When Donald Trump posted a Noah Kahan song to social media without permission, the artist responded not with lawyers but with language — making his refusal a matter of public record and principle. The episode joins a long tradition of musicians asserting that their work is not a neutral vessel, available to any cause that finds it useful. In an age when content travels faster than consent, Kahan's swift and unambiguous objection raises an enduring question: does the person who holds the megaphone, or the person who made the art, have the final word on what it means?
