Rufus Wainwright says Trump’s use of his music at City Hall dance was ‘blasphemy’
Musician Rufus Wainwright releases statement after his version of the song ‘Hallelujah’ was played during Donald Trump’s widely mocked town hall turned into a dance party in Pennsylvania last night did.
Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah” is an anthem dedicated to peace, love, and embracing truth. I have been extremely honored to be associated with this ode to tolerance over the years. It was the height of blasphemy to witness Trump and his supporters mingling over this music last night. Of course, I was never going to forgive this and was mortified, but the idiot in me probably lived to actually listen to the lyrics of Cohen’s masterpiece and hope that Donald Trump would have little remorse for what he had caused. I hope that you may experience it. I’m not holding my breath. ”
