More Music, More Music, More Music...

The New Yorker has noticed that rock artists don't like their music being used by Republicans.

There are many things to find befuddling about the internal mechanics of the Republican Party, but its insistence on deploying countercultural rock anthems to soundtrack its rallies—even now, after so many lawsuits—is especially flummoxing. But I suppose therein lies a truth: in this particular context, it doesn’t matter if there’s a staggering fissure between what a thing really means and what someone else wants it to mean. All that matters is that it sounds cool.

My own suspicion is that the assumption made by Republicans is that people absorb the choruses of songs and don't take the trouble to hear or know the lyrics.  But don't quote me.  Quote Bruce Springsteen on "Born in the U.S.A." instead.
