The president used the song that brought fame to the artist after the release of the movie “Top Gun”.
The video was published by Trump himself / Collage UNIAN / ScreenshotsAmerican singer Kenny Loggins strongly condemned the use of his iconic song “Danger Zone” in an artificially generated video published by US President Donald Trump.
As the Mirror points out, the reason for the outrage was a publication on the platform Truth Social, where a politician in a crown flies a military plane and “bombards” protesters with excrement to the sound of the hit from the movie “Top Gun”. The video appeared against the background of large-scale “No Kings” actions, in which about seven million Americans opposed the restriction of civil liberties.
The artist urged not to use music as a tool of separation, because Americans should now look for ways of unity, not opposition:
“This is an unauthorized use of my song ‘Danger Zone’. No one asked for my consent – and even if they had, I would not have given it. I demand that my performance be removed from this video immediately.”
Kenny Loggins is not the first musician to protest against the use of his compositions by politicians. Previously, Ozzy Osbourne, Steven Tyler, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Brandon Urie and ABBA have also publicly banned Trump from using their music in his campaigns.
