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.

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. – Capturing the joy of a snow day, Christiansburg High School announced that school would be closed Tuesday with a music video that is now becoming a local sensation. It’s a spin on the Phil Collins hit, “In the Air Tonight.”The music video was created by the high school principal, Tony Diebler, and high school student, Kolby Brown. The principal has created snow day videos in the past by adapting lyrics to well-known songs and recruiting students to join in on the fun. He cuts the videos and releases them on upcoming snow days, and this his first of the decade has already been viewed nearly 6,000 times.
