Last week, Donald Trump held a rally where he announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be joining his campaign.
When Trump introduced Kennedy to the crowd, the Foo Fighters “My Hero” was playing
This would be the start of a bit of an internet feud.
We Have the Rights
When the song was being played, there was outrage on X over the Foo Fighters “giving” Trump permission to play the song.
Naturally, someone posted, asking the band if they gave Trump permission.
The band immediately responded that it had not given permission, and that it would be seeking legal action.
A spokesperson for the band stated, “Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were, they would not have granted it.”
The spokesperson added that “appropriate actions are being taken” against the Trump campaign.
Well, Trump did not need permission to play the song because his campaign had purchased a license to play the song on BMI’s Songview service.
Trump supporters went ballistic, with podcaster Nick Sorter stating, “Foo Fighters LIED about Trump not having permission to use ‘My Hero’ while introducing RFK Jr.
“Trump should SUE these leftist hacks for defamation.”
Perhaps next time you make a stand against the bad orange man, you might want to research if you actually own the rights to your own song.
The state of this country has gotten so pathetic in terms of people being so easily offended over the bad orange man.
And the pressure put on entertainers to call him out is getting utterly ridiculous.
Believe it or not, it is okay to be conservative, but you would never know it by the way these people act.
