Foo Fighters Will Donate 'My Hero' Royalties From Trump Rally To Harris-Walz

That's how it's done.

The Foo Fighters should change the lyrics to make them laugh at Trump.

Make this associated to Trump, ridiculing Trump and make a hit.

Mr Takei, you have the exposure to get the Foo Fighters's attention and it is a noble cause.

@georgetakei Dave Grohl has been the President of the Universe Which Does Not Suck for quite a while, so this is the move I'd expect.
Also, fuckin' Dave Grohl !!!
@georgetakei That's a lovely sentiment if the Trump campaign actually pays the royalties. They are not known for paying their debts.

@rebelyn2 @georgetakei
I think they mean all royalties they collect for the song - not just Trump's use. (Of course Trump's organization is not going to pay.)

The unfortunate aspect of this is that it will reveal how little artists get paid for streaming content.

@georgetakei Dave Grohl is My Hero. Also, his mom was my public speaking teacher in the 12th grade. True story: She would come into class and play like 15 seconds of some bootleg Nirvana recording, and then continue with class. Badasses don't fall far from the tree.
@briankrebs @georgetakei Tom Morello's mom was my high school social studies teacher. She was badass.
@georgetakei There's another option. Maybe whoever now owns Elvis's music can let Trump use "Jailhouse Rock".
