Senator Bernie Sanders ~ A Presedential Candidate For The People

 

The video that was here had an autoplay problem, All of the videos on this blog were playing simultanously. I am trying to fix the problem...G%  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now this is what I'm talking about. People who have been around the block that are getting it right. Politicians and musicians. What a great combination and how cool is it to be free of hearing the cacophony of the corporate mouth pieces with their irritating repetition of political cliches like moving forward, on the table, at the end of the day, reaching across the aisle, & obamacare. but I digress, ...woops another one...G%

The Donald loses his campaign soundtrack to a hippie from Vermont

  Consequence Of Sound

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign kicked off like the joke that it is. The billionaire reality TV mogul came out in front of a crowd of partially paid supporters to Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” (and while riding down on an escalator, no less). Beyond the fact that the song is actually a critique of Republican George H. W. Bush’s presidency and the social policies that lead to income inequality, Trump’s use of the song was inappropriate because Young never gave him permission. Young said in a statement that Trump “was not authorized to use ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ in his presidential candidacy announcement.” The statement added that, “Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States of America.” Trump’s camp claimed they paid both ASCAP and BMI for rights to the song, but would cease from using it out of respect to Young. The singer, meanwhile, out of respect to his own political beliefs, has turned around and given Trump’s opponent Sanders permission to use “Rockin’ in the Free World”. Sanders, the Democratic candidate from Vermont, walked out to the track at a rally in Denver attended by an overflow audience of 4,500 people. Folks were reportedly standing in the atrium and lacrosse fields outside the auditorium to hear Sanders speak; as far as we know, none of them were paid to be there.
