Even… Lynyrd Skynyrd is on the list?
Does someone have context on that entry? Not that I’m complaining - because I’m not.
" Trump “has not yet seen the video, he will see it shortly, but based upon everything he has heard, he strongly condemns this video.” "
Did he condemn it?
As vehemently as he’s condemned any other controversy he finds himself in 🙄
“Very fine people on both sides”
There’s a big sign outside Jacksonville on 295 that says “Trump listens to Lynyrd Skynyrd”
I can’t tell if that’s supposed an insult or a compliment nor for whom.
My wife showed me the lyrics to Sweet Home Alabama and damn if it didn’t seem to indicate that they’re left of their fans. Namely the lines
In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo, boo, boo!)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me, uh-uh
Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truthWhich I read as “we don’t all love our state’s politics, but also don’t blame us for the shit done by a president from California”
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
He makes music that appeals to the people who don’t understand the lyrics in music. Same story with people think Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen is some patriotic song about how great the US of A is when it is the opposite.
Also it sounds like their music is more anti coastal elitism, which is certainly an orange flag, but Sweet Home Alabama certainly looks to be a song of “quit blaming Alabama democrats for the actions of an Orange County republican president”.
? That song came put in the mid seventies. It was a response to a Neil Young song called southern man that trashed rednecks.
You know Lynyrd Skynyrd is a band named after a gym coach and not an individual person like Bruce Springsteen rigbt?
I always forget it’s not A Guy
I enjoy that the list starts with “Prince” and ends with “Lorde”, nice symmetry
Not like they really have a say. Record companies own the rights to their music
The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.
Have they actually used it or did Rage just say “don’t use our shit”?
I don’t know about the campaign itself, but his minions are fond of “Killing in the name of” being played in support of blue lives matter of all things and to convey their “Fuck your feelings” mantra.
Lol this is fucking hilarious. This is on the level of the popo wearing punisher logos…just complete idiots
I mean, “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” is probably a good thing from their point of view…
I am amazed they don’t use Bulls on Parade…
And the orange man’s campaign to RATM when told not to play their music: fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.
the worst part isn’t even how paralyzingly stupid they are, it’s that they’re proud of that fact
Fucking Paul Ryan cited RATM as his favorite band. These are not smart people.
Not self-aware enough to understand they’re the machine the songs rage against.
Well, dumbass fucks also need representation. Too bad it’s like ~50% of the US.
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
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.”
Jack Black too
Jack White too as of this morning.
Really? Damn. First time hearing about this.
Edit: oh, it was a different Jack White. I was thinking of the White Stripes guy.
I think it’s the same Jack White.
This is the article that’s confused me
Even renowned asshole Katy Perry doesn’t approve
Huh, Tom Petty died.
Heartbreaking.
Yeah, he don’t come around here no more
Michael Jackson isn’t on the list. I wonder why…
TIL Lorde wasn’t made up by South Park.
I also had never heard of Lorde until South Park lol. I didn’t hear my first song by her IRL until like 2011/2012 with Royals.
How old are you?
She was well after my time in terms of marketing and promotion but I definitely knew who she was and what her music was.
I am lord, ya ya ya
Why would he think Neil Young would ever support him?
Even less Elton John 😂
Omfg they can’t even get lynatd skynard
