Oh, For Fuckssake Already REPUBLICANS PLEASE STOP USING ROCK SONGS FOR YOUR CAMPAIGNS!!!

I mentioned it the other day, but here's a nice encapsulation of the long history of musicians asking politicians to please stop playing their music:

It’s occurred essentially every cycle at least since Ronald Reagan used “Born in the U.S.A.,” much to Bruce Springsteen’s dissatisfaction, in 1984.

1. Springsteen objected to Reagan’s use of the song “Born in the U.S.A.” during the 1984 election.
2. Reagan also got dinged in 1984 by John Cougar Mellencamp for “Pink Houses.”
3. Bobby McFerrin objected to George H.W. Bush using the song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” in 1988.
4. Sam & Dave objected to Bob Dole using the song “Soul Man” in 1996.
5. Springsteen objected to Dole using “Born in the U.S.A.” in 1996.
6. Mellencamp didn’t grant any more leeway to George W. Bush than to Reagan. Mellencamp complained when Bush used “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.” in 2000.
7. Tom Petty objected to Bush using the song “I Won’t Back Down” in 2000.
8. That same election, Sting objected to Bush using “Brand New Day.”
9. In a rare bit of bipartisanship in 2000, Sting also objected to Al Gore using “Brand New Day.”
10. John Hall of the band Orleans objected to Bush using the song “Still the One” during his re-election campaign in 2004.
11. Boston objected to Mike Huckabee using “More Than a Feeling” in 2008.
12. Van Halen objected to John McCain using “Right Now” in 2008.
13. Mellencamp is back! He complained about McCain using “Our Country” in 2008.
14. In the same election, Mellencamp had a problem with McCain using the song “Pink Houses.”
15. Heart objected to McCain using “Barracuda.”
16. Jackson Browne objected to McCain using “Running on Empty.”
17. Bon Jovi objected to McCain using “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”
18. The Foo Fighters stopped McCain from playing “My Hero.”
19. Tom Petty objected to McCain using “I Won’t Back Down.”
20. ABBA complained about McCain using “Take a Chance on Me.”
21. Sam Moore of Sam & Dave objected to Barack Obama using “Hold On, I’m Coming” during the 2008 election.
22. Survivor objected to Newt Gingrich using the song “Eye of the Tiger” in 2012.
23. Gingrich also was dinged by The Heavy for “How You Like Me Now.”
24. Also in 2012, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister objected to Mitt Romney using “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
25. Silversun Pickups stopped Romney from playing “Panic Switch.”
26. K’Naan objected to Romney using the song “Wavin’ Flag.”
27. Survivor objected to Romney using “Eye of the Tiger.”
28. Tom Petty complained about Michele Bachmann using “American Girl” in 2012.
29. Katrina and the Waves objected to Bachmann playing “Walking on Sunshine.”
30. And finally, now we have Young’s complaint about Trump’s use of “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
