The members of the Rolling Stones threatened to sue the President of the United States, Donald Trump, if he persists in using his music to excite his followers in his campaign events with a view to the elections of next November 3, in which the re-election is played.
The outrage of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts erupted after the unfortunate demonstration in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 20 that was supposed to be the revival of the Trump campaign and was a fiasco of few in attendance. and high risk of contagion of coronavirus in full protest against racism, with which the quartet wishes it had nothing to do.
At that time, to keep the temperature high in the sand, the president decided to re-propagate the notes for “You can’t always get what you want”, one of many Stones classic.
Trump has ordered the play to be broadcast despite the warning already sent by the group’s attorneys, after he used the song during the 2016 campaign.
Now the same team of lawyers has contacted the music rights agency BMI to block once and for all the unauthorized exploitation of the band’s music and sent a notification to the Republican campaign team. in which they announce that the Stones are determined to bring Trump to court if his requests continue to be ignored.
The rejection contrasts with the decision made in 2012 by the band’s 58-year-old career, when Jagger spoke to Barack and Michelle Obama to tell them that they were enormously honored by the invitation, before acting in front of the presidential couple and their guests.
The Republican magnate’s disagreements with music legends are not limited to the Stones alone. From Tom Petty to Neil Young, many other musicians warned Trump for taking advantage of his art.
