This whole story has bizarre twists that show the lack of a plan in the Trumpette campaign.
Oddly, they played the Stones "you can't always get what you want" at the close of the Tulsa debacle/embarrassment/rally. Weird choice for a campaign-- admitting no one wants Trump?. Even Mick Jagger was shaking his head--said it was a song about trying to get illegal substances in a bad neighborhood. Like WTF Trump?
The way this works from my experience is the campaign pays a fee to a licensing organization like ASCAP or BMI that allows them to play almost any song--unless the artist or copyright holder objects.
They tried Tom Petty "Don't Back Down" and the Petty estate shut that down.
It seemed the Stones had told Trump to stop before and they did not so they had to threaten a lawsuit.
What is funny is if the Trump campaign does not stop, it is a slam dunk win for the Stones in court. Imagine Mick and the boys take a few million from the Trump campaign and give it to Biden. That would be fun.
Republicans have a history of ignoring the law and contracts with music, as well as being stupid. Think it was Reagan who tried to use Springsteen's "Born in the USA." Another ignorant choice since the song is about the bad side of America abusing youth in Vietnam and discarding veterans who served when they returned.

I like this--nominate a song for the Trump campaign.
I suggest Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime":
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Trump should use either:
Dennis Leary's "Asshole"
or
Henry Rollins "Liar"
|
|
|
^ Ha!
Why anyone is excited about either of these candidates is beyond me.
|
|
|
Excellent ideas! Both Sleepy Joe and Liar.
We totally gotta hack the PA at the next Trump rally
|
|
|
On the candidates. I am excited that one is not Trump.
Which I think is the Biden campaign slogan
|
|
|
Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown" would be appropriate for a trump rally.
Or anything by Gary Glitter, cause Pence and Don Jr. and Subway Jered should all compare notes.

I could see Trump singing "Do you wanna touch me?" to the pornstars (who are holding their vomit in) he pounds away at.

^ You mean Midgets???

"Have you been tested for some degree of cognitive decline?" the reporter then asked Biden.
"I've been tested and I'm constantly tested," Biden snapped back.
"Look, all you got to do is watch me and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I'm running against," he declared.

I could be wrong, but I think it is the venues who pay general licensing fees, so anyone holding an event at a given arena has access to thousands of songs.
Trump has been using "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones since 2015.
The very first song Trump tried to use for his 2016 campaign was playing when he rode down that escalator. It was "Rockin’ in the Free World" by Neil Young. That tune is about as misunderstood as Born In The USA. If Trump was running a campaign based on helping out the homeless and underserved, that song would fit. I doubt he has ever actually listened to, and certainly never read, the full lyrics. It is about the failure of the first President Bush to keep us out of unnecessary wars while ignoring the needs of America's poor.
Young asked him to stop using it because Trump didn't ask him permission first... also Young was, and still is, a big Bernie fan. Trump agreed to stop using it.
