re: Foo Fighters donating all

I don’t understand why anybody in the entertainment industry would alienate their fan base. Entertain us and STFU. But then again that shows how the leftist mind works. Piss on you, we know what’s best for you.

It's quite literally illusions of grandeur. They think that some degree of fame makes them better than they are.
When in fact, all they are, is a "dancing monkey" dancing for people's entertainment.
And as the old saying goes... Dance, monkey dance.

Now here is where OUR illusionment comes into play. Are they dancing for OUR entertainment, or for the entertainment of the political machine?

The answer to that, is by their words and deeds of who stands with who.
Most of these people work for the machine. People like Sly Stallone, and Mel Gibson, are with us.

I’m not against Trump or for Biden or Harris. And I’m willing to listen to any intelligent argument of why he is not wealthy or elite. But to ignore that he’s elite or rich is insane.

You sound like a bot arguing against itself. No one is claiming that he is poor and common. He comes from the social elites and is wealthy. WTF is your point? You don't have to like the man to vote against the marxism on the other side. Wake up.

Suntiger. Alright, then let's try to clear something up.
Let's please distinguish between elite, and elitist.

As this is where the majority of discord is going to come from. Those two words, which are often confused between each other.

You're saying that Trump is elite, due to his background... which in fairness, is absolutely true.
But... what is your stance on him being an elitist?

I’m not espousing support for one side or the other. I’m just pointing out people identify Trump as some self made blue-collar man when it’s exactly opposite. That’s what I don’t understand.

how many times are you going to spout this nonsense. Not a single person thinks of Trump as some blue collar man

Yet people talk like he’s the one who grew up in Oakland and worked his way up medial jobs before running for office

If memory serves and I’m sure someone else here can answer more correctly but there is no real way to tell how much a certain song played at a certain venues would be worth to the artist. My understanding is that all the money from all the songs is pooled and then distributed based upon a clandestine formula.

So IOW, Foo Fighters are taking out of their arse.

---

Not necessarily. What you're referring to is a music library where you sign away your licensing for a period of time, and people can use whatever they want either on a song by song basis or more commonly, a blanket subscription fee where they can pick and choose whatever they want.

Foo Fighters don't have their stuff in a library, those are low and mid-level artists that do that. They're a big enough name where they likely have control over their licensing along with the label. So, they could have denied this if they wanted.

They clearly granted it, because Trump's people wouldn't have been stupid enough to use it otherwise. Which makes me think that they probably approved the license, planned on using it to donate to the Harris campaign, and made a publicity stunt out of it to make Trump look bad and exonerate themselves of making money off of Trump.

Or it slipped through the cracks. Unlikely though. Just my two cents.

They should be tickled pink to have a boost of relevance. Their 90s sound aged about as well as the film The Lawnmower Man. No generational staying power whatsoever.

They’re just exercising their rights as citizens and owners of intellectual property.

As they support a system of taxation and confiscation of other people’s property.

Maybe his daughter will get to spend some lovely time with some of the mostly peaceful immigrants coming across the border. Apparently that's what it takes for dumbasses to pay attention
