It's odd because they all seem to hate Trump. I'm surprised there hasn't been a cease and desist.
Talk about mangled syntax...you must be taking grammar lessons from Sarah Palin.Quote

Hillary's song would have to include words like "evil" (Evil Woman); destructive,; liar (Lying Eyes); Accessory (See Bengazi; Money (Wall street); Phony (See what her son in law does); Cheater (See husband)

And before the mods delete this, this is not meant to be political, just curious.

keefriff99You think that was an accident on Trump's part?Quote

CNN did a segment yesterday with the writer of The Sun, the Moon, and The Rolling Stones. This focused on how many times politicians use songs and don't realize what the lyrics are saying on the songs. Like Trump playing Brown Sugar before a press conference "the song is about slavery and heroine." Classic.
Whipping black women for sport is right up his constituents' alley.

Not me...I'd rather look at remedies for under eye bags than read about Trump, or anything to do with the election right now.

Is it working latebloomer? Try as I might, I can't seem to avoid the 2016 Election Farce Hoopla. I'm seriously thinking of having a T-Shirt made that reads something along the lines of: "If you insist on talking politics, I'M VOTING YOU OFF MY ISLAND!"
Peace,

Rolling Stones ask Trump to stop using their songs at campaign events
Band released a statement asking the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to ‘cease all use immediately’ after Trump played two of their songs.
The rock band said they have not given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs.
The Rolling Stones have asked presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to stop playing their songs at his campaign events.
In a statement Wednesday, the rock band said they have not given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and “have requested that they cease all use immediately”.
A Trump campaign spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment or say whether they had a license to play their songs.
Trump, an avid music fan, has featured Rolling Stones songs at his rallies for months as part of a diverse soundtrack that includes Elton John, opera and classic rock songs. The Rolling Stones’ 1969 classic You Can’t Always Get What You Want was a popular song for his events, and during an event on Tuesday night, the campaign played Start Me Up.
Adele and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler both asked the candidate to stop using their recorded songs to fire up crowds. Neil Young also objected when the real estate mogul used Rockin’ in the Free World during his campaign kickoff announcement last year. In those cases, the Trump campaign stopped using the songs.
Political campaigns don’t need artists’ permission to play their songs at rallies as long as the political organization or the venue has gotten what’s known as a blanket license from the performing rights organizations Ascap and BMI for all the music in the licensing group’s repertoire.
But artists do have some recourse. BMI, for example, has said it has a provision in its license agreement that allows BMI songwriters or publishers to object to the use of their songs and they have the ability to exclude those songs from the blanket license.
