George Harrison Told The RNC Off From Beyond The Grave
Ford, sure. Trump, no. Even dead rock stars want Trump to cut the shit and stop using their music. George Harrison’s estate didn’t feel the enthusiasm when Ivanka Trump strolled out to introduce her rotting naranja father accompanied by the The Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun” at the RNC this past week.

The unauthorized use of #HereComestheSun at the #RNCinCLE is offensive & against the wishes of the George Harrison estate.

Harrison’s the Beatle that penned the famous tune. The caretakers of his memory obviously feel that George wouldn’t be supportive of a candidate who chooses to disingenuously pronounce “LGBTQ“ for the very first time on national television without rehearsing it first. Dude looked like the teleprompter had suddenly started scrolling Mandarin. His Cockwork Orange ass HATES the Chinese! The second dead Beatle’s camp went on to recommend another song of George’s for the GOP to use instead.
If it had been Beware of Darkness, then we MAY have approved it! #TrumpYourself

The Trump campaign has also been told to fuck off by The Rolling Stones for using “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” and the surviving members of Queen for neglecting to secure permission to use “We Are The Champions” at the convention. They’ve also irritated Adele for using “Skyfall” and “Rolling in the Deep,” Neil Young for using “Rockin’ in the Free World,” Aerosmith for “Dream On,” and R.E.M for “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” at past campaign events. Mike Mills of R.E.M. was not amused. Twisted Sister later revoked the ok to use “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” You might want to switch musical genres when even Dee Snider snatches his song back from you.
And speaking of things I wish could be taken back, I wish I could taken back seeing this:
