The family of Tom Petty has issued a formal cease and desist letter to the Donald Trump campaign over its use of his song I Won’t Back Down at a rally in Tulsa on 20 June.
They affirmed that the late musician and his family “firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind. Tom Petty would not want a song of his used for a campaign of hate. he liked to bring people together.” Petty died in 2017 of an accidental drug overdose, with a mix of prescription painkillers, sedatives and an antidepressant being found in his system.
Yahoo do you ever stop can be the fakest news online I think cnn is still first place.. Wow, JUST now yahoo, still claiming the eskimo pie is racist and still pushing zoomer teenagers are at fault for smaller trump rally crowd PATHETIC Yahoo More fakenews yahoo
The stones tried that, too.
If Trump's team posts any rally videos using Tom Petty's music without permission Twitter should block ads. Like they blocked Jose Andres.
busysowingseeds Maybe he can use Up With People?
Question is, will he back down?
maybe he could request to use the song 'free falling'
I love that song!! They play it at the end of the third quarter at UF football games!!!!
This happened in past rallies too. Trump doesn’t care. His attitude is sue me!
Now the other artists or their estates need to do the same.... celinedion NeilYoungNYA michaeljackson
There goes the last DJ (Donald John). 👋
falatoradio Trump won’t cease and desist, law and order for everyone else.
Funny, the article says the arena for the rally was 'estimated to be two thirds full'. It was actually confirmed to be more like 1/3 capacity. 🤣
Sorry they have no say.
Tom Petty to Trump: Don’t Come Around Here No More
Irony? Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were proud to fly the Rebel Flag at their shows.
realDonaldTrump just getting bitch slapped from beyond the grave by the only human being who has ever been more Petty than POTUS
Petty (estate ) won’t back down!
Hooray! Don't ever want to be somewhere and hear an artists song, affiliated with Trump!
Heartbreaker
Trump is so sad that even Tom Petty hates him from the grave.
I’d vote for Tom Perry’s corpse before voting for Trump.
Don't come around here no more?
Was it Sally's last dance?
