Prince's estate asks President Trump to stop using Purple Rain

30 comments · 611 votes

Im waiting for the Golden Rain to be played. With or without subtitles. Heck. We wont even need the sound track.

He should really approach Green Day. I am sure they would let him use American Idiot

Maybe he could but Kanyes stuff is meaningless drivel so it wouldnt work very well at a political rally..... no wait its a Trump rally so it would be perfect

Trump does what he likes. Maybe his new rapper mate Kayne West can lend him some music.

trump stealing things...again. maga, yeah right!

Trump admin told to cease using it a while back now. Pretty sure they obliged.

Queen also asked the Trump admin. to stop using their music

Bruce Springsteen I think licences out his songs (and thusly cant legally stop Trump from using them) - Reagan for example ignored Springsteens requests. (as do many other artists from the Rolling Stones, R.E.M, Queen, George Harrison, Adele, Twisted Sister etc) Prince is kinda different - Prince has historically been very protective of his copyright (and not licensed the same) to the extent that this lawsuit will have much more weight.

Yes the Russian National anthem would be more appropriate!

Im sure Nugent would be over the moon if Trump adopted his classic Wang Dang Sweet Poontang as a rally theme. Just so fitting.

Poor old Trump. Unfortunately the republicans and trump have almost zero good music makers on their side. He can play Ted Nugent I guess.

The NZ Orange Voting mascot should consider instructing DT not to copy him.

Im pretty sure The Boss is laughing up his sleeve at their using this song as its hyper-critical of America and her policies, esprcially her military ones.. Of course, his base wont get that but any thinking person, hearing this played, would say WTH? How stupid are these people?.

So whats the story with the Stones and the use of âyou cant always get what you want❠being used at his rallies? surely Jagger and co would be the last people on earth to support such a divisive person?

The only people âdone❠were the Americans that voted for him,suckers!

And Queens We are the Champions, when it comes to trump, that is certainly not 1.

â˜Stranglehold would be better suited.

Producer: V. Putin...

No I watched a mid term Trump rally last week and they played a brief bit of the song as he ambled on to stage,its ruined the song for me!
