This article is from Consumerist, a division of Consumer Reports Magazine.
It is in response to a thread I posted earlier on this topic.

Poster SMGFAN posted the link to this article from Consumerist on the legal aspects of this issue.
To me, the main point is: "If indeed the RNC does have proper performance licenses in place to cover all the songs it played this week, it could be very difficult for anyone to sue."
Also, poster Heights posted a reminder to us that George Harrison met with President Ford.
Just for fun, here is a picture of Billy Preston, George Harrison, and President Gerald Ford.

“Happy Together”?
I violently object to that song being played.
If that wasn’t the worst R&R song of all time, I don’t know what is.

I heard a Bad Company song being played there that was obviously a version done by a cover band. Nothing to see here. Move along.

>> We Are The Champions
One Simpsons episode, or maybe it was Family Guy, showed a Fox News van pulling up and it was playing “We Are the Champions” (George W. Bush had won)
Mr Harrison won’t be down for breakfast for comment about Here Comes the Sun. He did write a great anti tax song.
Ha ha, Mrs Clinton. Ha ha, Mr Kaine. Cause I’m the taxman

Great story and enjoyable read. Got a chuckle out of Billy’s “Fro”.

Sounds to me like all these Artists and their Estates and Companies need to be FULLY INVESTIGATED for Intimidation and possible extortion, Maybe the IRS should check in to their Finances for irregularities? Any Foundations? Charity’s? Off Shore Holdings not fully accounted for??

.. The first high-profile group to sound off about their music being used at the RNC was The Turtles ..LOL.
To: jeannineinsd
What's the name of that group that makes the NFL on CBS music? Trump should have hired those guys. This right here is completely awe-inspiring and makes me want to put on a helmet and some pads:
NFL on CBS First on Field

If that wasnt the worst R&R song of all time, I dont know what is.
There are many worse songs. My nominee is Jagger and M. Jackson, "State of Shock". If its the kitsch that gets you, we can discuss McCartney and M. Jackson's "Ebony and Ivory".
For the Turtle's I prefer "Elenore" to "Happy Together". They had a great drummer.
