"content": "\u003cp>It’s summer’s peak: That time of year when you consume most of your calories in fruity popsicles, contemplate getting air conditioning, and spend many a jealous hour staring at your friends’ seemingly unending supply of travel photos from around the world on social media while you’re stuck at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But does being stuck at home have to be so bad? Not when you live in California! So, pull out your trusted selfie stick and get ready to visit some of these local hot spots with an “international flair:”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Art Lover:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/The_Thinker_by_Rodin_at_the_Cantor_Arts_Center_of_Stanford_University.JPG\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, Europe is home to some of the most famous museums in the world – the Louvre, the Reina Sofia, and the Tate Modern (just to name a few). But once you’re inside a museum, for most visitors it doesn’t matter too much \u003cem>where\u003c/em> you see a breathtaking work of art so long as you get to see it. And, thanks to some Bay Area world-class museums, you don’t have to go far to view European masterpieces! For example, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://museum.stanford.edu/\">Stanford’s Cantor Art Center\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> hosts one of the largest collections of Auguste Rodin’s sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Shopping Enthusiast:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://www.about-face.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/A-F-2.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Milan and Paris might be considered some of the epicenters of European fashion, odds are you aren’t going to feel deprived of any major labels in a road trip down to \u003cstrong>Beverly Hills, CA \u003c/strong>and a visit to the trendy boutiques of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rodeodrive-bh.com/\">Rodeo Drive\u003c/a>. \u003c/strong>And, for an added bonus, you might get to take a selfie with some celebrities! For a shopping experience that feels more European, there’s always a visit to \u003cstrong>San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.santanarow.com/\">Santana Row\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>-- an upscale outdoor mall\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Gourmands:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://exp.cdn-hotels.com/hotels/2000000/1860000/1853300/1853240/1853240_61_y.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As many of my visiting European relatives often attest, a trip to nearby \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.napavalley.com/\">Napa Valley\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> feels very much like Provence, France. Think about it: there’s seemingly endless rows of vineyards, lavender fields, and olive groves. And, with California’s Mediterranean-like weather, it’s a great place to visit in the middle of summer. Not much of a wine drinker? Think about other ways to enjoy the Bay Area’s bevvy of delicious foods -- like the (admittedly touristy) ice cream shop in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ghirardellisq.com/\">Ghirardelli Square\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>or even a local restaurant specializing in another country’s best dishes. A favorite German restaurant of mine in \u003cstrong>Sunnyvale\u003c/strong>, for example, brings back many fond memories of my grandmother’s sauerkraut and strudel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Gardener:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg/240px-Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg\" alt=\"Tahoe North Shore from the East Shore.jpg\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is more than the golden state -- it’s home to beautiful gardens. For a traditional Japanese garden, visit \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://hakone.us/main.html\">Hakone Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Saratoga, California or San Jose’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/facilities/Facility/Details/350\">Japanese Friendship Garden \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>(based off the famous Korakuen Garden)\u003cstrong>. Downton Abbey \u003c/strong>fan? There's always a lovely stroll in the extensive formal gardens at the historical home \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.filoli.org/plan-your-visit/\">Filoli\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Woodside. Or, after a short road trip, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.huntington.org/\">the Huntington Botanical Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in San Marino, California offers more than 120 acres of a variety of gardens– including one with a Chinese theme. Want less cultivated nature? Try visiting \u003ca href=\"http://www.visitinglaketahoe.com/\">\u003cstrong>Lake Tahoe\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>and comparing it to your friends’ photos of the Alps – you’ll see there’s a lot in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Wanderers:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id&blobwhere=1249244283000&blobheader=image%2Fjpeg&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, no travel experience is complete without wandering the streets of a new locale, trying to absorb a bit of the feel of this place. While many cities in California don’t match the walkability of European locales, there are places that certainly embody the spirit. For one, it’s hard not to notice the Spanish / Mediterranean influence in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiego.org/\">San Diego\u003c/a>. \u003c/strong>From the architecture to the ocean border to the ride down Highway 1 (which evokes the Costa Brava -- the drive from Barcelona to France), it’s a safe bet for a Spanish adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, in Southern California, there’s the quaint town of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofsolvang.com/\">Solvang\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> in Santa Barbara County. Founded by a group of Danes in 1911, you might even feel a twinge of phantom jet lag when looking at the copy of the Little Mermaid statue (the original is in Copenhagen) or the Round Tower in the town’s center. And, did I mention the pastries?