Meanwhile…
The White House is playing "Live and Let Die" before Trump's arrival at a thinly disguised campaign event in Ohio that the state's governor cannot attend because he just came down with Covid-19, the disease that killed over 1,400 Americans yesterday. pic.twitter.com/AGumBfSFb8

Interesting musical choice. Maybe someone in the campaign just decided to go full throttle ironic. “Fuck it, they can fire me, I don’t give a shit anymore.”
A number of musicians (Neil Young, Roling Stones) have demanded the Trump campaign to stop using their songs at his events. Given the delicious irony of its use here, I could see McCartney letting this playing of Live and Let
Die slide…
It was the Guns ‘n’ Roses version of that song that was playing when Trump toured the mask-making facility recently…the one that had to scrap the day’s production because Trump refused to wear a mask in the production areas. In that instance it was assumed that the song was just an unfortunate coincidence, but to make the deliberate decision to play it now is fucking cold.
That drum beat at the end, was it the intro to a Michael Jackson song? Now that would be ironic given that Jackson was masked-up in public long before anybody else.
