Adele Doesn’t Want Donald Trump to Use Her Music

The latest musician to speak out
Politics • Views: 46,187

Singer Adele is the latest popular musician to get upset that Donald Trump is using her music to promote his hate rallies.

The Republican presidential candidate, whose slogan is “Make America great again”, has recently been playing Adele’s hit Rolling In The Deep as his “warm-up” music.

“Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning,” her spokesman confirmed.

It is not the first time Trump has been criticised for appropriating pop songs.

Lawyers for Aerosmith star Steven Tyler sent Trump’s campaign a cease-and-desist letter last year, after the politician played the band’s hit single Dream On at numerous rallies around the US.

[…]

Previously, the businessman had played Neil Young’s Rockin’ in the Free World - an angry response to presidency of George Bush Senior - while announcing his candidacy.

Young, a well-known liberal, demanded that Trump stop using the song and declared his support for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders instead.

It’s perfectly understandable that these musicians don’t want to be associated with the Trumpenstein, but unfortunately there’s really nothing they can do to stop him. Legally speaking, as long as Trump pays the proper licensing fees to their publishers he can use their music in rallies and public events no matter what they think of it.

However, public pressure has apprently worked for Aerosmith and Neil Young, so maybe Adele can have the same effect by speaking out.

Iowa, Schmiowa…..Well Happy February everyone. One step closer to spring and speaking of spring, tomorrow is the 130th anniversary of VooDoo Rodent Day in Pennsyltucky. Quite the shindig in beautiful Punxsutawney Pennsylvania, where the party goes on regardless of weather or not the weather is cooperating. Case of Iron (Ahn) City and a 5th of Imperial Whiskey (Imp an Arn) or maybe a brew or 37 from Straub Brewery off US 219 up in St Marys, or maybe a few sixes of Genny and you is as close to the gawds as you can get while still walking among the mortals. Save more money while copping more beer with Natty Light, if savings is your goal along with pissing every 10 minutes.. Stagger about and take in the Sights and Sounds and pass out at 6:58 AM Tuesday February 2nd on live TV.
Forcast for Punxsutawney

Read the reviews on the beverages and plan accordingly.

Vote clouds. Thank you and goodnight.

The only thing that will stop them, usually, is facing the reality that they have to pay royalties. I vaguely recall an issue a few cycles ago where someone was using music and not paying royalties. The threat of a law suit, where the violation is fairly blatant and there are statutory attorney fees are usually enough to get someone to stop.

It seems like a simple C&D letter does the trick most of the time. IIRC, only Jackson Browne has actually sued (McCain, for using ‘Running on Empty’ without permission), while a plethora of artists from Heart to Foo Fighters have stopped unlicensed use by just going public.

And of course, I never resist an opportunity to re-post Joe Walsh’s C&D to Joe Walsh, simply because it makes me laugh.

re: #80 Backwoods_Sleuth

If you’re representing yourself, you have only a fool for a client.

-truism

These wackaloons think that they’ve divined some tremendous insight/loophole that allows them to engage in lawfare on the justice system and law enforcement with baseless claims, legal arguments that are laughed out of court, and which the courts frown upon generally.

But they keep on it. They’re persistent, and dangerous (mostly because they’re typically heavily armed too).

What the NWR standoff showed was just how unhinged the Bundys have gone, and that they’ve plumbed the depths of the sovereign citizen movement to help them. They put law-abiding folks in harm’s way and the sovereign citizens wont be happy until people are dead (either as martyrs or killing law enforcement).

Of course, now that the Bundys are in jail awaiting disposition, they’re going to turn the lawfare up to 11ty to make all kinds of baseless assertions, and have their compatriots attempt to do the same.

None of what they say at this point diminishes the severity of the crimes committed (and committed to video, audio, and all kinds of electronic correspondence). It’s all wrapped in a bowtie for prosecutors.

So I got a craving for a meatloaf sandwich. Therefore, I gotta make a meatloaf which calls for a meatloaf dinner with scalloped taters, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. Which is more food than I will ever eat so I have 2 friends coming over for dinner. That means I have to clean the house and blow the leaves off the patio since that’s where we’ll dine. Then I gotta take a shower, wash my hair and get company presentable.

Maybe I can haz a meatloaf sandwich tomorrow.