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if a trip to Southern California doesn’t seem appealing, there’s always the option to stay home, find a small little B&B and order room service. Explore a local cultural neighborhood -- the Bay Area is home to many different experiences!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, though, travel is often as much about the story arriving to your destination than what you manage to see there. So, if you’re missing a great train trip, why not try Amtrak’s 35-hour \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train\">\u003cstrong>Coast Starlight\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> sleeper train from Los Angeles to Seattle, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular train routes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trains not your thing thanks to too many Agatha Christie novels? There’s always the option of taking a short cruise starting out from the San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all these options, pretty soon, your friends will be looking at your photos and remembering why they will always leave their hearts in San Francisco (and all of California).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what’s your favorite local spot? Leave it in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Not when you live in California! So, pull out your trusted selfie stick and get ready to visit some of these local hot spots with an “international flair:”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Art Lover:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/The_Thinker_by_Rodin_at_the_Cantor_Arts_Center_of_Stanford_University.JPG\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, Europe is home to some of the most famous museums in the world – the Louvre, the Reina Sofia, and the Tate Modern (just to name a few). But once you’re inside a museum, for most visitors it doesn’t matter too much \u003cem>where\u003c/em> you see a breathtaking work of art so long as you get to see it. And, thanks to some Bay Area world-class museums, you don’t have to go far to view European masterpieces! For example, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://museum.stanford.edu/\">Stanford’s Cantor Art Center\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> hosts one of the largest collections of Auguste Rodin’s sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For a shopping experience that feels more European, there’s always a visit to \u003cstrong>San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.santanarow.com/\">Santana Row\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>-- an upscale outdoor mall\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Gourmands:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://exp.cdn-hotels.com/hotels/2000000/1860000/1853300/1853240/1853240_61_y.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As many of my visiting European relatives often attest, a trip to nearby \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.napavalley.com/\">Napa Valley\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> feels very much like Provence, France. Think about it: there’s seemingly endless rows of vineyards, lavender fields, and olive groves. And, with California’s Mediterranean-like weather, it’s a great place to visit in the middle of summer. Not much of a wine drinker? Think about other ways to enjoy the Bay Area’s bevvy of delicious foods -- like the (admittedly touristy) ice cream shop in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ghirardellisq.com/\">Ghirardelli Square\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>or even a local restaurant specializing in another country’s best dishes. A favorite German restaurant of mine in \u003cstrong>Sunnyvale\u003c/strong>, for example, brings back many fond memories of my grandmother’s sauerkraut and strudel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Gardener:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg/240px-Tahoe_North_Shore_from_the_East_Shore.jpg\" alt=\"Tahoe North Shore from the East Shore.jpg\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is more than the golden state -- it’s home to beautiful gardens. For a traditional Japanese garden, visit \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://hakone.us/main.html\">Hakone Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Saratoga, California or San Jose’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/facilities/Facility/Details/350\">Japanese Friendship Garden \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>(based off the famous Korakuen Garden)\u003cstrong>. Downton Abbey \u003c/strong>fan? There's always a lovely stroll in the extensive formal gardens at the historical home \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.filoli.org/plan-your-visit/\">Filoli\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in Woodside. Or, after a short road trip, \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.huntington.org/\">the Huntington Botanical Gardens\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>in San Marino, California offers more than 120 acres of a variety of gardens– including one with a Chinese theme. Want less cultivated nature? Try visiting \u003ca href=\"http://www.visitinglaketahoe.com/\">\u003cstrong>Lake Tahoe\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>and comparing it to your friends’ photos of the Alps – you’ll see there’s a lot in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the Wanderers:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/BlobServer?blobkey=id&blobwhere=1249244283000&blobheader=image%2Fjpeg&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=MungoBlobs\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, no travel experience is complete without wandering the streets of a new locale, trying to absorb