Actually? Donald Trump and his marketing campaign are doing it once more? Why do they insist on continuously utilizing songs and music with out permission? I am guessing it is as a result of the vast majority of artists and bands do not need to have something to do with Donald Trump.
However right here we’re once more the place Trump and his crew used a Foo Fighters track at an Arizona rally on Friday, August 23 whereas introducing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the stage.
After I heard the Foo Fighters track “My Hero” blasting from the audio system from a clip that popped up in my Threads feed whereas the rally in Glendale was nonetheless occurring, I believed this is not going to finish nicely for the Trump marketing campaign.
After all, loads of individuals had been in settlement, commenting as nicely, that there is not any means the Foo’s allowed Trump to make use of their music.
I even reached out to a diehard Foo Fighter’s buddy of mine who’s interviewed them and he or she beginning laughing. She advised me we’ll all hear from the Foo Fighter’s camp by Saturday morning if not earlier.
Then, I child you not, a couple of minutes later, BOOM, this popped up in my Threads.
An hour later, a spokesperson for the Foo Fighters mentioned not solely did the Trump marketing campaign not ask permission, however the band would have vehemently advised them no.
Now, for that “one step additional” I discussed within the headline.
