Trump Plays Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” At RNC Despite Ban

Newly official Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump seems to have made an enemy out of many of the bands he’s chosen to feature at his Republican National Convention appearances, first Queen, and now the Rolling Stones.

Trump was strongly dissuaded from using Queen’s “We Are the Champions” following his convention speech on Wednesday, a warning which he did not heed. This time, he’s used the Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” despite requests from the band back in May that Trump “cease all use immediately.”

A source close to the Stones told NME, “This is unlikely to go further. We asked politely, Trump has ignored us.” Brian May, lead guitarist of Queen, has shared a similar story, urging Trump not to use his song but being ignored.

To add insult to injury (literally), this controversy occurs even in light of the fact that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards reportedly once pulled a knife on the controversial businessman-turned-politician back in 1989, when Trump sponsored a Stones show on their “Steel Wheels” tour in Atlantic City, under the condition that Trump couldn’t make an appearance or publicize the sponsorship beyond putting his name on the gig.