a bit of the feel of this place. While many cities in California don’t match the walkability of European locales, there are places that certainly embody the spirit. For one, it’s hard not to notice the Spanish / Mediterranean influence in \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiego.org/\">San Diego\u003c/a>. \u003c/strong>From the architecture to the ocean border to the ride down Highway 1 (which evokes the Costa Brava -- the drive from Barcelona to France), it’s a safe bet for a Spanish adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, in Southern California, there’s the quaint town of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofsolvang.com/\">Solvang\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> in Santa Barbara County. Founded by a group of Danes in 1911, you might even feel a twinge of phantom jet lag when looking at the copy of the Little Mermaid statue (the original is in Copenhagen) or the Round Tower in the town’s center. And, did I mention the pastries?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if a trip to Southern California doesn’t seem appealing, there’s always the option to stay home, find a small little B&B and order room service. Explore a local cultural neighborhood -- the Bay Area is home to many different experiences!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, though, travel is often as much about the story arriving to your destination than what you manage to see there. So, if you’re missing a great train trip, why not try Amtrak’s 35-hour \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train\">\u003cstrong>Coast Starlight\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> sleeper train from Los Angeles to Seattle, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular train routes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trains not your thing thanks to too many Agatha Christie novels? There’s always the option of taking a short cruise starting out from the San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all these options, pretty soon, your friends will be looking at your photos and remembering why they will always leave their hearts in San Francisco (and all of California).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what’s your favorite local spot? Leave it in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Aerosmith's \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-tyler/politicians-respect-and-protect-copyright_b_8293894.html\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Tyler\u003c/a> (though he said his objection was financial, not ideological). \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neil-young-donald-trump-spar-over-rockin-in-the-free-world-use-20150617\" target=\"_blank\">Neil Young\u003c/a> (though he, like Tyler, eventually said he was concerned about \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neil-young-im-ok-with-donald-trump-using-rockin-in-the-free-world-20160524\" target=\"_blank\">money\u003c/a> and permission). And perhaps most famously now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/the-rolling-stones/95195\" target=\"_blank\">The Rolling Stones\u003c/a> — more on them later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legally, however, the GOP and the Trump campaign can use all those songs, as Melinda Newman (a former colleague of mine at \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>) explained in \u003cem>Forbes\u003c/em> this week, as long as the rights holders are paid: \"The \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/melindanewman/2016/07/19/why-queen-cannot-stop-trumps-use-of-we-are-the-champions/2/#40ee6e935e7c\">sad truth\u003c/a> is for many artists, they can not keep their songs from being used in this context even if they vehemently disagree with the politician who is using the song.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only use that such unhappy musicians can prohibit is in political commercials — and so far, Trump has not needed to rely on paid advertisements to get his message and visage in the public eye. (By contrast, a suit involving music used in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7438177/suit-ted-cruz-song-use-audiosocket-going-forward\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Cruz campaign commercial\u003c/a> during the primaries will go ahead, a judge in Seattle ruled earlier this month.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other musicians who have in the past publicly said that they don't necessarily agree with the Republican platform took a different tack. The convention's house band this year was led by guitarist and former \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> musical director G.E. Smith. This isn't the first time that Smith and his bandmates have played a Republican convention. As Smith explained to \u003ca href=\"http://www.guitarworld.com/features-news-interviews/ge-smith-talks-bass-republicans-and-performing-roger-waters/%0919609\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Guitar World\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2013, he's taken these gigs on with family bills in mind: \"Well, not only will this pay for several years of Josie [his daughter]'s school, but I can hire six or seven of my friends, and give them a really good pay day too ... We may not be Republicans, obviously, but it was really interesting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, Smith and his fellow musicians put together some intriguing song choices together to entertain the delegates. Among them was David Bowie's \"Station to Station,\" which \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/18/watch_the_rnc_house_band_sing_a_david_bowie_song_about_cocaine.html\" target=\"_blank\">includes\u003c/a> lines like \"It's not the side-effects of the cocaine/I'm thinking that it must be love/It's too late to be grateful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the band's picks on Wednesday was, according to \u003cem>Newsday, \u003c/em>a huge \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/samsanders/status/755908993319567360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">crowd favorite\u003c/a>: Neil Diamond's \"Sweet Caroline\" — a song which was, Diamond claimed \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/21/usa.musicnews\" target=\"_blank\">in 2007\u003c/a>, written in honor of one very notable Democrat: Caroline Bouvier Kennedy — the current U.S. \u003ca href=\"http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/amb/tamb-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\">ambassador to Japan\u003c/a>. (Diamond \u003ca href=\"http://www.today.com/popculture/neil-diamond-reveals-sweet-caroline-secret-today-1D80228037\" target=\"_blank\">later said\u003c/a> that his cute back story was only partly true.