Musicians bitching about who utilizes their music after they’ve taken the green from having it placed in a licensing clearing service is irritating...
Neil’s got recourse, he just would rather make noise about it than get relief:
“The ASCAP Political Campaign License agreement provides a blanket license to perform any or all of the millions of compositions in the ASCAP repertory. However, ASCAP members may ask ASCAP to exclude specific songs from a particular political campaign’s license. In that event, ASCAP will notify the campaign of the excluded works.”
All they have to do is ask. But like democrats in general, they don’t want to solve problems, they want to use them to stir the pot.
If he feels Trump’s use of his song somehow implies a false endorsement, he can sue for that. He will do neither.
Especially when said musician is CANADIAN! Dude, shut up. don't sing anymore, puleeze! Your cat-scratching voice has not aged well.
