You can add Jack White and the White Stripes to this.

Jack White too as of this morning.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Really? Damn. First time hearing about this.

Edit: oh, it was a different Jack White. I was thinking of the White Stripes guy.

Class action power house lawsuit?

Oh shit! David Bowie, Prince, and Kenny Rogers are alive!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, sorry they've all kicked the bucket...David Bowie and Prince died in 2016, and Kenny Rogers died in 2020.

Edit: Oh, now I get it.

Even renowned asshole Katy Perry doesn't approve

I thought Bruce Springsteen told him no for "Born in the USA?" The list is so long, it is not surprising that it could be incomplete. Did Taylor Swift have to shut him down too?

I am just trying to picture Trump using "Killing in the Name of."

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Why doesn't he just use music from his buddies Kid Rock and Ted Nugent for everything?

No one gives a shit about Kid Rock anymore but he sure thinks they do, and The Nuge is an admitted child molester who literally shit his pants to dodge the draft... Sounds perfect for the modern GOP lol

The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.

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

And the orange man's campaign to RATM when told not to play their music: fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have they actually used it or did Rage just say "don't use our shit"?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I don't know about the campaign itself, but his minions are fond of "Killing in the name of" being played in support of blue lives matter of all things and to convey their "Fuck your feelings" mantra.

the worst part isn't even how paralyzingly stupid they are, it's that they're proud of that fact

Even... Lynyrd Skynyrd is on the list?

Does someone have context on that entry? Not that I'm complaining - because I'm not.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There's a big sign outside Jacksonville on 295 that says "Trump listens to Lynyrd Skynyrd"

" Trump “has not yet seen the video, he will see it shortly, but based upon everything he has heard, he strongly condemns this video.” "

Did he condemn it?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As vehemently as he's condemned any other controversy he finds himself in 🙄

love how halfway through you just gave up "quoting" the song names lol

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"

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was probably Rock star.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Apparently it was in fact photograph

Though I’m sure I’ve never heard that song…
