Ageing and irrelevant, but still very progressive rock band R.E.M. is very upset that President Trump retweeted a fan's video of his State of the Union address which used one of their songs, "Every Butt is Hurt."


Trump's Tweet has left R.E.M. so acutely and unfairly butthurt and with so severely increased rapid eye movement, that they denounced Bad Orange Man to the Commissars of Butthurt Awareness on Twitter and had the video pulled.

While R.E.M. are zealous Bernie Sanders supporters, the way their hero appears prominently in the video is not how Michael Stipe would like him be remembered.

State of the Union video tweeted by Trump is 'removed' after copyright complaint from R.E.M. publisher

Trump later Tweeted the same video with the music replaced by God Bless the USA, and pinned it to his Twitter profile.

This is the tweet from REM that triggered the removal of the video. Notice the language: "Measures have been taken."

Sounds just like the Party apparatchiks used to talk in the USSR. Socialists always say they'll do it better this time, but they're forever doomed following the old route. There is no "better way."

They did do What's the Frequency, Kenneth?, but it escapes me why that title became infamous. I did like Green Grow the Rushes back in '80's.

I just looked at their Wikipedia entry. The first line reads:

Wikipedia wrote:R.E.M. was an American rock band who died when President Trump played their song from Athens, Georgia,