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other artists were a little more directly confrontational with the delegates. Four years ago, singer Stephan Jenkins explained why his band, Third Eye Blind, turned down an invitation to play a private party during the Republican National Convention: \"They are in fact, a party dedicated to exclusion...If I came to their convention, I would \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephan-jenkins/third-eye-blind-rnc_b_1839576.html\" target=\"_blank\">Occupy\u003c/a> their convention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, however, Third Eye Blind, a band whose popularity was at its peak about 20 years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-rnc-party-comments-science-songs-not-semi-charmed-life/\" target=\"_blank\">morphed into a Trojan horse of anti-Republican sentiment\u003c/a> when they played a charity show at Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the apparent purpose of riling up the GOP attendees at the show. They played almost none of their '90s hits, and Jenkins \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-gop-during-rnc.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl\" target=\"_blank\">taunted\u003c/a> the crowd with comments like, \"Raise your hand if you believe in science!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the stealth spectrum was the debut of Prophets of Rage, a supergroup featuring members of some more obviously political groups: Public Enemy's Chuck D, Rage Against the Machine's guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk, alongside B-Real from Cypress Hill. As the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>' Joe Coscarelli \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/arts/music/prophets-of-rage-bring-their-anger-to-the-republican-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\">pointed out\u003c/a>, they played for — and rallied beside — like-minded audiences in Ohio. He jotted down sketches of their time in Cleveland: \"Prophets of Rage, meanwhile, face an entirely friendly room eager to mosh and scream along to aggressive anti-establishment songs written two decades ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of the most interesting intersections of — and muddlings between — music and politics this week came out of the Trump campaign itself. One of the highest-profile moments at the convention this week actually seemed to carry certain musical resonances, even if none were intended. After the sections of Melania Trump's Tuesday evening speech that her husband's campaign now says \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/20/486758596/trump-speechwriter-accepts-responsibility-for-using-michelle-obamas-words\" target=\"_blank\">were taken\u003c/a> from Michelle Obama came words that seemed to be a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/04/13/135385998/rickrolled-or-how-one-politician-overcame-partisan-divide-to-pull-a-prank\" target=\"_blank\">Rickroll\u003c/a>: \"He will never, ever give up. And, most importantly,\" Mrs. Trump said, pausing just then to let her words fully sink in, \"He will never, ever let you down.\" Yesterday, CNBC reported that Rick Astley's now-immortal 1987 hit \"Never Gonna Give You Up\" has enjoyed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/21/rick-astleys-music-gets-boost-following-melania-trump-speech.html\" target=\"_blank\">19 percent surge\u003c/a> in Spotify streams since Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his primary battles, Trump's campaign soundtrack has included recorded tracks that expressly seemed to be aimed at simply amping up the audience, like Adele, The Beatles, and Survivor's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/15/donald-trumps-campaign-soundtrack-a-grammy-day-playlist/\">Eye of the Tiger\u003c/a>.\" But Trump has also thrown in some curveballs that make it plain that at least somebody on that campaign has an ear for using music as theater. His playlist has often included a recording of Luciano Pavarotti singing the Puccinia aria \"\u003cem>Nessun Dorma\u003c/em>\" (None Shall Sleep) from the opera \u003cem>Turandot\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one case in which the lyrics actually do appear to reflect Trump's political intentions. \"Nessun Dorma\" ends with these words: \"\u003cem>All'alba vincerò! Vincerò, vincerò\u003c/em>! (\"At dawn, I will win! I will win, I will win!\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in case that high-culture song is a bit too coded, the Republican candidate's arrival in Cleveland on Wednesday was reportedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/07/20/trump-makes-grand-entrance-cleveland-complete-air-force-one-theme/87342334/\" target=\"_blank\">heralded\u003c/a> by a recording of Jerry Goldsmith's music for the 1997 flick \u003cem>Air Force One,\u003c/em> starring Harrison Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the balloons and confetti (eventually) began to rain down last night at the Quicken Loans arena, however, rock 'n' roll had the last word on Trump — or maybe exactly the inverse happened. The evening's last musical selection was the Rolling Stones' \"You Can't Always Get What You Want.