FOO FIGHTERS Denounce DONALD TRUMP's Use Of 'My Hero' At Rally, Will Donate Any Royalties To KAMALA HARRIS Campaign
FOO FIGHTERS have denounced the unauthorized use of their song "My Hero" at a Donald Trump rally on Friday (August 23). The former U.S. president introduced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the FOO FIGHTERS track at an Arizona campaign rally, just hours after the independent presidential candidate suspended...
You're viewing a single thread.
They did this for McCains campaign also I believe. It all equates to nothing as one time public playing of a recording amounts to nearly nothing in royalties, and nobody magically decided they were/weren't voting for a candidate based on hearing Foo Fighters in the background.
As a sidenote, the Foo Fighters have probably 30+ songs that are better than "My Hero" so why is that one played so damn much?
Because 90% of people only recognize the chorus of most songs, or even just a few words from the chorus.
Republicans in particular have a history of using 'Born on the 4th of July' even though the entire song is very critical of American society. The chorus, alone, isolated from context, seems to be about patriotism though!
Similarly, My Hero has a chorus about My Hero, so when played near Trump, that means he is their hero. Don't think about the rest of the lyrics, they don't matter.
Or "Keep in rocking in a free world"
There are a substantial amount of Republicans that think RATM is raging against what they are raging against.
All they heard was 'Fuck you I won't do what you tell me' and ... well literally none of any of their other lyrics apparently.

"Those who work forces are the same who burn crosses" is just pointing out the cops are on my side.
I live in the south and ended up seeing a southern rock band a month ago. Literally waving flags as part of their set..They finished one song by riffing on killing in the name and the crowd ate it up and I was like uhhhhhhhh
Because of "Aim for the bushes"
My Hero is their best song though.
