The music playing Trump in at the Phoenix rally was off

[Moral Compass]

I was watching Lawrence O'Donnell last night on MSNBC and he played a clip of Trump's Nuremberg Phoenix rally. I noticed that the song that played him in was "You can't always get what you want" by the Rolling Stones.

It would have been far more appropriate if it had been "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" by Linda Ronstadt. They could've followed that one with "Lord it's Hard to Be Humble (when you are perfect in every way)" by Mac Davis.

1. I recall the Stones advising Trump not to use their music

I Googled it to find the original story and see some media outlets have updated the situation...

That's what an entitled doofus will do -- think he's entitled, whether it's grabbing women's genitalia or continuing to use other people's property.

4. And that's why he chose that song.

If you tell him "Don't do it," he'll do it.

8. I wish they would sue him...doesn't matter if they win

It would settle out or go away, whatever. It's the statement.

2. I thought it was "God bless the USA" that he entered to

3. "I'm a Loser" is a perfect fit for him, but I don't want the Beatles music anywhere near him!

5. I was going to post this same point last night.

The Stones wrote the songs so they can tell him not to use them, no matter how much they pay for the copyright. The article said the Stones demanded he not play their music. Isn't this against the law?

I could think of a zillion songs that would be appropriate for him to use (mostly sarcastic ones). He is buddies with Kids Rock and Ted, the Nuge, Nugent so why doesn't he play their songs?

6. Trump has the country in a "Stranglehold", baby.

and we're choaking.

7. Correction: The Stones song played him OFF the stage

9. Correction noted

I really found my mind sliding off what was happening on my television. I had to switch channels to preserve my sanity...

I'm sure you are correct. But my choice of appropriate songs stands.

I flipped over to The Golf Channel and they were airing "The Caddy" in honor of Jerry Lewis. That was way easier to stomach.
