A social media Tweet by the "Donald" helps a Canadian Rock Band

Say it isn't true, but a tweet by Donald Trump, er...the President, has actually helped Canadian Rock Band Nickelback.

This proves social media has a major impact and as the late Marshall McLuhan once said, "it is not the medium it's the message", maybe it should be, "it's not the medium, but the messenger instead". 

Like him or not, when Trump Tweets, things tend to take place, like Nickelback's career seeing a  sudden surge! (Oy the aliteration) 

Here is more on this story and that social media has a major impact, depending on who is behind the messaging...

On a closing note, I was never a fan of this band, maybe the next Prime Minister can re-negotiate our free trade agreement and Canada can throw Nickelback in as a bonus!!

Have a good weekend Big Yella!

I'll give Nickelback this, they absolutely nail this "Sharp Dressed Man" tribute to ZZ Top!