\" Commenters on Twitter last night \u003ca href=\"http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/22/donald-trump-you-cant-always-get-what-you-want\" target=\"_blank\">made hay\u003c/a> of the seeming disconnects in meaning between the song and the convention's spectacle of unity. But Trump has long used that tune in particular as one of his campaign's anthems, despite the band's \u003ca href=\"http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/donald-trump-ends-his-rnc-speech-by-playing-rolling-stones-a-band-who-once-pulled-a-knife-on-him/\" target=\"_blank\">fury\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-rolling-stones-stop-music-election-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">request\u003c/a> the band sent to the GOP candidate's team earlier this year to stop using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Trump campaign has explained exactly why \"You Can't Always Get What You Want\" has become such a staple selection at his events — at one rally in Carmel, Ind. back in May, for example, the song was played \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-rollingstones-idUSKCN0XV2ME\" target=\"_blank\">at least four times\u003c/a> at that single campaign stop. But in May, Trump himself responded to the Stones' request in a way that appeared to slough off any implications of the song's lyrics entirely: \"I like Mick Jagger. I like their songs,\" he \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wont-beast-burden-stones-donald-trump/story?id=38898665\" target=\"_blank\">told\u003c/a> CNBC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>'s website earlier this week, Amanda Petrusich published an \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-republican-partys-unrequited-love-of-rock-music\">essay\u003c/a> about some of those apparent paradoxes of meaning, along with some of the musicians she's encountered in Cleveland this week. \"In this particular context,\" she wrote — citing famous examples like \"Born in the U.S.A.\" and \"This Land Is Your Land\" — \"it doesn't matter if there's a staggering fissure between what a thing really means and what someone else wants it to mean. All that matters is that it sounds cool.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's response to the Stones bulwarks Petrusich's point. But it's also true that there's something of a bargain that artists — musicians, poets, painters, whatever — implicitly make when they put their work out into the world. They can create with whatever intention they want, but the receptors of that art — the public — are inevitably going to receive and interpret that output with their own filters, experiences and frameworks. There can be a big split between what is legally allowable and what makes artists happy. That is the deal. And once the creative work is public, others can assign whatever meaning they want to it— consciously or unconsciously, earnestly or cynically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And forever after, those works carry, in our communal memory, not just the artists' intentions about that output (correctly understood or not), but also the resonances of how that music is later used by others. Even if Richard Wagner had not been an anti-Semite himself (which he \u003ca href=\"http://www.dw.com/en/the-hateful-side-of-wagners-musical-genius/a-16850818\" target=\"_blank\">certainly was\u003c/a>), would most people be able to completely divorce his compositions from how they were loved by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/08/arts/the-specter-of-hitler-in-the-music-of-wagner.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Hitler\u003c/a> and the other Nazis? A less loaded Wagner example: Can anyone today hear his \"Ride of the Valkyries\" without instantly flashing to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKaYOW9zMoY\" target=\"_blank\">Apocalypse Now\u003c/a>\u003c/em>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artists can make their displeasure widely known, of course; it's easier today than it's ever been, and absolutely instantaneous thanks to social media. But as soon as musicians feel the need to publicly disassociate themselves from their own work, they are that much farther away from their creations. There's an intercessor, an interloper. After last night, will we ever be able to hear \"You Can't Always Get What You Want\" again without feeling a slight tug of a certain memory — not of Mick Jagger singing, but of Donald Trump shouting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

And perhaps most famously now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/the-rolling-stones/95195\" target=\"_blank\">The Rolling Stones\u003c/a> — more on them later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legally, however, the GOP and the Trump campaign can use all those songs, as Melinda Newman (a former colleague of mine at \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>) explained in \u003cem>Forbes\u003c/em> this week, as long as the rights holders are paid: \"The \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/melindanewman/2016/07/19/why-queen-cannot-stop-trumps-use-of-we-are-the-champions/2/#40ee6e935e7c\">sad truth\u003c/a> is for many artists, they can not keep their songs from being used in this context even if they vehemently disagree with the politician who is using the song.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only use that such unhappy musicians can prohibit is in political commercials — and so far, Trump has not needed to rely on paid advertisements to get his message and visage in the public eye. (By contrast, a suit involving music used in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7438177/suit-ted-cruz-song-use-audiosocket-going-forward\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Cruz campaign commercial\u003c/a> during the primaries will go ahead, a judge in Seattle ruled earlier this month.