(18,837 posts)In July 2016, I covered the Democratic and Republican national conventions for Ad Age -- and in a column I filed from Donald Trump's coronation in Cleveland, I wrote about the "inexplicable, but perhaps telling, exit music" that closed out the RNC:
The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" pumped into the arena at a volume so loud I could feel it in my molars as nets holding thousands of red, white and blue balloons released their bounty onto the exuberant RNC delegates.
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime, well you might find
You get what you need.
As I noted back then, the Rolling Stones had already demanded that Trump never again use their music after his campaign made unauthorized use of that exact song on the campaign trail. (Does he not realize the song was written and performed by foreigners?!)
Playing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was a "fuck you" to the Rolling Stones then, and it's an even bigger "fuck you" to them now. But coming so quickly in the wake of Trump's tough talk about intellectual property, this latest "fuck you" is clearly directed at more than just the Stones.

(6,831 posts)has repeatedly asked Spanky to quit using his music as well. Especially, "Living On The Edge." Apparently, Tyler is so fed up, he's had a cease-and-desist letter drawn up by his attorneys to be presented to trmp.
For someone who demands respect for what's his, Spanky seems be singularly ignorant that others have proprietary rights as well.
