very salient point, similar rights also cover musicians from having their music associated with something obnoxious

  Not very often. Music is mostly licensed through ASCAP/BMI. The musician, if signed to a label, has no choice in the matter “They don’t have my permission to use my music!” They didn’t need it, you’re getting paid, shut up and be the whore like the contract you signed says you are.

    Impressive strawman, would cheerfully torch again.

    > …shut up and be the whore like the contract you signed says you are. Setting aside your concerns about how poor, helpless politicians are being bullied by all-powerful artists, the fact is that licenses often have carve-outs for conventions and other campaign events. Artists can also prevent use by arguing that it infringes on their Right of Publicity or the Lanham Act.