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other musicians who have in the past publicly said that they don't necessarily agree with the Republican platform took a different tack. The convention's house band this year was led by guitarist and former \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> musical director G.E. Smith. This isn't the first time that Smith and his bandmates have played a Republican convention. As Smith explained to \u003ca href=\"http://www.guitarworld.com/features-news-interviews/ge-smith-talks-bass-republicans-and-performing-roger-waters/%0919609\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Guitar World\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2013, he's taken these gigs on with family bills in mind: \"Well, not only will this pay for several years of Josie [his daughter]'s school, but I can hire six or seven of my friends, and give them a really good pay day too ... We may not be Republicans, obviously, but it was really interesting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Among them was David Bowie's \"Station to Station,\" which \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/18/watch_the_rnc_house_band_sing_a_david_bowie_song_about_cocaine.html\" target=\"_blank\">includes\u003c/a> lines like \"It's not the side-effects of the cocaine/I'm thinking that it must be love/It's too late to be grateful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the band's picks on Wednesday was, according to \u003cem>Newsday, \u003c/em>a huge \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/samsanders/status/755908993319567360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">crowd favorite\u003c/a>: Neil Diamond's \"Sweet Caroline\" — a song which was, Diamond claimed \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/21/usa.musicnews\" target=\"_blank\">in 2007\u003c/a>, written in honor of one very notable Democrat: Caroline Bouvier Kennedy — the current U.S. \u003ca href=\"http://japan.usembassy.gov/e/amb/tamb-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\">ambassador to Japan\u003c/a>. (Diamond \u003ca href=\"http://www.today.com/popculture/neil-diamond-reveals-sweet-caroline-secret-today-1D80228037\" target=\"_blank\">later said\u003c/a> that his cute back story was only partly true.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other artists were a little more directly confrontational with the delegates. Four years ago, singer Stephan Jenkins explained why his band, Third Eye Blind, turned down an invitation to play a private party during the Republican National Convention: \"They are in fact, a party dedicated to exclusion...If I came to their convention, I would \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephan-jenkins/third-eye-blind-rnc_b_1839576.html\" target=\"_blank\">Occupy\u003c/a> their convention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, however, Third Eye Blind, a band whose popularity was at its peak about 20 years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-rnc-party-comments-science-songs-not-semi-charmed-life/\" target=\"_blank\">morphed into a Trojan horse of anti-Republican sentiment\u003c/a> when they played a charity show at Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the apparent purpose of riling up the GOP attendees at the show. They played almost none of their '90s hits, and Jenkins \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/07/20/third-eye-blind-trolls-gop-during-rnc.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl\" target=\"_blank\">taunted\u003c/a> the crowd with comments like, \"Raise your hand if you believe in science!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the stealth spectrum was the debut of Prophets of Rage, a supergroup featuring members of some more obviously political groups: Public Enemy's Chuck D, Rage Against the Machine's guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk, alongside B-Real from Cypress Hill. As the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>' Joe Coscarelli \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/arts/music/prophets-of-rage-bring-their-anger-to-the-republican-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\">pointed out\u003c/a>, they played for — and rallied beside — like-minded audiences in Ohio. He jotted down sketches of their time in Cleveland: \"Prophets of Rage, meanwhile, face an entirely friendly room eager to mosh and scream along to aggressive anti-establishment songs written two decades ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of the most interesting intersections of — and muddlings between — music and politics this week came out of the Trump campaign itself. One of the highest-profile moments at the convention this week actually seemed to carry certain musical resonances, even if none were intended. After the sections of Melania Trump's Tuesday evening speech that her husband's campaign now says \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/20/486758596/trump-speechwriter-accepts-responsibility-for-using-michelle-obamas-words\" target=\"_blank\">were taken\u003c/a> from Michelle Obama came words that seemed to be a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/04/13/135385998/rickrolled-or-how-one-politician-overcame-partisan-divide-to-pull-a-prank\" target=\"_blank\">Rickroll\u003c/a>: \"He will never, ever give up. And, most importantly,\" Mrs. Trump said, pausing just then to let her words fully sink in, \"He will never, ever let you down.\" Yesterday, CNBC reported that Rick Astley's now-immortal 1987 hit \"Never Gonna Give You Up\" has enjoyed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/21/rick-astleys-music-gets-boost-following-melania-trump-speech.html\" target=\"_blank\">19 percent surge\u003c/a> in Spotify streams since Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his primary battles, Trump's campaign soundtrack has included recorded tracks that expressly seemed to be aimed at simply amping up the audience, like Adele, The Beatles, and Survivor's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/15/donald-trumps-campaign-soundtrack-a-grammy-day-playlist/\">Eye of the Tiger\u003c/a>.\" But Trump has also thrown in some curveballs that make it plain that at least somebody on that campaign has an ear for using music as theater. His playlist has often included a recording of Luciano Pavarotti singing the Puccinia aria \"\u003cem>Nessun Dorma\u003c/em>\" (None Shall Sleep) from the opera \u003cem>Turandot\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one case in which the lyrics actually do appear to reflect Trump's political intentions. \"Nessun Dorma\" ends with these words: \"\u003cem>All'alba vincerò! Vincerò, vincerò\u003c/em>! (\"At dawn, I will win! I will win, I will win!