Exit light, enter gripe: Metallica forces US government to drop video
Heavy metal legends Metallica have forced the the US government to withdraw a social media video that used their song 'Enter Sandman' without authorisation. The Department of Defense sent out a post on X on Friday (11 July) that featured Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promoting the country's military drone capabilities. The original version of the video included the band's classic 1991 track 'Enter Sandman'. However, it did not remain online for long, as Metallica promptly issued a copyright notice. The Department of Defense subsequently withdrew the video, posting a version without 'Enter Sandman'. A Pentagon spokesperson said: 'Representatives from X reached out to DoD regarding a video posted to our social media page and asked that the video be removed due to a copyright issue with the song 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica. The video has been taken down, corrected, and re-uploaded to our page.' This is far from the first time that the Trump administration has used artists' work without authorisation. There is an extensive list of musicians who have objected to Trump's authorized use of their songs. These include ABBA, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Neil Young, R.E.M., Guns N' Roses, Woodkid and Beyoncé. Sinead O'Connor's estate previously issued Trump with cease-and-desist orders, while Isaac Hayes' estate sued him for 134 counts of copywright infringement. Céline Dion also condemned the use of her song from the Oscar-winning film Titanic, 'My Heart Will Go On', which was used at one of Trump's rallies. Dion's team questioned the song choice, writing: "And really, THAT song?' Une publication partagée par Jack White (@officialjackwhite) Another band which added their name to the ever-growing list of artists who have sued Trump over the illegal use of their songs in campaign videos was The White Stripes. Last year, the rock band highlighted the 'flagrant misappropriation' of their hit song 'Seven Nation Army'. Jack White captioned a copy of the legal complaint in an Instagram post with: 'This machine sues fascists.' The most recent example, prior to Metallica, was celebrated US rock band Semisonic, who pushed back at the White House in March for using their Grammy-nominated hit song 'Closing Time' over a social media post that shows a shackled deportee. The White House added the 1998 song in a post of a man with his wrists handcuffed to his waist as he is patted down at an airport. The video was captioned with the song's lyrics: 'You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.' US Customs and Border Protection retweeted the White House's post on X with the caption 'It's closing time. We are making America safe again.' The band responded by posting on X: 'We did not authorize or condone the White House's use of our song in any way. And no, they didn't ask. The song is about joy and possibilities and hope, and they have missed the point entirely.'

Jack White Gets a Cell Phone 'for the First Time in My Life' as 50th Birthday Gift from Wife Olivia Jean
Jack White received his first-ever cell phone as a 50th birthday gift from his wife, Olivia Jean "I thought if I could make it to 50 years old at least without ever having one that I could be proud of myself, and I am," said the Third Man Records founder White turned 50 on Wednesday, July 9Jack White can now answer your phone calls. The musician and Third Man Records founder celebrated his 50th birthday on Wednesday, July 9 and announced in an Instagram post that his wife, Olivia Jean, marked the occasion by giving him the first-ever cell phone he's owned in his life as a gift. "Well y'all it's either all over for me now or just the beginning," wrote White alongside photos of himself posing with the phone. "I am now the reluctant owner of a cellular telephone for the first time in my life! A lovely 50th birthday present courtesy of my gorgeous and thoughtful wife Mrs. Olivia Jean (who took these photos as well.)" The White Stripes artist continued, "I've been saying that my days were numbered for years, can't listen to my music in my car, can't park at a parking lot by myself because of QR codes, etc. etc. and I guess Olivia decided to be kind and put me (and all my loved ones) out of my misery!" "I thought if I could make it to 50 years old at least without ever having one that I could be proud of myself, and I am," added White. "Can't wait to talk to you all soon. My phone number is the square root of all of our combined social interaction times Pi." The "Seven Nation Army" singer and Jean got both engaged and married on stage during his performance at Detroit's Masonic Temple in April 2022. The couple also celebrated White's birthday by attending a Detroit Tigers game with his mom, Teresa Gillis, at Comerica Park on July 9 — and his friend, actor and musician John C. Reilly, surprised him by performing "Happy Birthday" on the field. In a video of the moment shared to the Detroit Tigers' social media, White appears stunned and slightly embarrassed by the surprise performance. "You might see Jack as a rock star, but he definitely focuses on family. I think that's really cool," Reilly told Tigers commentators Jason Benetti and Andy Dirks. "Something we both share, I think." Reilly previously starred in White's latest music video for "Archbishop Harold Holmes," released in June. Read the original article on People

Jack White gets 50th birthday serenade from John C. Reilly at Detroit Tigers game
Detroit rocker Jack White got to celebrate his 50th birthday Wednesday, July 9, in grand and quirky hometown style: with a rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" from actor friend John C. Reilly at Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. Reilly, clad in a Tigers baseball jersey, stepped to the mound ahead of the team's game versus the Tampa Bay Rays. At first, it looked to be your standard ceremonial first pitch by a visiting celebrity. White, a lifelong Tigers fan, sat in a stadium suite with his wife and mom. Then came the moment that clearly surprised White: With a count of "1, 2, 3," Reilly led the crowd in a birthday serenade to his musician pal. The live sing along was followed by "Seven Nation Army" over the PA at Comerica Park, where that White Stripes classic has been a longtime go-to song for the Tigers. Reilly is a Chicago-born comic actor and musician who befriended White years ago through their shared bond as Midwestern-raised Catholics. In 2011, he released a pair of country singles via White's Third Man Records and more recently took a starring role in the music video for "Archbishop Harold Holmes," a hit track from White's "No Name" album. In a follow-up interview July 9 in the Tigers' broadcast booth, Reilly confirmed that the supersized birthday greeting was a surprise for White, who didn't even know his actor friend was at the ballpark. Reilly also noted that his jersey was the same one he wore in the 1999 movie "For Love of the Game," the Kevin Costner film in which Reilly played a fictional Tigers catcher. White, a southwest Detroit native, was born on July 9, 1975. He went on to form the White Stripes and lead a Motor City rock renewal at the turn of the 21st century.

John C. Reilly sings ‘Happy Birthday' to unsuspecting Jack White at Tigers game in wild moment
Tigers fans may not have had this year's dominant season on their bingo card, but even fewer could have predicted the hilarious and bizarre scene that played out before Wednesday's game. Actor John C. Reilly, 60, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Comerica Park before Detroit played the Rays, but not without belting out an unexpected rendition of 'Happy Birthday' to Jack White, the frontman of The White Stripes. 'Will you join me in singing 'Happy Birthday' to my friend Jack White?' Reilly asked the 22,019 bewildered fans in attendance. The 'Step Brothers' and 'Talladega Nights' star then went on to croon the lyrics to 'Happy Birthday' as fans sang along. White, who turned 50 on Wednesday, took it all in from the stands, looking on with a combination of amusement, embarrassment and shock. As Reilly finished signing and exclaimed, 'Play Ball!' the speakers began to blast Seven Nation Army, the White Stripes' mega-hit that has turned into a stadium classic. Born in Chicago, Reilly met White backstage at a White Stripes concert decades ago, and the pair hit it off after finding common ground over their Midwestern backgrounds and Catholic upbringings. 3 John C.

After he made his way up from the field, Reilly took in the game in White's suite, alongside the rock star's wife and mother. The hysterical sing-a-long provided no good luck charm to the Tigers, though, who suffered a 7-3 loss despite having the best record in baseball (59-35).
