Description

In this episode of Listen to This, host Eric Leckey takes a deep dive into the songs that have become staples at political rallies. From Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." to Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World," Leckey explores how these tracks, often misunderstood or reinterpreted, have been adopted by political campaigns to fire up crowds. With a mix of rock anthems and pop hits, he unpacks the stories behind the artists' reactions to their songs being used in political contexts and how music continues to play a powerful role in shaping public movements. Tune in for an eye-opening look at the intersection of music and politics.