\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in case that high-culture song is a bit too coded, the Republican candidate's arrival in Cleveland on Wednesday was reportedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/07/20/trump-makes-grand-entrance-cleveland-complete-air-force-one-theme/87342334/\" target=\"_blank\">heralded\u003c/a> by a recording of Jerry Goldsmith's music for the 1997 flick \u003cem>Air Force One,\u003c/em> starring Harrison Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the balloons and confetti (eventually) began to rain down last night at the Quicken Loans arena, however, rock 'n' roll had the last word on Trump — or maybe exactly the inverse happened. The evening's last musical selection was the Rolling Stones' \"You Can't Always Get What You Want.\" Commenters on Twitter last night \u003ca href=\"http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/22/donald-trump-you-cant-always-get-what-you-want\" target=\"_blank\">made hay\u003c/a> of the seeming disconnects in meaning between the song and the convention's spectacle of unity. But Trump has long used that tune in particular as one of his campaign's anthems, despite the band's \u003ca href=\"http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/donald-trump-ends-his-rnc-speech-by-playing-rolling-stones-a-band-who-once-pulled-a-knife-on-him/\" target=\"_blank\">fury\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-rolling-stones-stop-music-election-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">request\u003c/a> the band sent to the GOP candidate's team earlier this year to stop using it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Trump campaign has explained exactly why \"You Can't Always Get What You Want\" has become such a staple selection at his events — at one rally in Carmel, Ind. back in May, for example, the song was played \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-rollingstones-idUSKCN0XV2ME\" target=\"_blank\">at least four times\u003c/a> at that single campaign stop. But in May, Trump himself responded to the Stones' request in a way that appeared to slough off any implications of the song's lyrics entirely: \"I like Mick Jagger. I like their songs,\" he \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wont-beast-burden-stones-donald-trump/story?id=38898665\" target=\"_blank\">told\u003c/a> CNBC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>'s website earlier this week, Amanda Petrusich published an \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-republican-partys-unrequited-love-of-rock-music\">essay\u003c/a> about some of those apparent paradoxes of meaning, along with some of the musicians she's encountered in Cleveland this week. \"In this particular context,\" she wrote — citing famous examples like \"Born in the U.S.A.\" and \"This Land Is Your Land\" — \"it doesn't matter if there's a staggering fissure between what a thing really means and what someone else wants it to mean. All that matters is that it sounds cool.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's response to the Stones bulwarks Petrusich's point. But it's also true that there's something of a bargain that artists — musicians, poets, painters, whatever — implicitly make when they put their work out into the world. They can create with whatever intention they want, but the receptors of that art — the public — are inevitably going to receive and interpret that output with their own filters, experiences and frameworks. There can be a big split between what is legally allowable and what makes artists happy. That is the deal. And once the creative work is public, others can assign whatever meaning they want to it— consciously or unconsciously, earnestly or cynically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And forever after, those works carry, in our communal memory, not just the artists' intentions about that output (correctly understood or not), but also the resonances of how that music is later used by others. Even if Richard Wagner had not been an anti-Semite himself (which he \u003ca href=\"http://www.dw.com/en/the-hateful-side-of-wagners-musical-genius/a-16850818\" target=\"_blank\">certainly was\u003c/a>), would most people be able to completely divorce his compositions from how they were loved by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/08/arts/the-specter-of-hitler-in-the-music-of-wagner.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Hitler\u003c/a> and the other Nazis? A less loaded Wagner example: Can anyone today hear his \"Ride of the Valkyries\" without instantly flashing to \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKaYOW9zMoY\" target=\"_blank\">Apocalypse Now\u003c/a>\u003c/em>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>On my way to the \"emo night\" party in San Francisco -- also known as Taking Back Tuesday -- I imagined a bunch of kids sitting in a dark-lit room, swaying to the music, dressed in stripes and skinny jeans. What I got was a room full of nostalgic adults ready to go crazy to Taking Back Sunday, and dance like no one was watching. Moshing. Crowd-surfing. Grabbing strangers by the face and singing to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having recently expanded to the Bay Area from a similar weekly night in Los Angeles, Taking Back Tuesday is essentially one giant dance party wherein DJs play an assortment of nostalgic emo music — just so we emo kids can party like it’s 2005. But it's also more than that: It offers people ways to connect to their past, reassess their teen angst at a happier time in their lives, and make new friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's \u003cem>also\u003c/em> embroiled in a bit of controversy, as Taking Back Sunday frontman Adam Lazzara told Billboard in an interview published July 19 that he has\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7439176/taking-back-sunday-tuesday-adam-lazarra-interview-emo-dj-night-los-angeles\" target=\"_blank\"> not-entirely-positive feelings about the tribute night\u003c/a>. But before the day's end, Lazzara posted\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BID1wxrjnYO/\" target=\"_blank\"> a note to Instagram with a clarification\u003c/a>, saying that his remarks were taken out of context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_30759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-30759\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kai Schade, a first-time Taking Back Tuesday attendee.