The hosts clarify the legalities of playing music at political rallies, noting that campaigns with proper ASCAP or BMI licenses cannot be forbidden from playing specific songs. While artists often complain publicly, they have little legal recourse under copyright law, though they may attempt to sue under the Lanham Act or right of publicity.

The Donald Trump campaign reportedly updated its event music, moving away from the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in favor of high-energy sports anthems. This change follows public criticism regarding the previous song's potentially insulting message to voters. The shift is viewed as an attempt to create a more "hyped" atmosphere at rallies as the primary season progresses.

Taylor Swift removed her entire music catalog from Spotify in November 2014, a move characterized as a sophisticated publicity tsunami. The strategy mirrors the "wave theory" of PR attributed to Adam Osborne, which suggests effectiveness requires a massive, simultaneous burst of media presence. Swift's appearances on the Today Show and Good Morning America coincided with the streaming exit to maximize her brand value and album sales.

President Barack Obama utilized the Bruce Springsteen song "We Take Care of Our Own" during a campaign stop in Nevada. The song's lyrics, which reference "knocking on the door that holds the throne" and the absence of the cavalry during crises, have drawn scrutiny for their symbolic meaning. The track was released in 2012 and has become a staple of the administration's re-election events.
