Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is incurable and terminal. There is no cure. It’s so viral and contagious that people who should be proud that a work of their art is being used, harmlessly, are offended. It only proves that the artists have no heart. Nancy Wilson, who with her sister Ann, are the founders of the band Heart have their knickers in a wad because the song “Barracuda” was played during the Army 250 Parade in Washington, D.C..
Protection of Intellectual Property is important to ensure that creators get credit and paid for their work. We are big believers in that concept. That’s why musicians and other artists license their work through organizations. Whether you want to use a whole song or just a sample getting clearances can save you from a lawsuit. I am sure both President Donald Trump and those in the staff offices for the U.S. Army are well aware of these legal hurdles.

Now Heart is all upset because “Donald Trump” used their song. It’s all about “Barracuda” again. From NJ.com:
