Apparently they don't have sympathy for some devils.

In 1989, The Rolling Stones original members ended their seven-year hiatus and embarked on an ambitious and profitable 115-show tour of Europe and North America. The American leg, named after their comeback album Steel Wheels, began in August in Philadelphia and ended in December in Atlantic City.
The final show, at the Boardwalk Hall (f.k.a Convention Center), aired on pay-per-view and like the Miss America Pageant, also held at the Hall was to be sponsored by the adjacent Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.
Even in the late-80s, however, The Stones didnt want to be associated with Trump. So they cut a deal with him, stipulating he wouldnt be involved in any promotional capacity outside of Atlantic City and, amazingly, wouldnt be allowed at the show itself....

Does the fucking moron ever use their songs at his rallies. I seem to recall that he does. Why can't they stop him?
