Johnny Marr also complained when former British prime minister David Cameron said one of Marr's songs was his favorite

That explains the cultist crowd on here.  Low IQs attract low IQs.

Love this for them.

75 million people don’t. And thats what scares them. Democracy!  

[Engorgeous George 2,245]

Seems to me Mr. Marr is well within his rights if Trump's campaign has not paid for the use of the songs.  If the campaign has paid for the use Mr. Marr can still criticize Trump but he cannot object to Trump using property he paid for.

 

It seems to me this issue has come up in the past.  I seem to femember Springstein objecting to the use of one of his songs.  Fleetwood Mac as well.

The lowest of the low in our country.  75M uneducated Billy Bobs who subjugate themselves to an orange moron.

And you're right, having that many stupid, childlike, easily influenced cult members is downright scary.

The Smiths are low T betas and so is anyone that listens to them. Whoever chose it for Trump should be fired.

Not everyone hates as you do, or as those like you do.

Hate is yours....and I leave it to you and the rest of the leftists....

Hate is really just self abuse.

The one surviving member of The Village People still silent on the issue.

What emotion do you think those cultist at Trump rallies who scream nonstop "F the media" to the media are feeling?  How about when they lift up their own young children and have them curse out the media?

Just lol at your selective indignation. 

SAD

They tried to blame suicides on heavy metal. I’d say if music can make it happen, the Smiths are exhibit A.

They were cutting edge as far as UK alternative rock and indie rock bands of the early 80s were concerned.

They were the darlings of US college radio stations and alt rock stations like KROQ in L.A. but never found an audience on this side of the pond.

From Wiki:

Legacy[edit]

The Smiths have been widely influential. Ian Youngs of BBC News described them as "the band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since the Beatles".^[135] Marr's guitar playing "was a huge building block for more Manchester legends that followed the Smiths", including the Stone Roses, whose guitarist John Squire said Marr was an influence.^[136] The Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher also cites the Smiths as an influence, especially Marr. Gallagher said that "when the Jam split, the Smiths started, and I totally went for them."^[137] The singer Davey Havok of AFI cites the Smiths as an influence.^[138] The Smiths were an early influence on Radiohead,^[139] and in 2001 Marr said Radiohead were the act that had "come closest to the genuine influence of the Smiths".^[140]

[...]

Rolling Stone included four Smiths albums on its 2012 list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time",^[54] and included "William, It Was Really Nothing" and "How Soon Is Now?" on its 2004 list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".^[146] Morrissey is included in its 2010 list of the greatest singers.^[147] In 2014 and 2015, the Smiths were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.^[148][149]

That's right. Because they suck.

Maybe the campaign has a spotify account and that song is on the playlist.

Generally, the venues pay the money well in advance.  For example, the Louisiana Superdome pays all the royalty fees to the music labels every year.  If someone holds an even at the Superdome, they're allowed to use the library of which they paid.  If that's what happened, there's nothing Marr or any other communist (sorry, Freudian slip), person, can do about it.  Now, if it's an event that Trump has his house, or a venue which has not paid such fees, then Marr and his fellow communists (darn it, did it again, sorry), cohorts, have a legitimate complaint and have the right to tell him to not use their songs.

I think someone chose that song as a troll

Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad

So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time

Trump has turned into the anti-christ and is begging to get back in power again.

I've often wondered why some left leaning politician has not licensed REO Speedwagon's Golden County for their rallies.

When I hear this droning shitt from the smiths I think of Blutarski smashing that guitar in animal house and I want to do that.

Unity!

Fuk the Smiths, and especially Morrissey. They sucksucksuck. Although What Time is Now is a decent song.

But I fully support an artist not wanting their art used in ways that are contrary to their own ideology.
