Kid Rock entertains Trump at event as Steely Dan criticizes RNC band for playing their music, reports Hollywood Life
The 2024 Republican National Convention was filled with conservative elites, everyday Americans, and some celebrities, including Trump-loving musicians.
From the Nashville-based band Sixwire keeping the attendees entertained for all four days in Milwaukee to Kid Rock warming up the crowd before Donald Trump came to the stage with a “fight, fight” rendition of a mashup of his old songs ‘American Bad Ass’ and ‘Cowboy.’
But Donald Fagen, Steely Dan’s sole surviving co-founder, wasn’t happy when his song ‘Reelin’ in the Years’ was played by Sixwire as part of its setlist. He posted a message on Facebook suggesting a different track instead: the anti-Trump ballad ‘Tin Foil Hat.’
The song in question isn’t a Steely Dan tune, but a Todd Rundgren track featuring Fagan ― and it’s very specifically about Trump.
