Late last week, the UFC announced it was selling the music to the Freedom 250 event at the White House on the president’s birthday.
The live band that performed the fighters’ walkout songs throughout the night will be encapsulated…and sold to the public by the UFC. It is available on all major music platforms as of this past Friday.
“The President’s Own” United States Marine Band provides most of the music which should bring up some questions.
First, its not the “President’s Own.” I believe the US Marine Band belongs to the nation and the president has access to them while he’s in office. The ownership of a band infers that its his personal band. Moreover, did the band know that they would be exploited commercially. It sounds nice and honorable to put out a soundtrack for the nation. But this isn’t charity, its going to the company that cried poverty because they claimed that they were losing money on the extravagance of the event.
