Early Saturday morning Bernie visited the southern California home of actress & progressive Democratic activist Mimi Kennedy & her husband Larry Dilg. Larry performed Neil Young's Rockin in the Free World (the song Donald Trump tried to appropriate for his presidential campaign)
Here's Larry's rendition with a new verse and with an assist from Mimi Kennedy and Tom Hayden:
Follow me below the jump for the great new lyrics written by Larry Dilg.
Bernie Sanders was greeted by a large throng of enthusiastic supporters with a special rendition of Neil Young's "Rockin the Free World" performed and updated by singer-songwriter-teacher Larry Dilg. Accompanying Larry in the final reprise of the song are his wife, actor and activist Mimi Kennedy and political analyst and scholar Tom Hayden.
Larry Dilg updated Young's song with the following new verse:
"We got billion dollar bail-outs for Goldman Sachs.
The poor need that money.
The rich don't pay enough tax.
We got XL Pipeline and the TTP;
record breaking income inequality.
We got a man from Vermont telling folks the truth...
Go Bernie!"
Back story: On Tuesday, June 16, 2015 Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump used Neil Young’s song “Rockin in the Free World” during the announcement of his presidential candidacy. Young supports Bernie Sanders for president and issued a lengthy statement on Facebook making clear that Trump's use of Young's iconic song was not authorized by Young:
