There was a time, long ago, when rocker Neil Young voiced support for Ronald Reagan.
Now he’s all in for Kamala Harris for president. On his website he calls Harris an “honest and forthright truth teller.”
Just a few weeks ago, Young gave Harris’s running mate permission to use his song, “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
It is true he once supported Reagan. He told MTV in 1990: “I was one of those who felt that some ideas he had were good ideas. He had one point that he was stressing in the first six months of his job that he thought the people in the communities and neighborhoods should pull together and try to do things on their own more than depending on government to do it for them.”
Young eventually became a sharp critic of George W. Bush, however. In 2006, he released a record called “Let’s Impeach the President.”
But times have changed, and Young — who’s been political for 50 years — has urged his fans to vote for Harris.
