 12. Young says that a license was necessary to use this song. He neither gave such a license to the committee nor expressed his desire to give it. This is Young’s second legal challenge against Trump over the unauthorized use of the same song. Young had earlier sued Trump in 2020, which was later resolved through settlement. The new lawsuit alleges that Trump started playing the song again in violation of the terms of the agreement. Neil Young’s stand regarding the song said in the lawsuit that this 1989 song shows the difference between the empty promises of American political statements and the difficult lives of the poor, homeless and forgotten people. According to the lawsuit, the lyrics of the song paint a picture of the troubles seen on the road. These include a mother abandoning her child, drug addicts lost in despair, and garbage accumulating in the shadow of prosperity. The lawsuit says the recurring chorus represents the bitter irony of celebrating a freedom that clearly hasn’t been enjoyed by all. “In short, this song is the exact opposite of everything Donald Trump represents,” the lawsuit said. It was said here that Trump knew that Young had not given such a license nor was he going to give it. Young began his career in the 1960s. Young was born on November 12, 1945 in Toronto. He gave a distinct identity to folk music, rock and country music in his career. Personal life experiences and social issues are reflected in his songs. Neil Young began his musical career in Winnipeg in the 1960s. Initially he worked with many small bands. He later reached Los Angeles in 1966. Here he formed the rock band ‘Buffalo Springfield’ with Stephen Stills. After leaving the band in 1968, Neil Young began a solo career. In 1969 he worked with the band ‘Crazy Horse’. During this time his album ‘Everybody Knows This is Nowhere’ was released. After this, albums like ‘After the Gold Rush’ (1970) and ‘Harvest’ (1972) gave him great recognition. ‘Harvest’ is considered to be his most successful album. Young also worked with the ‘Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’ supergroup. The group’s album ‘Déjà Vu’ was released in 1970 and was quite successful. His song ‘Ohio’ was written after the Kent State University shooting in 1970. Apart from music, Young also worked in films. He directed many films under the name ‘Bernard Sheki’. He received several Grammy and Juno Awards. In 1995, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. He also received this honor in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield.
