'I'm not scared of you': Neil Young joins Bruce Springsteen's feud with Donald Trump

By Sarah K. Burris
Published May 20, 2025 3:25 PM ET

Rockstar Neil Young joined the list of celebrities attacking President Donald Trump publicly.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote Tuesday that the singer-songwriter came to the defense of Bruce Springsteen, who bashed Trump at two concerts in the UK over the past week.

“Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America," Young said in a message to Trump on his website late Monday. "You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza? That’s your problem. 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."

And probably nicer than he needed to be.

I hope to see more public figures speaking out. We are not living in normal times.

I have been a fan for many years. I admire his courage defending his friend.

More should use their platforms to speak out in service of what’s right and the common good.

The "I am not scared of you" is exactly what needs to be said to a bully like Trump! More people need to start saying those words.

Fixed it for you, Neil


Oh, I'm a musician too, or once was, but that has nothing to do with it...

(except that musicians may be more intelligent than your average maggot)
