Yeah, but Saucerful is fundamentally better due to the presence of Syd. WYWH is overblown pomp-rock.

Neil Young didn't write "Rockin' in the Free World" in support of Donald Trump though. Trump used it for his campaign without Neil Young's permission.
I saw Young in concert in Leeds four years ago, and when he introduced that song he began it with a very loud "f*** you Donald Trump!!"
He's currently suing Trump's campaign for the unlicensed use of his songs. From the case: "The [Trump] campaign has willfully ignored Young's requests to stop playing his songs despite knowing that a license is necessary.", "This complaint is not intended to disrespect the rights and opinions of American citizens, who are free to support the candidate of their choosing. However, Plaintiff in good conscience cannot allow his music to be used as a 'theme song' for a divisive, un-American campaign of ignorance and hate."
Besides, Rocking in the Free World was written over 30 years ago.
Bill I think Flem might have been being ironic / sarcastic
The guy is an oncologist. Learned fella obviously but he treats people with cancer. He’s not a politician. He’s not an economist. He’s not a virologist. Why are the hipsters chatting with him?
He’s a dry one is Flem
I always found Flem moist.....
