Per reports, former POTUS Donald Trump has never met VP Kamala Harris because she was so ineffective as a senator that she was never on a lead negotiating committee that worked with the POTUS between 2017 and 2021.

Maybe Biden can just sign another EO to stop all music from ever being played.

Maybe the Trump Campaign should ask permission from the artists before playing their songs at his rallies ???

Such a thing, was once customary ....

In 1984, the Ronald Reagan Re-election Campaign wanted to use "Born in the USA" as their theme song, in both commercials and at rallies.

(Even though, it didn't fit at all. The song was about everyday people overcoming hardships in America; rather than being an ode to American exceptionalism, as the Reagan Campaign wanted to portray it.)

They asked Bruce Springsteen for permission, and Springsteen said, "No." Therefore, the Reagan Campaign didn't use it.

That is how these things were normally handled, pre-Trump.

Born In The USA was released in 84 and was number 1 on the billboard. I doubt most politicians are asking permission to use songs that are 60 years old.

As long as the campaign is paying BMI and/or ASCAP they don’t have to ask permission to use any music in their repertoire.

I don't think the meaning of that song is what many folks think it means. It's not a patriotic song at all... I don't know why any politician would choose that song if they've listened to anything other than the chorus.

All the fake Kamala accents I’m hearing say otherwise right now

Imagine if she believed she could win multiple southern states!!

Have her out here like “ Y’all. Bless their heart. That cat’s got some serious chops. I was at the joint last night, and his solo was outta sight. Ya dig? All the jive turkeys were snapping their fingers, lost in that groove (laughs uncontrollably for 30 seconds). That’s right y’all.”

Probably try to start SEC chant while eating a plate of BBQ. She’s so ridiculous.

Per the words right out of his mouth, Trump's former director of national intelligence said Trump doesn't know the difference between a lie and the truth. Other direct comments from former cabinet members are just as unflattering. Totally unprecedented for a former POTUS.

I believe that is an important issue

Wasn't speaking in terms of legality .... as much in terms of what is customary. And why do they want to play songs from people who openly hate their candidate?

The Foo Fighters will receive royalties from those payments, which they have pledged to donate to the Harris/Walz Campaign .... The Trump Campaign just looks stupid for doing it.

.... and using "My Hero" as an intro is cheesy as hell.
