.WOODY GUTHRIE’S “machine” gotten rid of fascists– or so America’s great dust-bowl balladeer wrote on his acoustic guitar. Jack White’s power machine “files suit fascists”, wrote the frontman of The White Lines on Instagram on September 9th. The “fascist” is actually Donald Trump, that recently made use of the band’s most popular song, “Seven Country Soldiers”, in a project online video.
Mr White desires him to stop. He joins a lengthy list of artists that object to Mr Trump using their songs: Abba, Celine Dion, Beyoncu00e9, Foo Fighters, the real estates of Isaac Hayes and also Sinu00e9ad O’Connor as well as Johnny Marr of The Smiths– and those are actually merely the objectors coming from this year. (We’ve assembled a playlist of Trump-appropriated tracks.) Can they switch the popular music off?
