Bad, entirely inappropriate, choice of songs for the bunker-bitch.

Tom Petty’s family is none too happy that President Donald Trump played “I Won’t Back Down” at his rally in Tulsa on Saturday and wants to make sure it never happens again. The family said it has sent a formal “cease and desist notice to the Trump campaign” so the song doesn’t get used in the same manner again.
In a letter posted on Twitter, Petty’s daughters Adria and Annakim as well as his ex-wife jane and his widow Dana Petty, said the president was “in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense left behind.” The legendary singer-songwriter, who died in 2017, “wrote this song for the underdog, for the common man and for everyone,” Petty’s family said.
