I understand the argument about an artist preferring their music not be used to support a political campaign, but they actively engage in the licensing because it makes them money. There's no need to pretend it's something that it isn't. Truth be told we don’t know whether the Trump campaign has paid its ASCAP/BMI fees. It probably has. But given the cash crunch it’s possible that was thrown overboard with the TV buys. Who knows. Bottom line: utterly ironic choice of song here.

I think the point of the song was that poor kids went to Vietnam and died, but the rich, privileged kids generally stayed home. I wouldn’t take the lyrics too literally. 2

Not saying that Trump is in the wrong here, but it’s reasonable to ask about the Fortunate Son use.

Who said anything about criminality? Only you. Unauthorized use is equivalent to theft. And, based on the article, it looks like some licenses might not permit use in political contexts.

It's not on me if you can't follow the topic. What was the "glimmer"---just to be clear, you used that word in a prior post---you referenced when linking to the article? I read it in its entirety, then read it again, and was the "glimmer" that some licenses might not permit use in political context? You never said. The article seems to be much more a "gotcha!' then anything of substance regarding DJT. The story goes a bunch of aging and/or dead entertainers don't want their work used by a political candidate? Has DJT and/or his campaign said "Screw that, we'll just use 'Won't back down" anyway? Your link is much ado about nothing. Though, personally, I do like to hear the thoughts of entertainers on issues like this when they share them, it helps me frame how/where I spend my money in the future.

Speaking generally, the music can be used through licensing agreements that the artist agrees to. What we often see is the artist who entered into said agreement raising an objection because they do not support the candidate. There is no theft involved. https://ew.com/music/2018/11/05/can-musicians-stop-politicians-from-using-music/ .correct...ASCAP and BMI are the musicians' licensing protectors if memory serves me..... 1

Jimmy Carter has set the record straight about who joined Willie Nelson in smoking pot on the roof of the White House during Carter's presidency. It wasn't a White House staffer member, it was one of Carter's sons. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jimmy-carter-reveals-willie-nelsons-white-house-pot-smoking-pal-one-of-my-sons 1 1
