Så kan en blå prick i Omaha avgöra hela valet

Så kan en blå prick i Omaha avgöra hela valet

Nebraska må vara Bruce Springsteens kanske mest hyllade album. Men i politiska sammanhang nämns det ganska sällan. Fram tills nu, när delstatens särpräglade valsystem, i teorin skulle kunna avgöra vem som blir USA:s nästa president. – Det blåa Omaha, det ser ut som en liten blå prick i ett rött hav, säger Jason Brown. ”Genialt” För Mr Brown och hans fru Ruth började allt i somras, i samband med att Kamala Harris officiellt utsågs till Demokraternas presidentkandidat. En eftermiddag försvann Jason ut i garaget, var borta en stund och kom sedan tillbaka för att visa Ruth sitt senaste alster: en stor blå prick på en vit skylt. – Och jag tyckte att det var genialt, säger Ruth Huebner-Brown. Sedan ställde de ut skylten på framsidan av huset. Ganska snabbt kom grannen över och ville ha en likadan. Sedan kom en granne till och en till. På bara två månader har familjen Brown målat tusentals blå prickar som nu syns överallt i Omaha. Allt handlar om Nebraskas sätt att fördela sina fem elektorsröster. Majoritet demokrater Tillsammans med Maine gör inte Nebraska som andra delstater och ger en kandidat samtliga elektorer, istället är de fördelade på flera distrikt. Den stora lejonparten av delstaten är glesbefolkad och starkt republikansk, med ett stort undantag – delstatens största stad Omaha, där en majoritet 2008 och 2020 röstade demokratiskt. Det här valet avgörs som bekant i sju vågmästarstater. I scenariot där Kamala Harris bara vinner Wisconsin, Michigan och Pennsylvania skulle Omahas blåa prick kunna bli helt avgörande för Harris väg till Vita Huset. Till Republikanernas stora förtret. Partiet har utan framgång försökt att ändra Nebraskas valsystem. – Det finns ingen anledning till att vi ska ha ett annat system än andra delstater, säger Theresa Thibodeau. ”Ska göra allt vi kan för att hålla blåa prickar borta” Hon driver den republikanska stödgruppen Red State Nebraska och har kontrat de blå prickarna med att göra egna skyltar där hela Nebraska lyser rött, som i republikanskt. Utan blå prick. – Nebraska är en röd delstat och vi ska göra allt vi kan för att hålla blåa prickar borta, säger hon. Under tiden fortsätter paret Brown att sprejmåla sina skyltar på garageuppfarten. Kanske torkar de snabbare av medvinden i opinionen. Just nu ser Omahas blåa prick från 2020 ut att bestå. Hur avgörande den blir i slutänden, återstår att se.

Slår ifrån sig: "Hade licens"

Slår ifrån sig: "Hade licens"

Det var Svenska Dagbladet som uppmärksammade tilltaget efter att tidningen varit på plats vid ett valmöte i Minnesota och konstaterat att Trumpanhängarna underhölls med Abbas musik. Bland annat spelades hitlåten ”The winner takes it all”. Nyheten fick stor spridning internationellt och uppmärksammades av medier som BBC, The Guardian, Politico, Al Jazeera, och nyhetsbyråerna Reuters, AP och AFP. "Vårt skivbolag Universal ser till att det tas ner", skrev Björn Ulvaeus till TT om saken. Enligt Universal hade "inget tillstånd eller någon licens givits till Trump", hälsade bolaget till SvD. Nu tvingas Trumpkampanjen kommentera händelsen, och hävdar att de hade licens att spela upp låtarna. – Kampanjen hade licens att spela Abbas musik genom vårt avtal med BMI och ASCAP, säger en talesperson till nyhetsbyrån AP. ”Politisk licens” Upphovsrättsorganisationen BMI ger nu Trump delvis rätt, skriver SvD. Organisationen förklarar för tidningen att Trumps kampanj har en så kallad "politisk licens", som ger den tillgång till över 22 miljoner licensierade låtar, däribland Abbas. Samtidigt har artister eller låtskrivare möjlighet att protestera och sätta stopp för att en politiker använder deras låtar. Vid Trumps senaste valmöte hade Abbas låtar tagits bort från spelkatalogen, enligt BMI, rapporterar tidningen. Under valmötet visades även musikvideor med Abba, men det är inte klarlagt om man haft de ytterligare licenser som krävs för att få visa just videomaterial i politiska sammanhang. Att artister kräver att Trump ska sluta använda deras musik vid sina valmöten har varit en följetong under hela hans politiska karriär. The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Céline Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna och Neil Young är några av dem som tidigare har protesterat.

Abba rasar mot Trump: Sluta använda vår musik i valkampanjen

Abba rasar mot Trump: Sluta använda vår musik i valkampanjen

”Vi har tillsammans med medlemmarna i Abba upptäckt att det kommit ut videos där Abbas musik har använts vid Trumps event och har då begärt att sådan användning omedelbart plockas ned och bort”, skriver Universal Music till tidningen. ”Universal Music Publishing AB och Polar Music International AB har inte mottagit någon förfrågan så inget tillstånd eller någon licens har givits till Trump", skriver bolaget vidare. SvD var på plats vid ett valmöte för Trump i juli i St Cloud i Minnesota, då de över 8 000 Trumpanhängarna bland annat fick lyssna på Abbas hitlåt ”The Winner Takes It All”. Det följdes av ett över tio minuter långt bildspel på Björn Ulvaeus och Benny Andersson, sjungandes låtar som ”Money, Money, Money” och ”Dancing Queen”. Tidningen beskriver Trumppubliken i den svenskättade delstaten som "extatisk". Abba ansluter nu till en lång rad artister och band som kräver att Donald Trump slutar att använda deras musik offentligt. Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna och Neil Young hör till dem som tidigare framfört liknande krav.

Bruce Springsteen

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is Bruce Springsteen.His career has brought him 20 Grammys, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award and his albums sell in their millions around the world. He grew up in New Jersey where the Catholic church played a central role in his early life. The family teetered on the brink of poverty, and his first guitar was rented, rather than bought. He spent his apprentice years as a musician and singer with local bands before landing a record deal in 1972. When 'Born to Run' was released in 1975 it turned him into a household name. His first Top Ten single was 'Hungry Heart', ahead of his most successful album 'Born in the USA' which was released in 1984.In spite of having long transcended the environment he grew up in, Springsteen has remained a chronicler of blue-collar lives. His records are frequently a political commentary on the struggles of ordinary Americans. In the Nineties he settled into family life with his wife Patti Scialfa who sings with his E Street Band. Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

Pulitzer Prize winner David Remnick takes the long view of Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Macca and more

David Remnick got his Pulitzer for his reporting on Russia. These days he edits The New Yorker, in which capacity he has had close encounters with some of music’s legends during their final acts, some of which is gathered in “Holding The Note”, a collection of his writings on music. From his ill-lit Manhattan eyrie he talks to David Hepworth of many matters, including:….what was in the handbag which remained on the piano during Aretha Franklin shows….what it was like being on the receiving end of an almighty dressing-down from the elderly Leonard Cohen….how Bruce Springsteen learned nothing at school but has picked up a great deal since….how Bob Dylan reckons he’s in a “post-interview” phase of life - or is he?….how his father took him to see Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald and he has taken his own kids to see Radiohead….how Keith Richards found a ghost writer who could throw his voice….what was really the last good Stones album.…why you should never try to get rock stars to like you.Pre-order Holding The Note here: https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/david-remnick/holding-the-note/9781035023974Tickets for Word In Your Ear live at 21Soho on September 25th here: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/1SwIYJWoHKSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
