Yeah, most Rick Bands wouldn;t want Trump playing their music.
Most musicians have the morals of an ally-cat and the brains of a reptile. Who cares? As long as we stay within the law (for royalty payments) I say use whatever we want.
“Frank Zappa quote: “Rock music was never written for, or performed for, conservative tastes.””
Sorry Frank. If it’s really great Rock and Roll it’s not a matter of taste, it’s f-ing primal.
Music and Conservative values have a LOT in common.
FREEDOM! Freedom of expression. Freedom to listen to whatever kind of music you like. Freedom to play what you want (yes - even rap).
Plus add in the Capitalism of it all - putting out a product that people will pay money for. And hopefully enjoying doing it. (Funny how many of these liberal rock and rollers get so upset over the free distribution of their music.)
Zappa said the highlight of his career was when he fell off a stage once...great musician, little else.
They soon forget that it was Algores wife who was all upset about music lyrics.
And that was over the music of Prince, before the really vile cRAP music came on the scene.
The NYT proves itself as incompetent....again.
Long before it was Cleveland Rocks, it was Cleveland(’s River) Burns.
Long before it was Cleveland(’s River) Burns, it was Cleveland S*cks!
Guess they never read my “Seven Events That Made America” where I debunk the notion that rock was all that left. Some was, some musicians were, some weren’t.
