Mick Jagger on Trump Using Stones Songs: I Cant Stop Him

After months and multiple statements issued by The Rolling Stones expressing displeasure at the use of their music at Donald Trump rallies, the rock n’ roll band’s frontman Mick Jagger finally commented on why the band and its team couldn’t prevent the use of their songs on Trump’s campaign playlist.

“So Patty, asked me about Donald Trump using Stones music, and we [previously] said, like, ‘Don't use our music,’” Jagger said on a Rolling Stones Twitter Q&A on Wednesday afternoon. “So, the thing is, when you appear in America...if you're in a public place like Madison Square Garden or a theater, you can play any music you want, and you can't be stopped. So, if you write a song and someone plays it in a restaurant that you go to, you can't stop them. They can play what they want.”

and be a Trump supporter in that these great musicians and geniuses dont want you as their fan if you support that vile prick.

Roger Waters, David Gilmour, I could go on and on.
