The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Pearl Jam and more than 60 other artists are calling for politicians to stop using their music without permission
and Lykke Li. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards signed individually. Steven Tyler is on board as a signatory both under his own name and Aerosmith’s.
Kalo says that ARA staff and the ARA board drafted the letter, “consulting with experienced managers and industry lawyers who have been following this issue for years. Manager and lawyer Bertis Downs has a longstanding interest in this issue and was instrumental in providing us feedback.” This is not a new problem. Or a partisan one. Every election cycle brings stories of artists and songwriters frustrated to find their work being used in settings that suggest endorsement or support of political candidates without their permission or consent.
More importantly, falsely implying support or endorsement from an artist or songwriter is dishonest and immoral. It undermines the campaign process, confuses the voting public, and ultimately distorts elections. It should be anathema to any honest candidate to play off this kind of uncertainty or falsely leave the impression of an artist’s or songwriter’s support.
