"The Smiths' Guitarist Demands Trump Cease Using Band's Music at Rallies"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump has been playing The Smiths' song "Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want" at his campaign rallies, prompting guitarist Johnny Marr to express dismay and vow to "shut this s*** down." However, musicians often have limited control over politicians using their music due to licensing agreements, and it's unlikely that Marr can prevent Trump from using the song. While some bands may benefit from politicians using their music, the issue raises questions about the intersection of music and politics.
