Neil Young renews attacks on Trump, calls the U.S. government ‘out of control'
Neil Young is once again taking shots at U.S. President Donald Trump , calling the American government 'out of control' and suggesting that the country is at risk of 'martial law' in a statement shared on his website this week . 'Our country and our way of life, that which our fathers and theirs fought for, is now threatened by our government,' Young declared in a post titled 'WAKE UP AMERICA,' though he did not mention any government policy in particular. 'Our government is out of control, not standing for us.' Young is set to embark on a world tour with his new band the Chrome Hearts later this month. In his post, he said that his shows will not be political, but also acknowledged the fraught political situation in the U.S. 'When I tour the USA this summer, if there is not martial law by then which would make it impossible, let's all come together and stand for American values,' Young's statement said. However, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer did appear to offer Trump an olive branch of sorts: 'President Trump, you are invited. Come and hear our music just as you did for decades,' Young wrote, making reference to the fact that the president was a self-proclaimed fan before their relationship deteriorated in recent years. Last month, Young also came to the defence of Bruce Springsteen, another rock star who has drawn the ire of Trump in recent weeks for publicly criticizing the administration. 'Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America,' Young wrote on his website on May 20 in a post titled 'TRUMP!!!' 'You worry about that instead of the dyin' kids in Gaza . That's your problem.' Young, 79, was born in Canada, but has lived south of the border for decades (he officially became a U.S. citizen in 2020 ). As an artist and an activist, Young has never shied away from politics and has thrown constant barbs at Trump since he launched his political career in the mid-2010s. In 2015, Young spoke out against Trump's use of the 1990 single 'Rockin' in the Free World,' after the song accompanied Trump's announcement of his presidential campaign. In 2020, Young sued Trump's re-election campaign for copyright infringement , saying he doesn't want his music used as a theme song for a 'divisive un-American campaign of ignorance and hate.' After Trump was elected for the first time, Young penned an open letter calling Trump a 'disgrace' and 'the worst president in the history of our great country.' Young has also been a vocal critic of Trump's tariffs targeting Canada and his threats of annexation. In April, he attended a protest against Trump's threats in Los Angeles, where he was spotted holding up a sign that read, 'HANDS OFF CANADA.' Neil Young attends a protest on April 4, 2025. Earlier this year, Young announced that he is releasing a new protest album with a newly assembled band called the Chrome Hearts, which includes guitarist Micah Nelson, bassist Corey McCormick, drummer Anthony Logerfo and organist Spooner Oldham. Titled 'Talkin to the Trees,' the album's first single is about electric cars, and takes a shot at Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk . Young and the Chrome Hearts will perform in Toronto at the Budweiser Stage on Aug. 17.

Deion Sanders' Prime Effect Grabs Limelight After He Outranks Caitlin Clark
Deion Sanders' Prime Effect Grabs Limelight After He Outranks Caitlin Clark originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's not like there's been any shortage of major sports stories lately. Caitlin Clark has taken the WNBA by storm, the NBA Finals are ramping up and college football is approaching a groundbreaking 12-team playoff. But even in the middle of all that chaos, one name found its way to the top of ESPN's homepage on Monday morning — Deion Sanders. Advertisement And Fox Sports host RJ Young believes that alone speaks volumes. 'But I really do believe that if this is not Deion Sanders, we're not talking about it,' Young said on his show "Adapt & Respond." Young said. 'When you go look for this story on a Monday morning, it led coverage on ESPN's headlines — which is a sacred space.' Deion Sanders (right) with his son Shedeur Sanders on the red carpet before Super Bowl LIX NFL Honors at Saenger Lee-Imagn Images Young explained just how rare it is for a college football story to lead the charge over professional sports — let alone one tied to offseason news. According to him, it's all the more remarkable given the competing noise from Caitlin Clark's booming WNBA presence and the NBA playoffs nearing their peak. Advertisement 'That top headline? That's everything,' Young added. 'They count reads over there. That's how you keep your job. So they're not writing about things that don't work.' In Young's view, the fact that Deion's offseason coverage catapulted to ESPN's top billing confirms what sports media knew for months now — Deion Sanders isn't just a coach. He's a cultural force. Despite competing headlines, Sanders' name continues to dominate conversations. Whether it's recruiting buzz, player development or simply a social media post from the Buffaloes' camp, the Prime effect clearly hasn't faded — and according to Young, it's still redefining what grabs attention in today's sports world.
