‘Height of blasphemy’

[Crepitus]

Always right. Never wrong. The left has no tolerance. Always calling people racist and all kinds of names.

Lol, this dude drank all the Kool-Aid.

 

[skye]

Not a chance. Democrats are natural born liars.

Yes they are.

 

[1srelluc]

Trump is a racist, bigot, and misogynist – no one wants to have anything to do with Trump’s hate.

And the sane want nothing to do with dem evil.

 

[Crepitus]

Clearly if bands can cover it, it is available to the public. I see no reference to anything that indicates wrong doing besides whining.

They have to ask permission.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

And the sane want nothing to do with dem evil.

Don't expect a response from that Cuck

 

[1srelluc]

Don't expect a response from that Cuck

It would just be shrouded in evil anyway.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Oh shut up

He was never any of that until he ran for president. I wasn't Trump that changed. Democrats became more twisted and far more evil.

Yep, right-leaners (well most sane people) have been dancing around the dem evil issue for far too long....Time to call them out for exactly what they are......Evil incarnate.....Every-Single-One of them.

The author who's family is now suing tRump?

LOL

Why do you feel the need to lie, especially when it contradicts your own OP. A cease and desist precedes a suit. And the claim the song is an anthem of peace, love and acceptance of truth is BS. Just read the lyrics, especially this last verse.

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Good thing I didn't.

Rufus Wainwright and Leonard Cohen estate oppose Trump use of Hallelujah​

Classic ballad was played during bizarre campaign event in which Trump told audience: ‘Let’s just listen to music’

The estate of Leonard Cohen has issued a cease and desist order to Donald Trump, after a recording of Rufus Wainwright singing Cohen’s song Hallelujah was played at a bizarre campaign event.

Wainwright has also condemned Trump’s use of the song at the town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania. The singer characterised Hallelujah as “an anthem dedicated to peace, love and acceptance of the truth. I’ve been supremely honoured over the years to be connected with this ode to tolerance. Witnessing Trump and his supporters commune with this music last night was the height of blasphemy. Of course, I in no way condone this and was mortified, but the good in me hopes that perhaps in inhabiting and really listening to the lyrics of Cohen’s masterpiece, Donald Trump just might experience a hint of remorse over what he’s caused. I’m not holding my breath.”

Co-opting a beautiful song like this for the MAGA movement is beyond blasphemy, it's downright grotesque. It's the opposite of everything trump stands for. A disgusting perversion of the music.

For those unfamiliar with the song, (hard to believe but there are bound to be a few) here is one of my favorite versions of it.

Hmmm, if that were a cake that a decorator worked for hours to make perfect and beautiful, he would have no way to prevent someone from using it for an obscene purpose. If someone walked in with the money to buy the cake, he could not prevent the sale.

Why should musical artists be held to a different standard? If they license their music to the public, they should also have no control over who uses it for whatever purpose.

 

[hadit]

The standard as given until now by democrats is that artists don't have the right to control how their art is used.

Copyright law.

 

[hadit]

Copyright law.

Copyright, meaning that no one can copy an artist's work and sell it as their own. In this case, someone pays the artist's license fee to use their art for their own purposes. They are not copying and selling it as their own.

Copyright, meaning that no one can copy an artist's work and sell it as their own.

No, there's more to it than that.

 

[hadit]

No, there's more to it than that.

The bottom line remains that it is not right, or fair, or anything else you want to say about it, that one artist is allowed to control the use of his/her art while another cannot and is in fact forced to create art when demanded he/she do so.

I love it when people proudly state that they don't know what they're talking about. At. All.

Uuhhhhh...

What?

How is that even applicable to this?
