TIL Lorde wasn’t made up by South Park.
I am lord, ya ya ya
I also had never heard of Lorde until South Park lol. I didn’t hear my first song by her IRL until like 2011/2012 with Royals.
How old are you?
She was well after my time in terms of marketing and promotion but I definitely knew who she was and what her music was.
Ha ha. 15. Rage Against The Machine. Having visions of Trump arriving at the podium along with Killing In The Name
Had to look them up to make sure I wasn’t talking up my ass, but using RATM, who apparently used anti-authoritarian and revolutionary lyrics, for a rally for someone looking to be a dictator is very ironic.
That type of mindless embracing of something you’re not really paying attention to, is typical right-wing mindlessness.
Check out the lyrics to Bruce Springsteen “Born In The USA” while keeping in mind that reagan used it in 1984 presidential election campaign rallies and even mentioned it in gushing, patriotic speech demagoguery, I believe. Never bothered to see what that song is actually about - Vietnam veterans abandoned by their own government and country, as the America they grew up in is decaying into the Rust Belt.
Trump playing Rage at a rally is on par with him asking Karl Marx to wake up and come speak.
The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.
the worst part isn’t even how paralyzingly stupid they are, it’s that they’re proud of that fact
Fucking Paul Ryan cited RATM as his favorite band. These are not smart people.
Not self-aware enough to understand they’re the machine the songs rage against.
Well, dumbass fucks also need representation. Too bad it’s like ~50% of the US.
Have they actually used it or did Rage just say “don’t use our shit”?
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.
Lol this is fucking hilarious. This is on the level of the popo wearing punisher logos…just complete idiots
I mean, “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” is probably a good thing from their point of view…
Nickelback? 😂
That must be the one he chose, not his staff
Hating on Nickelback is automatic down vote now. People like them now man, keep up
Some people…
It was clearly a joke anyway.
That being said, I’m not fussed about down votes tbh…
He would listen to Nickelback.
I’m sure Mike Love of the Beach Boys didn’t mind Trump using their music. He’s a massive conservative douchebag.
Brian Wilson and Al Jardine have been pretty openly against the Orange One using their music. But yeah… Mike Love’s gonna Mike Love. Not sure why Bruce Johnston still associates with him.
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
So, just Kid Rock then?
You can add Jack White and the White Stripes to this.
It would be great if someone rickrolled Trump at one of his rallies just so Rick Astley could join that list.
Everytime I see an article about an artist that ordered a cease and desist, all the sudden music experts come out of the woodwork. “BuT THeY pAID fOr aLl thE RiGHTs aNd caN Do whatEver ThEY WAnt with IT”
It usually ends with “what a washed up performer anyways”.
Go back to your Kid Rock.
You know you are really hated when Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon agree on something.
Why would he think Neil Young would ever support him?
Even less Elton John 😂
