McCain can use the song. He’s not infringing on the copyright.

If the publisher wants McCain to cease and desist, then he will.

But Eddie Van Halen has no say in the matter.

Maybe if he shut his yap a bit more his beautiful wife wouldn't have left his drunken, drug-addled carcass.

It isn't any form of copyright infringement as long as McCain pays the appropriate royalty. Same way Rush gets by with a lot of his bumper music

actually no.

if the venue pays a flat royalty fee like most venues, the use IS paid and IS permitted.

It also depends on the licensing.

I suspect this is more about some musicians being “dixie chicked”.
