Title: The O’Jays slam Donald Trump and use of song ‘Love Train’ during Republican National Convention

R&B group The O'Jays are decrying the use of their song "Love Train" during the Republican National Convention, including a version remixed as "Trump Train," without the consent of the band.

Founding members Eddie Levert and Walter Williams said in a statement Thursday that they were asked to appear at the convention in Cleveland, but rejected the offer and said the candidacy of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was "divisive and at odds with the overriding message of their song."

Williams said he didn't appreciate being associated with Trump, while Levert went further and said, "I think he just may be the anti-Christ."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, however, said they were willing to be a part of the upcoming Democratic National Convention.

Translation: Give us some money and the decrying will stop.

The real puzzler for me is - why did Trump use the Rod Stewart/Faces song "Stay With Me", a song about a hooker?

In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause I'll only kick you out of the door

I know your name is Rita
Cause your perfume smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor

WTF was up with that?

In other news, The O'jays wiped car windshields for a couple of bucks and then bought some crack.

Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president

I believe when it comes to intellectual property like music, the owner cannot discriminate among interested buyers. Just as when selling anything else on the market, whomever is willing to pay has the right to buy. If I'm right on that, the O'Jays have no standing to prevent use of their music at the convention.

Glad you're up date on such matters. Although I would say there are a lot of losers like you still buying crack.

Bought cheap heroin, maybe?

In any event, they are has been losers.

I thought it was interesting when Michael Jackson outbid Paul McCartney for the rights to Beatles songs.

They smile in your face, all the time they wanna take your place.

Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.

They got music abilities and they got women, more than anything you ever had. Young or old.

No? Not into any drugs. I'm just not a try-hard unfunny idiot like you who's stuck in the 70's. :dunno:
