As far as I’m concerned, if a recording artist has their music registered with ASCAP, then any political candidate should be able to play their songs as they would be paying royalties to do so.
Good news. Every time I hear this song, I now think of the TRUMP campaign!
Too bad about Neil Young, but a Southern Man don’t need him around. Nasty Canuck.
Awesome!
The song definitely does match what Trump is presenting.
The name of Snider’s band, Twisted Sister, does however, better suit a certain Democrat candidate.
he could pay the Ascap rate anyway. He is the greatest American since George Washington. I’m sure the singers are Thrilled!!

“What is THAT?? Why, that’s MUSIC!!”
> “Donald Trump has drawn the ire of musical acts like Neil Young, Aerosmith and R.E.M. for using their songs on his presidential campaign trail.”
Neil Young is a lunatic canuck who was told by his famous band members to stop sympathethizing with the plight of Charles Manson, and who would form friendships and drop agreements and scheduled performances on a whim. He’s a fricken canadian a-hole.
Steve Tyler of Aerosmith looks like a walking advertisement of just how ugly excessive drugs can make one look. His mind is fried and is body and face are an advertisement to youth to NOT DO DRUGS. His many exploits included cancelling concert performances at the last minute because he was too drugged out to get on stage. He’s also a 1st class a-hole.
REM ...REM who? One-hit wonders with nothing of note for the record and who were so disillusioned to think they had more impact than the Beatles. Losers these a-holes be.
There are plenty of pop musicians out there for Donald’s campaign to draw on and who will be glad to attach their works to a rockstar politician like Trump.
What I take away from this is: See how Donald Trump is able to get what he wants? Even though they disagree on some issues, he is a friend-maker, he is likable, he gets results.
If the powers that be “allow” him to be President, he really could make this country great again.
Good on Snider!
On another note, a lot of conservative/libertarian Rush fans are in for a really rude awakening. They invited Michael Moore backstage when he was in the audience at a show and recently Lee and Lifeson were on his Sirius XM show for an interview.
Ah-nold used the same song during the 2003 recall of Grey Davis. Jeff “Skunk” Baxter of Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers toured with Arnold and did a great job live on that song.
Maybe he could get permission to use “You’ve Got to Stand for Something.” Tipper sang at one of our rallies in DC.
Horrible music.
