Kenny Loggins Wants 'Danger Zone' Removed From AI 'King Trump' Truth Social Video
Source: The Wrap
Kenny Loggins says he wants his song Danger Zone removed from Donald Trumps weekend AI-generated Truth Social post that shows the president dumping feces on No Kings protestors from a jet labeled King Trump.
This is an unauthorized use of my performance of Danger Zone. Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately, Loggins said in a Monday statement.
I cant imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together, he continued. Were all Americans, and were all patriotic. There is no us and them thats not who we are, nor is it what we should be. Its all of us. Were in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.

The Top Gun hit is also not the first song to be featured in a Trump-sanctioned capacity without its performers approval. Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, Isaac Hayes, The White Stripes, ABBA and Céline Dion have all condemned his use of their music at his campaign stops and in his political ads, to varying degrees.

(40,458 posts)Okay, I do like Google's "AI overview" which I've found to be mostly accurate & pretty thorough, but it's just a better search engine, not AI.

It is AI. GenAI, the most harmful type.
And it uses 10x the electricity of regular search.
Please don't use it.

(1,056 posts)have the Repubs or Trump honored the laws of "Intellectual Property".......especially with music they un-lawfully use, or when Melania plagarized Michelle's speech........
Under these Republicans, nothing belongs to any of us, Everything belongs to Trump, Republicans, and Corporations...........
THAT is just the way it is in a: FASCIST CORPORATE TYRANNY/DICTATORSHIP.........

(722 posts)The ownership of the song "Danger Zone" is split between the original composers and the publisher that holds the rights to one of the co-writers' catalogs.
Giorgio Moroder composed the music, and Tom Whitlock wrote the lyrics.
I wonder if Ken has a leg to stand on, legally

(1,942 posts)If the song was acquired through the publisher, not much Loggins can do. If it was taken without authorization, it will take a lot of money for litigation. So much so, not even a Go Fund Me will reach the full affordability goal. White Stripes gave up because of the same monetary problem.

loved it. He responded with stuff like
"So you'd be OK if we shit on your parade?"
"Didn't trump know a third of the people were republicans that voted for him?"
Can't remember everything he said.
