WASHINGTON, (APP/AFP) – It seems Donald Trump
believes you can always get what you want. The US Republican presumptive presidential nominee appears to have dismissed a demand by the The Rolling Stones that he stop using the band’s songs during his campaign events.
“You know, we use so many songs,” Trump told CNBC. “We have the
rights to use them. I always buy the rights.”
Trump has frequently used hits by The Rolling Stone’s to fire up
supporters at campaign events, but the band have joined a growing number of musicians who have expressed anger at his use of their music.
“The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign
to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately,” the legendary rock group said in a statement on Wednesday.
But Trump doubled down on The Rolling Stones’ music as he wrapped up
a rally in Charleston, West Virginia on Thursday, his first since dispatching his last Republican presidential rivals.
He walked off stage to John Denver’s “Almost Heaven” blaring from the
public address system, which was followed up by The Rolling Stones hits “Start Me Up” and “You Can’t Always Get What you Want”.
