CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

June 24, 2020 JMG Community, Open Thread

Billboard Magazine reports:

Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie has joined the list of artists asking Donald Trump to stop playing their music at his rallies, requesting that “High Hopes” be removed from the President’s playlist. Urie posted his plea on Twitter, addressing a note to the Trump campaign after “High Hopes” was reportedly blasted at the half-empty arena during last weekend’s Tulsa rally.

“Dear Trump Campaign, F–k you. You’re not invited. Stop playing my song,” Urie wrote. Urie’s four-letter plea comes on the heels of action from Tom Petty’s family, which issued a statement shortly after the heavily hyped, poorly attended event, slamming Trump for playing the late rocker’s “I Won’t Back Down” in Tulsa, which was accompanied by a cease-and-desist notice.

Dear Trump Campaign,

Fuck you. You’re not invited. Stop playing my song.

No thanks,
Brendon Urie, Panic! At The Disco & company.

Dear Everyone Else,

Donald Trump represents nothing we stand for. The highest hope we have is voting this monster out in November.

Please do your part: https://t.co/JX8GynZduq
