So I just saw little article about leftist 60s guy Neil Young who said Donald Trump couldn't use one of his songs...same thing with Aerosmith....
So, it just kind of struck me: Artist "Y" created something and THEN Trump purchases the CD/Music File/Record, whatever the material is upon which the recording is made...and then uses it for his OWN pleasure.
Artist Y hates Trump and says that even though the record can be bought and purchased, Trump cannot play it publicly. And that wish is respected.
Baker "J" creates cakes. Or photographer "G" creates stunning pictures. Can THEY not restrict the use of THEIR creations and services?
I know I am speaking to the choir here, by and large, but I wonder why the hypocrisy isn't plain and obvious.
Seriously. We have to respect the recording artist whose creations (they've made and sold by the millions) are out in the public. We must listen when they say "Don't use my song for X". But we don't have to respect the artist who creates cakes...or the artist who creates stunning photographs? *They* have to be enslaved and made to create their works for anyone....even if they disagree with the event for which the creation is made?
Yeah no kidding.
Sue their asses. Shut up and play the song.
Its the bakers labor too to bake the cake. Its their skills and labor that makes the cake.
Well Chuck, sorry to inform you but, over the years Mr. Petty (pun intended) has turned hard left in the political world. That’s the short version. Should you do some homework I’m sure you’ll find my statement to be true.

Snoot ;o)
“...when the dust settled, he was still using the song.”
I listened to him all the time back then and my recollection is that the singer’s parents were big fans and they complained to her about him not being able to use the song and she said, oh, well, if you guys want him to use it he can. But I could really not be remembering this correctly I have to say that too.
“The Civil Rights Act took that away...”
This is correct. But never worry, the lefties will have us all segregated again ASAP.
Or.....something like that!
Interesting vanity. Thanks SoFloFreeper.
