Iif Trump wants to use some rock music at his appearances, why not something like “In The Flesh” or “Run Like Hell” from The Wall? I’m sure Roger Waters wouldn’t care. ---

Waters seems to have slipped off his rocker a bit lately but I’m not as sure of that as you. ---

_Fletcher Memorial Home_ would be most appropriate for Trump, but not one likely to be chosen by the campaign. ---

The guitar is very Gilmour-ish? Seriously? In what way? It sounds absolutely not at all like Gilmour in any way. Not even like any iteration of Floyd that I know of. ---

What I wonder is, how do the “America First!” types get off using a song called “Seven Nation Army”? Who are these six other nations they’re willing to play nice with?!? ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > What I wonder is, how do the “America First!” types get off using a song called “Seven Nation Army”? > > Who are these six other nations they’re willing to play nice with?!? . They’re NOT willing to play nice. The Seven Nation Army is going to be ‘fought off’ by the defiant singer: _I’m gonna fight 'em off_ _A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back_ and _I’m goin’ to Wichita_ _Far from this opera forevermore_ _I’m gonna work the straw_ _Make the sweat drip out of every pore_ _And I’m bleedin’, and I’m bleedin’, and I’m bleedin’_ _Right before the Lord …_ I doubt if Jack White had so simplistic a message in mind as Trump’s people think they’re seeing. But they’re seeing Defiant Fighting-Off of bad people and they love that. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > I doubt if Jack White had so simplistic a message in mind as Trump’s people think they’re seeing. Jack White as a kid didn’t know what the Salvation Army was and misheard it as the Seven Nation Army, and imagined how amazing such an army would be. He remembered that youthful misinterpretation and it inspired the song. The lyrics are about being uncomfortable with fame and wanting to go somewhere that people will treat you like a normal person and not gossip about you or try to make scandals. Ironically, that would be Trump’s nightmare; he is addicted to fame and always wants attention and needs to be in the news. ---