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/First-time-Taking-Back-Tuesday-atendee-Kai-Schade-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kai Schade, a first-time Taking Back Tuesday attendee. \u003ccite>(Photo: Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the nuances of Lazzara's take, it's clear they've come to mean quite a bit to quite a few people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me: I came out of the emo closet during my senior year of high school. I quickly realized that emo music has two stigmas: first, that its fans are always sad, and second, that they don’t like to party.

What I got was a room full of nostalgic adults ready to go crazy to Taking Back Sunday, and dance like no one was watching. Moshing. Crowd-surfing. Grabbing strangers by the face and singing to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having recently expanded to the Bay Area from a similar weekly night in Los Angeles, Taking Back Tuesday is essentially one giant dance party wherein DJs play an assortment of nostalgic emo music — just so we emo kids can party like it’s 2005. But it's also more than that: It offers people ways to connect to their past, reassess their teen angst at a happier time in their lives, and make new friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's \u003cem>also\u003c/em> embroiled in a bit of controversy, as Taking Back Sunday frontman Adam Lazzara told Billboard in an interview published July 19 that he has\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7439176/taking-back-sunday-tuesday-adam-lazarra-interview-emo-dj-night-los-angeles\" target=\"_blank\"> not-entirely-positive feelings about the tribute night\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>Someone in charge of booking entertainment for a post-Republican National Convention party done goofed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third Eye Blind, a San Francisco band that peaked in 1997 but which continues to make new music and tour frequently almost entirely on the strength of Millennial sentimentality for the 8th grade, was hired to play a private show in Cleveland last night for charity. Held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for an audience of recording industry big-wigs and lobbyists (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/755555585492344833\" target=\"_blank\">as some noted ahead of time on Twitter\u003c/a>), the performance was not technically affiliated with the RNC -- but it was a half-mile away from the convention center, scheduled during the convention, and unsurprisingly packed to the gills with Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once there, frontman Stephan Jenkins used his platform to condemn the Republican agenda and preach tolerance for LGBT people. These comments were met, again unsurprisingly, with booing from the red state-heavy crowd in attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/tinpant/status/755646681773903872\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Raise your hand if you believe in science!\" he proclaimed, according to several sources. At one point, according to Cleveland.com, Jenkins responded to the growing jeers with the remark \"You can boo all you want, but I'm the motherf****** artist up here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But apparently worse (?) for those in the audience, Third Eye Blind pulled the oldest trick in the indie-band-protest book: refusing to play any of their singles, instead opting for only obscure and newer material -- which, to be clear, would piss off most crowds. When I last saw Third Eye Blind, at a weird music industry party in 2014, the audience looked to be mostly San Francisco residents and bridge-and-tunnel folks in their 30s -- all of whom willingly traveled and spent money to be there -- yet nearly all of whom seemed deeply uncomfortable in that don't-know-what-to-do-with-your-hands way until the band launched into one of their three best-known singles. (Cue a giant, enthusiastic sing-along.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event: After \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ThirdEyeBlind/status/755640751783088128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">responding to disappointed attendees\u003c/a> last night and this morning on Twitter, Jenkins apparently decided \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeBlind/posts/10154213647345937\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook was the right medium for issuing a statement\u003c/a>. It reads:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We did not play an RNC event.

Held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for an audience of recording industry big-wigs and lobbyists (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/755555585492344833\" target=\"_blank\">as some noted ahead of time on Twitter\u003c/a>), the performance was not technically affiliated with the RNC -- but it was a half-mile away from the convention center, scheduled during the convention, and unsurprisingly packed to the gills with Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once there, frontman Stephan Jenkins used his platform to condemn the Republican agenda and preach tolerance for LGBT people. These comments were met, again unsurprisingly, with booing from the red state-heavy crowd in attendance.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When I last saw Third Eye Blind, at a weird music industry party in 2014, the audience looked to be mostly San Francisco residents and bridge-and-tunnel folks in their 30s -- all of whom willingly traveled and spent money to be there -- yet nearly all of whom seemed deeply uncomfortable in that don't-know-what-to-do-with-your-hands way until the band launched into one of their three best-known singles.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
