Johnny Marr, former lead guitarist in the Smiths, has become the latest musician outraged to discover that the band’s music has been played at Donald Trump’s campaign rallies. “I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass,” Marr said in response to a post on X. “Consider this s— shut right down right now.” The post, which said, “You actually hear the Smiths more often than you’d think at 2024 Trump rallies,” had video of the Smiths song “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” playing at a Trump rally in South Dakota last year.
