Neil Young granted permission for the Harris-Walz campaign to use his iconic song 'Rockin’ in the Free World' as Tim Walz exited the stage in Chicago on Wednesday night. A campaign official confirmed this decision, highlighting the personal involvement of the legendary musician in allowing the use of his music.
It was revealed that Tim Walz personally selected the song for this significant moment, as it holds a special place as one of his favorites. The song was played after Walz's speech, during which he symbolically accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination.
