Neil Young wants Donald Trump to stop “worrying” about what Bruce Springsteen and “thousands” of other musicians think about him. The rock legend waded into the Trump and Springsteen beef on Monday when he posted the message to his website, per The Hollywood Reporter. The president had just called Springsteen a “dried out prune” and “highly overrated” in response to his rant that Trump was “abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.” Young wrote, “Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza... I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That’s your problem Trump. STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made.” Young put some of his latest critiques of Trump in his song and music video, “Let’s Roll Again,” where he also took aim at Elon Musk, declaring that only “fascists” get Teslas. He added to his website note to the president, “You are more worried about yourself than AMERICA. Wake up Trump!!”