So I got a craving for a meatloaf sandwich. Therefore, I gotta make a meatloaf which calls for a meatloaf dinner with scalloped taters, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. Which is more food than I will ever eat so I have 2 friends coming over for dinner. That means I have to clean the house and blow the leaves off the patio since that’s where we’ll dine. Then I gotta take a shower, wash my hair and get company presentable.

…its skepticism, its curiosity, and its fierce desire to make sense of a confusing world in a rigorous way. These same values lie at the heart of mainstream science, too. They are what make science special. They are what make science science.

Nope. Skepticism and curiosity may be starting points for scientific thought but without the willingness to change one’s mind when new evidence calls for it, skepticism and curiosity get you nowhere fast.

And hey, where is all that prodigious skepticism when flat earthers gullibly assume that a vast conspiracy of scientists, map makers, airline pilots, ship captains, astronauts and others fabricate false information regarding the shape of the earth for no apparent reason?*

I did not. But I am not surprised to find this out.

And there’s more!

Conspiracy theorist Pete Santilli, a spokesman for Truckers Ride for the Constitution, suggested that violence against the government would be justified if his group’s plan to jam the Capital Beltway that surrounds Washington, D.C., and ask members of Congress to resign fails.

Santilli is the host of a radio show that promotes conspiracy theories, including the notion that “The World Trade Center towers were turned to dust in mid air by a very powerful energy source.” He also drew widespread attention — including from the Secret Service — in May when he suggested that Hillary Clinton should be “shot in the vagina” for treason.

The Bundys would have to have known who they dealing with when they associated themselves with this hateful loon. Their claims of abhorring violence and not intending a standoff to result just don’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny. Hell, the occupation started off as a freakin’ standoff so what is he talking about?

Remind me again whose land they were occupying? It was a NWR - which is land held in trust for the American people, and special accommodations made for the Paiute who were the original occupants of the land at the refuge. The Bundy nuts have no actual connection to this land other than the matter of convenience. They went because they thought they could piggyback on the Hammonds’ cause, but that went out the window when the Hammonds peacefully went to prison as per their sentencing for federal crimes.

Somehow I doubt that the Bundy nuts were hoping to give the Paiute their land back.

Valizadeh argued on his blog last year that rape should be legal on private property.

“By attempting to teach men not to rape, what we have actually done is teach women not to care about being raped, not to protect themselves from easily preventable acts, and not to take responsibility for their actions,” he wrote at the time. “I thought about this problem and am sure I have the solution: make rape legal if done on private property.”

“I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds,” Valizadeh said.

I think they made the Randist argument that the Injuns didn’t believe in property, plus they weren’t using it right, so they didn’t have any claim to the land. All of which boils down to “White people wanted it.”

Somewhere, Humbert Humbert is saying, “See? It’s not just me!”

Trump on The Howard Stern Show in 2003:

I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12. Her parents are friends of mine, and, you know, the first time I saw her, she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ … Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that. They’re sort of always stuck around that 25 category.

“I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds,” Valizadeh said.

Why just women? Why isn’t Roosh proposing to make the rape of men on private property legal too?

re: #193 Eclectic Cyborg

Question from a Canadian without a full understanding of the U.S. Politial system:

What’s the difference between a Caucus and a Primary?

A primary election is like a general election in that the voting is private and the polls are open all day. In some cases, for some states, a primary is restricted to voters registered with that political party. But usually a state’s primary occurs the same day for both parties. Just that if you are a registered Democrat, you may only be able to vote for a Democratic candidate, etc.

Caucuses can operate in a variety of ways but they differ from primary elections in that they are likely to only occupy a few hours later in the afternoon or early evening. The Iowa caucuses differ for the two parties. The GOP caucus involves speeches made by voters supporting their candidates, but the voting is private and no persuasion or “caucusing” is done. The Democrats employ a more interactive process, and voting is public. In some caucuses it may be the case that if certain candidates do not reach a minimum threshold of support, their voters may be asked to caucus with, or align themselves with, a candidate with more support.

re: #207 Blind Frog Belly White

I think they made the Randist argument that the Injuns didn’t believe in property, plus they weren’t using it right, so they didn’t have any claim to the land. All of which boils down to “White people wanted it.”

There guys are more Cleon Skousen than Ayn Rand. So the formula would be “God wanted the pious white people to have it.”
