Would be nice to see a list of the specific songs that got the takedown issued and the date.

Mostly I'm just curious about Nickelback. In what political context are we using "Photograph"?

They may as well play "The Hook," by Blues Traveller just to round that list of irony out.

I got lazy haha

...Does the campaign realize what House of the Rising Sun is about?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

That's not important. As long as the Voters don't know or don't care, it does the Job

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or "Keep on Rocking in the Free World"

To be fair, completely missing the actual message of “Born in the USA” is a longstanding republican tradition.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which is a bit surprising since that's kind of hard to do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I mean if you literally just ignore all of the lyrics except the part where Bruce is nearly screaming "born in the usa" like a lamentation... I guess it's possible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Or "Electric Avenue"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

My guess is… they got some one managing trumps twitter to post it so they could boost sales.

Because. I mean. Who’s actually listening to nickleback? And not, like, just at a strip club?
