What I'd like to know is whether artists even have any legal authority to stop political figures from playing their songs at events. If not, Trump should flip both of them the bird and keep playing.

Trump supporters should stop patronizing any of these degenerates don’t buy their music. Don’t watch them on TV. Don’t patronize your sponsors and certainly don’t attend their “concerts”

What stupid business people

If the artist sold his music for public use, they can’t stop who uses it. They are just virtue signaling.

That was a Turning Point rally and all the music and hoopla was not made by Trump.

Everyone noticed the music was different didn’t they?

Anyway, the Poo Fighters may have a problem because it would be Turning Point they would have to go after.

President Trump should sue them for defamation to implying he stole their music when he has legally paid the fee to use their song.

Maybe they’re just making a desperate virtue signal, so the Bolsheviks don’t burn down all their stuff.

They can’t stop the use of their music. Royalties are paid for use. This is nothing but virtue signaling. And yeah Dave Grohl has a reputation for being a real a**hole. He required anyone that wanted to come to a Foo Fighters show to be vaccinated.

They may not even own the rights to their songs. Even if they did the artist usually does not get into the day to day licensing of their music.

So as long as the Trump campaign paid to use the music, they are in the clear.

Okay, wait. So, if I have a big BBQ or say a block party and I play one of their songs, I have to get their approval first?? If I host an outdoor teen dance up at the park, I need their approval to play their songs? Do radio DJ’s need their approval to play their songs? If I play their cd in my car, do I need their approval? Inquiring minds wanna know!

I’ve never heard of the Poo Flingers before. Are they a musical group or what?

This whole episode demonstrates the the stupidity of most celebrities. The analogous situation would be Donald Trump building a skyscraper, selling it to a hotel chain, and then complaining years later about the hotel renting a room to some has-been musicians.
