This should be the last time Donald Trump uses the Rolling Stones’ music at one of his events, a representative for the band said Wednesday.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s campaign has been using Rolling Stones music — he played a recording of the song “Start Me Up” at a speech late last month and again Tuesday night — and the band isn’t happy about it. The 54-year-old group has requested Trump stop using Stones music.

Maybe we should go back to America’s REAL music and AMERICAN singers anyway.

Trump campaign has done the same as well

They bought the rights to play these songs at his rallies from the record labels

This is just sour grapes from liberal performers

But they don’t mind cashing their monthly royalty checks

bunch of complaining liberal losers

And Trump and his campaign have paid the record companies for public performances of this music.

This is just more leftist whine

According to Rush that isn’t true, it was the record company. Once Chrissy heard about it she said something along the lines of, “My parents listen to Rush all the time, if he wants to use it it’s fine with me.”

A funny memory: Watching Johnny Carson’s reaction to when he was roasted by Rich Little.

My favorite was always Albert Brooks. Acting drunk was never so damn funny. I’ve spent entire afternoons watching those on YouTube.

Given the The Trump Train meme, why not Locomotive Breath?

The all-time winner has got the GOPe by the balls.

Trump should tell the Stones they can’t always get what they want.

Its not up to them. If you pays the tiny royalty, you gets to plays the music.
