I know for a fact that that's a lie because it would require him to provide actual goods or services in exchange for money
Matt Gaetz says he does it free sometimes if he’s zooted enough
Isaac Hayes, R.E.M., Guns N’ Roses and Neil Young:
Get in line, we've already sued.
Pretty sure that's not even all of them.
Here's a list.. still not sure if it is everyone.

I didn't know See Also and References had a musical career.
I hear you, this was news to me - taken from the Wikipedia article on all the rightfully pissed off artists:
In May 2020, Axl Rose opposed the use of the Guns N' Roses cover of the Paul McCartney and Wings song "Live and Let Die" in a meatpacking plant where Trump refused to take the COVID-19 pandemic precaution of wearing a mask. In response, Rose created shirts with the phrase "Live N’ Let Die With COVID 45", with all proceeds going to the MusiCares charity.
Oh my goodness, that is quite a list! Thank you for sharing.
GnR, I have to admit that one surprises me.
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
...
Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
...
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
...
And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Excerpts from Civil War, "Use Your Illusion II", Guns & Roses, 1991
I lacked the experience to understand an album I loved when it was released. Only much later in life did I pay attention to the lyrics and artists' intent.
Because they’re old white rocker guys they must be MAGA conservatives?
Remember Kanye endorsed Trump last time around.
I listen to a morning radio show with grandpa rockers who regularly talk about their glory days with hookers and cocaine and they abhor Trump and the GOP in general.
Crazy how you can be president of the United States and not know a damn thing about the law
That's giving them too much credit. They know what they're doing. They win the now. Everything else can catch up later.
Why obeying law if no one does anything about it.
