But the Kerry campaign has been cleared by Beck to use the song "Loser."
To: Rakkasan1
Bush should use "Monster Mash", it has a nice Halloween flavor and no one could miss the references to Lurch...

John Hall played on Bonnie Raitt's "Give It Up" LP (the one "lovingly dedicated to the people of North Vietnam").

Its a sappy song anyway...good riddance.
To: Rakkasan1
They should have given him the Cheney treatment and kept playing the song. They paid the company and have legal access to use the song despite what some old has been musician has to say about it. If he doesn't want his song used in the manner in which the BC04 campaign is using it he should not have licensed it the way he did.

Dang, my list of "artists" that I will allowed to play on my radio is getting smaller and smaller. Good thing he only had one song worth a flip.

stuck in my head.
