Last week when Trump arrived in Wilmington, North Carolina for an appearance, The Animals classic 1964 hit “House of the Rising Sun” blared from the loudspeakers. The Animals’ Eric Burdon heard about that and is A-OK with that use of the traditional folk song his band made famous. From Burdon’s Instagram post:
Even though nobody asked my permission, I wasn’t surprised to learn that #Trump #864511320 used #HouseoftheRisingSun for his rally the other day…A tale of sin and misery set in a brothel suits him so perfectly!
Far more appropriate for this time in our history might be #WeGottaGetOutofThisPlace.
This is my answer #vote #saveourdemocracy #bidenharris2020
