Trump Campaign Asserts Right to Use Foo Fighters’ ‘My Hero’ at Rally

The Trump campaign says it was given approval to use Foo Fighters' 'My Hero' at an Arizona rally.

On Friday, that included Foo Fighters, whose 1997 hit “My Hero” played at an Arizona campaign stop to welcome Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage. He also tweeted at the band, using their song titles to poke at Dave Grohl and co.: “It’s Times Like These facts matter, don’t be a Pretender,” he wrote, tagging Foo Fighters and linking to an article in the Independent about the licensing issue. Since the campaign’s rebuttal, the band reiterated that they did not authorize the use of “My Hero.” “Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and again, even if they had been, they would not have granted it,” a rep for the group told The Hill.
