Why don’t these candidates - and also Rush and Hannity - use music from artists who support them or at least support free speech?????
I am tried of this petty sniping. Screw them.
I’m sure there are MANY artists who would appreciate the support and publicity
Hannity was criticized by Bruce Hornsby for using “The Way it Is” on his show.
I believe prog talker Stephanie Miller used to use We’re Not Gonna Take it on her show but it changed to Walking on Sunshine when Obama was elected.
In the video for We’re Not Gonna Take it, Mark Metcalf who played Niedemeyer in Animal House plays the father of a young boy—and at the end of the song itself he can be heard repeating a line from the film “A pledge pin??? On your
uniform???”—along with “you are a disgusting slob!”

In the film, Niedemeyer orders Flounder to “drop and give me 20” (pushups) in a pile of horse dung.
Artists and musicians especially just generally tend to be lefties. If they only used artists who were not pants wetting lefties, they’d be mostly limited to Country and Classical music. Since they are choosing music to appeal to a broad demographic, either for votes, or for listeners, that just doesn’t make sense commercially.
because it bothers the prissy artist types that they have no control over conservatives.
It is an affirmation of the free market. These losers “protest” because they THINK it gives them PR for their live performances (lipsink shows?) since they do not own the rights to the songs.
They are too stupid to understand that they are closing the wallets of the majority of americans.
He would get more pr by performing live for ryan. Then again, I never knew twisted sister was into homosexual “marriage.”
He should use red white and blue from skynyd instead... they are the good guys!
Whenever they do, their rallies end up sounding like a country music concert. And the gutless GOP establishment is obviously too scared to be associated with real conservatives like Ted Nugent and Hank Williams, Jr. Maybe they should stick to classical music?
Rush isn’t a fair comparison. He secured the artist’s permission to use it, and as he’s said many times, he pays for it.
