So much winning

The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.

You can add Jack White and the White Stripes to this.

Even... Lynyrd Skynyrd is on the list?

Does someone have context on that entry? Not that I'm complaining - because I'm not.

Had to look them up to make sure I wasn't talking up my ass, but using RATM, who apparently used anti-authoritarian and revolutionary lyrics, for a rally for someone looking to be a dictator is very ironic.

Did Prince come back from the dead?

So, just Kid Rock then?

Why doesn't he just use music from his buddies Kid Rock and Ted Nugent for everything?

No one gives a shit about Kid Rock anymore but he sure thinks they do, and The Nuge is an admitted child molester who literally shit his pants to dodge the draft... Sounds perfect for the modern GOP lol

Using Rage Against the Machine was just stupid. I'm guessing they never listened to any of the words and just went for a beat. Even then it doesn't feel like a beat for old white folks in their 70s and Uncle Toms.

So... Based on #1 and #17, Prince came back from the dead to tell Trump to stop using his music, and then dropped dead again? Do I have that right?

Edit: oh, also David The God of Rock Bowie, and Kenny Rogers.

You know you are really hated when Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon agree on something.

Would be nice to see a list of the specific songs that got the takedown issued and the date.

Mostly I'm just curious about Nickelback. In what political context are we using "Photograph"?

Ha ha. 15. Rage Against The Machine. Having visions of Trump arriving at the podium along with Killing In The Name

"I am Lorde. Ya ya ya."

I'm sure Mike Love of the Beach Boys didn't mind Trump using their music. He's a massive conservative douchebag.

Jack White too

Oh shit! David Bowie, Prince, and Kenny Rogers are alive!

They should release an album, "NOW That's What I Call Never Trump", but a better title.

TIL Lorde wasn't made up by South Park.

Zombie Prince! 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️

He would listen to Nickelback.

Everytime I see an article about an artist that ordered a cease and desist, all the sudden music experts come out of the woodwork. "BuT THeY pAID fOr aLl thE RiGHTs aNd caN Do whatEver ThEY WAnt with IT"

It usually ends with "what a washed up performer anyways".

Go back to your Kid Rock.

I enjoy that the list starts with "Prince" and ends with "Lorde", nice symmetry

Michael Jackson isn't on the list. I wonder why...

It would be great if someone rickrolled Trump at one of his rallies just so Rick Astley could join that list.

Even renowned asshole Katy Perry doesn't approve

Nickelback? 😂

That must be the one he chose, not his staff

Jack White, Jack Black (Tenacious D) and many more unlisted

I thought Bruce Springsteen told him no for "Born in the USA?" The list is so long, it is not surprising that it could be incomplete. Did Taylor Swift have to shut him down too?

I am just trying to picture Trump using "Killing in the Name of."

I don't see taytays name

Didn’t expect to see Skynard on there. Though my wife pointed out that while I have a mental tableau of their music the lyrics don’t reflect it

another one: https://theonion.com/francis-scott-key-estate-sends-cease-and-desist-to-trump-for-playing-star-spangled-banner-at-rally/

Omfg they can't even get lynatd skynard

Just 30? Either the rest don't care or they are hoping to profit off the publicity of saying "no" if the Trump campaign does use some of their music.

Like most "stars" they are more about themselves than the general good.

Even that young Gen Z'er, Miley Cyrus, is too smart for that a-hole!

Jack White is missing on the list

Huh, Tom Petty died.

Can Public Domain request to be added to the list?

Not like they really have a say. Record companies own the rights to their music

Lynyrd Skynyrd? Last show I saw of them, they were very much on the trump bandwagon
