That music from last night was ... not good.

I watched an interview with Wainwright last night and he was really upset :oops:

Rufus Wainwright ‘Mortified’ by Donald Trump Playing His ‘Hallelujah’ Cover at Rally: ‘Height of Blasphemy’​


Rufus Wainwright has joined the extensive list of musicians to condemn Donald J. Trump for using their music at a presidential campaign rally.

Wainwright slammed the Republican candidate for featuring his cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at town hall in Oaks, Pa. on Oct. 14. During the event, Trump was meant to participate in a Q-and-A segment with his audience. It turned into a makeshift listening party about half-way through as Trump stood on stage and played a series of songs. Wainwright’s “Hallelujah” was a part of that playlist.

“The song ‘Hallelujah’ by Leonard Cohen has become an anthem dedicated to peace, love and acceptance of the truth,” Wainwright said in a statement. “I’ve been supremely honored over the years to be connected with this ode to tolerance. Witnessing Trump and his supporters commune with this music last night was the height of blasphemy. Of course, I in no way condone this and was mortified, but the good in me hopes that perhaps in inhabiting and really listening to the lyrics of Cohen’s masterpiece, Donald Trump just might experience a hint of remorse over what he’s caused. I’m not holding my breath.”

I wondered about that. I also heard Sinead OConnor, who I also think wouldn't have been happy to be on his playlist.

This is paraphrasing but Maggie Haberman said last night that Trump's staff often uses music distractions to calm him down but she's never seen it done in public.
