Trump’s Use of “Nothing Compares 2 U” at Rallies (O’Connor Estate Condemns)

https://pitchfork.com/new...t-rallies/

How does it work? do they pay royalties for this to Sinead and Prince?

Or, do they need permision to play this?

I, have no idea no this works...

Anyone?

Please, dont make this a Biden-Trump bash, nor a Sinead bash.

Are they are on the same ticket this go round?

It's like that Bill Hicks bit,

"I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs,

Well, I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.
Hey, wait, there's one guy holding up both puppets..."

Thats the kind of thinking that leads to qanon and conspiracy theorists and fake news etc etc
All stuff i imagine prince wouldve been into actually (providing it fit his beliefs)

Prince clearly was leaving his jw believes more in the background.

Good for him imho.

It made him more believable and more human.

With age (suppose to) come wisdom.

But I'm sure he would NOT agree on Trump's camp using "Nothing Compares 2 U."

Why does Spicer and sorts not compalain about that on X or elsewhere?

Not interested or what?

Taking care of a legacy is also taking care of THAT.

Just waiting for a political party to mis-appropriate Black MF In The House from the NPG Gold Nigga album:

“He ain't been N the club 5 minutes
B4 6 or 7 cuss words
Flyin' out his mouth ("Fuck U")
Hand all on his erection
Makin' rude gestures
N ur girl's direction
& don't U hate it
When they get up & dance?
U don't watch "Soul Train"
U ain't got a chance
What the hell they got 2 come here 4?
("Hell, don't know Cliff")
Next time we need a big white sign
At the door that says...”

They’d probably not realise the real message:

“Stop racism now!“
There may or may not be something coming!
