Trump Campaign Trolls Foo Fighters Over Use Of ‘My Hero’ Song At Rally: “It’s Times Like These Facts Matter”


A Donald Trump spokesman hit back at Foo Fighters after the band complained about their hit "My Hero" being played at a weekend rally without its consent.

“My Hero” blared on the PA during a rally with new endorsee Robert Kennedy Jr. in the swing state of Arizona on Friday, and the band made its distaste — and lack of approval — known soon afterward. Signatories of that letter included the Stones, Elton John, Aerosmith, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Green Day, Jason Isbell, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Rosanne Cash, Alanis Morissette, Courtney Love, Linkin Park, Lykke Li, Train and Lionel Richi, Lorde, Sia and Regina Spektor. It rests in the message of hope in the songs of a man so many young Americans admire: New Jersey’s own Bruce Springsteen.” The Boss, who was rising the Born in the U.S.A. wave and among the world’s top acts at the time, made it quite clear he didn’t dig that.
