Huff Post: R.E.M. Considers Legal Action To Stop Trump From Using The Band’s Songs
Bassist Mike Mills derided Trump after two of the group’s songs were played at the president’s latest reelection rally.
R.E.M. has asked Donald Trump’s campaign to stop using its songs before, but now a couple of their songs were back on the playlist at Trump’s latest rally.
We are aware that the President* @realDonaldTrump continues to use our music at his rallies. We are exploring all legal avenues to prevent this, but if that’s not possible please know that we do not condone the use of our music by this fraud and con man.
