Donald Trump hearts Neil Young :(

Trumpneilyoung_l Here is what a dude told Rolling Stone about Neil Young today: "He’s got something very special….His voice is perfect and haunting." TRUE! He has, and it is. Unfortunately, the dude who made these observations was Donald !%^&in’ Trump. I’ll be honest: I really love Neil Young’s music, but knowing that this pompous schmuck also enjoys it sorta makes me want to never listen to a Neil Young CD ever again. And I’m scared: Given the Donald’s penchant for buying cool stuff with his inherited moneys and slapping his name all over it, how long do we even have before stores start exclusively stocking, like, Donald Trump’s After the Gold Rush (pictured)? (Or maybe that should be After the Gold Rug?)

Okay, sorry, just had to get that out. Somehow I’ll have to find a way to keep listening to my favorite Neil Young albums without thinking of The Donald. While I work on that, help me out here: Have any of you been turned off of a musician, movie, or TV show after learning you share your fandom with an unfortunate celeb such as this? Did you ever get over it? I need to know.

More on Neil Young and Donald Trump:
NY’s Harvest made it onto EW’s 100 New Music Classics
He sat for a Sundance ’08 portrait with his buddies C, S, and N
His most recent release got a B+ review from EW
Trump made Mandi die inside with his Steaks. (Hasn’t this man done enough?)
PopWatch called it in ’07: The Donald is cray-zee.

    Pretentious much? Good music is good music, no matter who likes it or doesn’t. Maybe this should be a point for the Donald, rather than against Mr. Young.

    Is there a reason EW still refers to albums as CDs? We’re out of the 90s.

    It is pretty shocking that Trump likes Neil Young, as Trump seems to celebrate everything that’s tasteless and crass.

  • to Simon, etc.

    You are a moron. It makes you not want to like Neil Young. What a totally ridiculous statement. You have an IQ of a turd. BTW,I like Neil so I guess you must never listen to him again. Your comment really makes you look bad. No joke. Also, you need to be more informed. The Donald was able to make some of his $ on his own. Jealous much.

    Hey – you never heard of hyperbole? And you didn’t think twice about Mamma Mia when you heard that ABBA was John McCain’s fave group? I have faith that Simon is not really giving up on Neil Young, but I know I have to try to get the image of the Donald groovin’ to “Old Man” outta my head now. (And as for Neil, there was that Reagan thing…)

    Yeah, it always bums me out a lil when I find out that a bunch of d**chebag lawyers are into, like, radiohead. but, oh well.
    chin up, man, to be yourself is the best that you can beeeee.

    I know my kids hate it when I like certain songs that they consider “theirs.” And I understand that.
    Reconsidering whether I like Neil Young based on Trump’s likes or dislikes is ridiculous.
    It’s kind of like when somebody decides to change their mind about an artist because of that artist’s politics. I think Natalie Maines is an idiot, but I can still enjoy Dixie Chicks songs. And I know many people who might not echo Tim Robbins’ politics, but do not let that interfere with their appreciation of his work in “Shawshank.”
