Also, what other times has he voiced his opinion politically. It seems like the new song is the most politically charged one yet and is reflective of his time in the States. Another song that comes to mind is Chocolate Cake.

Does it really? I guess it didn't pull me in like usual.

Neil was often pretty outspoken on Twitter. Maybe that’s one of his reasons for leaving the site.
I admire his willingness to speak up about issues that matter to him.
We desperately need artists who refuse to toe the safe (corporate) line.
Agreed. And I did look back on his Twitter by googling “Neil Finn Trump” and he had strong comments dating back to 2015. One saying a little thing about White Christmas.
Neil has never said Whatever You Want is about Trump . He in fact gave an explanation that was quite different. Have to say though the first time I heard the song thats who I though it was about
Neil won’t outright say it of course, but again, no doubt it is about him. Again, artists try to be mysterious about who songs are about, mostly in effort to resonate with more people, but some songs are so obvious they are about real people or situations. Another one would be Mean To Me
MEAN TO ME IS ABOUT TRUMP?
Wow I mean I never knew who the actual person was, but I assumed it was a woman. Didn't realize "The Donald" was a big CH fan from way back! "Yeah, I moved on him like a beach but I couldn't get there. And he was married. Later he saw me lying in the arms of a poet" AAAAAAAA
I apologize for this heinous and blatant misreading of what was a perfectly fair, clear post by rezno.
No, I never said Mean to Mean was about Trump...obviously. I said it’s another example of a song about a real life person that directly resulted in a song.
