Young, Fogerty and Collins are among several musicians who are objecting to their songs being used at President Donald Trump's campaign rallies. The Trump campaign can hardly play a song without the artist denouncing its use and sending a cease-and-desist letter. “I did not write it for that.”That feeling that they've been drafted onto Team Trump clearly fuels many artists' anger. “It’s not a great look for the artists, if their music is aligned with something seen as unsafe,” Kaufman said. “Courts have recognized that that could be an implied endorsement.”The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

(AP) The Rolling Stones are threatening President Donald Trump with legal action for using their songs at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives.

The Rolling Stones 1969 classic You Cant Always Get What You Want was a popular song for his events. Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind. The Canadian-born musician admonished Trump for using his 1990 single, Rockin in the Free World, in spite of earlier warnings.

Its apt, because LeBlanc grew up idolizing rock musicians like Young and Tom Petty, though much of LeBlancs musical output has been in the folk/Americana vein.

While in Houston for a concert at White Oak Music Hall, LeBlanc (with The Pollies) visited Houston Public Media to record the songs Bang Bang Bang, and the title track from the album Renegade.
