Republicans: So Uncool, They Are Banned From Rock And Roll

posted Friday, 5 September 2008

I love when the right tries to use rock music for its ads and campaigns:

They put the "amp" in campaign and get voters tapping their toes to the ballot box - but hit songs can be tricky territory for political campaigns.

The rock duo Heart is the latest group to publicly veto a stump song, condemning the McCain-Palin ticket for using its '70s hit "Barracuda" as the theme for Gov. Sarah (Barracuda) Palin.

"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women," Heart members Ann and Nancy Wilson told Entertainment Weekly after the song played at the Republican National Convention.

"'Barracuda' was written in the late '70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women."

Bruce Springsteen bashed Ronald Reagan in 1984 for invoking his brooding "Born in the USA" as a message of hope.

More recently, Jackson Browne sued McCain for using his "Running on Empty" song in an ad bashing Barack Obama.

Ever notice this never happens to Democrats?
