Some bakers consider their wedding cakes as art and would prefer that gay couples don't purchase them. Is that ok?

“Tommika Anderson” is a moron who thinks Steven Tyler sings for the Rolling Stones.

You would think people would be getting smarter with the internet as a resource.

They appear to be getting dumber.

There’s absolutely no reason to patronize the feckless cowards. There are plenty of liberty-minded artists not intimidated by political correctness.

I would not want to use the music or art of anyone who did not want his/her music or art to be associated with my campaign.

Why don’t they just play old classical music that has long fallen into the public domain. I’d rather listen to Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion while waiting for Trump instead of these trashy bands anyway.

I thought they should have played this song when Melania came out to give her speech...

"The Boy From New York City" (youtube song link)

"Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City"

This is free publicity for the artist. They get their money on the front end from ASCAP and BMI etc. and they get the free publicity by complaining on the back end. Win/ win

Why are these morons complaining. I recall at a DNC Convention they were playing Elvis. Now one has to be dumb to think simply because you hear a song that the artist is supporting that candidate.

When I heard Elvis played over at the DNC Convention, I didn’t go “Wow! Elvis supports the Demoncrap”. Elvis was a registered Republican. Looks like these ungrateful artist should be thankful for getting royalty checks from Donald.

The interesting thing is that song writer and not the band receives the royalties of any particular song. In other words the song writer and not the band owns the rights to the song.
A band may not like who uses their rendition of a particular piece but as long as the royalties are paid to the song writer the band or the writers don’t have a legal ground to stand on...

I believeALL the music that was played at the convention was PLAYED LIVE by an onstage band. I think it was G.E. Smith who headed up the band. He used to be the band on the old Saturday Night Live.

The republican convention pays for a license which allows for the performance LIVE of any song published through ASCAP and BMI.

They are NOT playing the original recording of the song. They are PERFORMING LIVE their own version which if you're licensed is perfectly legal.

This started from day 1 when Trump used that song “Rocking in a Free World”, and neil young complained about it. Then Trump tweeted a picture of Neil Young in his office asking him for money from a month prior.

Among these artists, were stars like Adele, Bruce Springsteen, and The Rolling Stones, whose own lead singer Steve Tyler hired a lawyer to send a cease and desist letter to Donald Trump requesting the candidate no longer use "Dream On," or any other work according to CNN.

I hope that these folks have a "Plan B" for what they plan to do after Trump wins. I never heard of any of them; their version of music is "noise" to me. So they will not lose my business because it does not exist.

Other former fans may rethink their loyalty after they see how bigoted and biased and ignorant are these artists who ignore the First Amendment.

Kinda like the joke:

Young lady, we already know what you are, what we doing now is bickering about the price.

Are political views a protected class under the anti-discrimination laws of the state?

This is the Chronicle’s way of saying “Do NOT vote for Trump—all these bands you love hate Trump!” Cheap political trick, done routinely.
Media collusion with dems. Over 50 media outlets used the word “dark” to describe Trump’s speech as “dark”. 1 minute of CNN coverage over the DNC leaks, 28 minutes first DAY on Trump’s wife speech having a line like Mrs. O.
Screw the lying media!
GO TRUMP!!
