The Rolling Stones join a group of musicians who thought they could just tell a Republican candidate to stop playing their music at their political events.
But they never meet a candidate like Donald Trump.
The Trump replied to the Stones demand with a simple statement “I always buy the rights.”
It’s called a blanket license and so long as the proper fees are paid an individual may use the performers music in these types of occasions.
Other performers who have demanded the Trump campaign stop using their songs include Adele, Steven Tyler and Neil Young.
I hope he keeps trolling the music industry and eventually puts together an album of songs that he’s been asked not to use. Where’s K-tel?
Now that’s the Trump I like. I’ll bet Mick Jagger had to get another transfusion after hearing that.
Right here is just one more example of why many of us appreciate Trump’s ability to flick off such trivialities. Most (Republican) politicians would have immediately caved. These musicians need to shut up and sing. (h/t Laura Ingraham)
Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s influential “trending” news section, according to a former journalist who worked on the project. This individual says that workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering

Social media run by the left, for the left.
Jagger can choke on a dingdong.
Where’s K-Tel? Probably trying to obtain the rights to Toad the Wet Sprocket

Regulators in Washington are showing increasing interest in tightening rules on political speech on the web, arguing that the dissonant voices enabled by “new media” have become too influential.
TRUMP 2016!

Trump represents American ‘can-do’ ingenuity.
That’s what many voters have apparently perceived.
In a sense he is the ANTI-OBAMA. We need that.
Steven Tyler is a dude who looks like a lady. But I like to call him by his real name, Steven Tallarico, a shady automobile and Harley Davidson dealer up here in NH. I was going to see you at LaconiaFest, Mr. Tallarico, but you can forget about it now, prick.
I am in the live theatrical business and Trump is correct. Domestic and international law through ASCAP, BMI and SESAC provides for blanket license use of any songs registered through them. Trump probably pays less than $25 per rally. On the other hand, their music is heard by millions when his campaign rallies are broadcast and played via internet.
Equal justice under the law, Rolling Stones.
You can’t always get what you want.

Laughing so hard I am crying, Vietvet. Perfect line.
If you don’t want someone buying and using it, don’t put it up for sale.
Reading about Mick and Company take another giant step into irrelevance I was reminded of the Rush Limbaugh/Chrissie Hynde flareup, that actually never happened.
In 1984 (I believe) EMI… Chrissie and The Pretenders label… sent Rush’s people some sort of ‘Cease and Desist’ order over the use of the intro to The Pretenders “My City Was Gone”. The order stated they couldn’t even pay to use it anymore.
Later that year Chrissie was being interviewed on the air by Scott Shannon. When he asked her thoughts on EMI’s actions she said it was the first she’d heard about it… she wasn’t a Rush fan and never listened to his program. BUT… knew her parents were big Rush fans and she had no problem at all with him using her song as his theme.
Rush’s people taped that show and sent it to EMI who backed away from their original stance and now Rush pays a yearly ‘user’s fee’ to play the music.
I don’t know what this has to do with the original theme here, but it rang a bell I wanted to un-ring. “Dum Dum dum-dum-dum-dum”

Under my little thumb, Mick.
Like I said before, Trump does not walk down a road he hasn’t had swept for mines and IEDs.
