Damn....LOL..now that I've heard more of the song "there's been so many girls...", etc...it's even more appropriate given that he walked out holding the hand of his third wife....and then there's the whole Russian hooker spin...

After months and multiple statements issued by The Rolling Stones expressing displeasure at the use of their music at Donald Trump rallies, the rock n’ roll band’s frontman Mick Jagger finally commented on why the band and its team couldn’t prevent the use of their songs on Trump’s campaign playlist.

“So Patty, asked me about Donald Trump using Stones music, and we said, like, ‘Don't use our music,’” Jagger said on a Rolling Stones Twitter Q&A on Wednesday afternoon. “So, the thing is, when you appear in America...if you're in a public place like Madison Square Garden or a theater, you can play any music you want, and you can't be stopped. So, if you write a song and someone plays it in a restaurant that you go to, you can't stop them. They can play what they want.”

they track down restaurants playing music that they didn't pay for. I read something once about the record companies having people that travel around going to restaurants and writing down what music was playing so that they could check on the royalties. here -

10. A small local band I was in had a CD on the jukebox

in a restaurant owned by a friend. Eventually we got some kind of notice from
ascap about royalties--something ridiculously small. Then the jukebox broke.

Your message seems to be Trump is in charge and there is nothing we can do about it. Getting old.
