Neil Young Slams Trump in Fiery Protest Anthem “Big Crime”

    

                                            Neil Young and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Legendary Canadian-American rocker Neil Young has reignited his long-running feud with Donald Trump, debuting a blistering new protest song titled Big Crime during a Chicago concert with his band, The Chrome Hearts. The track takes direct aim at the Trump administration’s recent federal takeover of Washington, D.C.’s policing, a move that saw National Guard troops and federal agents deployed to the streets.

In the chorus, Young pointedly sings, “There’s big crime in D.C. at the White House”, alongside lines rejecting “fascist rules” and “fascist schools.” He also flips Trump’s famous campaign slogan with the refrain, “No more great again”.

The song’s release follows years of public clashes between Young and Trump, including disputes over the unauthorized use of Young’s music at campaign rallies and repeated criticisms of the former president’s policies. Young posted the full lyrics and a soundcheck recording on his Neil Young Archives site, ensuring the message reached far beyond the Chicago crowd.

Big Crime joins a long list of politically charged songs in Young’s career, from his Vietnam-era anthem Ohio to recent tracks targeting billionaires and authoritarianism. Judging by the reception, this latest entry shows the 79-year-old artist has no intention of softening his voice against power.
