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 bands frontman Mick Jagger finally commented on why the band and its team couldnt prevent the use of their songs on Trumps 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.
The Trump campaign has long played Rolling Stones songs at its campaign stops, with You Cant Always Get What You Want becoming Trumps de facto campaign song. (The song played directly following Trumps speech accepting the Republican nomination at the GOP convention in Cleveland, and it has been reported that Trump personally picks the music on the playlist.)
In February, Rolling Stones spokeswoman Fran Curtis told The Daily Beast that the band was not asked for permission to use the songs. In May, the band again asked Team Trump to knock it off, once again to no avail. But, as The Rolling Stones now publicly admit, there is very little they can do if Trump wants to continue to make their work part of his presidential campaign.
