I seriously hope that Brian and Roger are at this moment speaking to all the necessary parties about how to tell Donald HeWhoCannot amed to cease and desist from using their iconic song. Cease and desist were not really the first words that came to my mind, but if Eber can be discreet, then so can I. From Rolling Stone:Why Politicians Keep Using Songs Without Artists' Permission
Inside the recurring controversy over campaign music By Steve Knopper July 9, 2015 Read more: www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-politicians-keep-using-songs-without-artists-permission-20150709#ixzz4B0HXdaKY This is interesting. So if "he who should not be named" is having an event where one of these licenses are issued and Queen is part of a songwriters' association associated with the license, it is possible for his team to use the music whether the originating artists like it or not. This is bad news. I hope Queen puts out a disclaimer about use of their music by this person and tries to stop use by this political campaign, license or not. 'This person' appears to have a propensity for pissing artists off. Queen would join quite a list, including Adele, Neil Young, Elton John, REM, and The Rolling Stones. www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/adele-and-other-musicians-angry-at-politicians-using-their-songs/

It's kind of hilariously amazing how insulted I am by HeWhoCannot amed using that song. It's not even my favorite Queen song.

I wonder if Adam's tweet was prompted by the use of WATC. I certainly hope Queen expresses their opinion on the matter promptly.

What I love about this statement is the opening. While I'm not firmly educated
Most celebrities are not educated and play like they are! Become belligerent about their views and are very vocal about it being the only right way. Adam simply and quite elegantly states his opinion.
