John McCain sued by singer Jackson Browne

Jackson Brown was a jerk in 1977 and remains one today.

[nmh]

No one would think that this guy would support McCain.

GEESH!

[Perdogg]

Is it his song? Just because he sang it, doesn’t mean it is necessarily his.

He’s a freakin woman beater, Daryl Hannah got clobbered all the time by the Candy A$$ tool. Probably never swung at man though, they never do.

[Antoninus]

Jackson Browne is the poster child for an Obama supporter—a middle-aged former hippie minstrel who hasn’t done a darn thing with his life since 1977 except smoke a lot of reefer.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Exactly. Jerk.

[Wiseghy]

No doubt he was properly paid under copyright for usage.
He has just decided that he didn’t care about that, and filed a suit.

Wadda moron.

He should know that the press he gets with the suit will just bring more attention to the ad and its message.

[Farmer Dean]

The music is in the public domain.Pay the little jerk the customary royalty and tell him to piss off.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Someone in McCain’s group made a pretty dumb error.

Using anyone’s music without permission is bad enough. But using a known liberal rock performer’s stuff in an ad lampooning a liberal candidate is way stupood.

What planet is anyone on that doesn’t know Jackson Browne is a big leftie?

[SeafoodGumbo]

I saw a pic of Jackson Browne earlier today - who other than him has the exact same stupid haircut he had 30 years earlier.

[FormerACLUmember]

Nice gentle liberal Jackson Browne used to beat the living c**p out of Daryl Hannah when they were dating.

This sicko belongs in jail. And I can’t stand his whining voice or his gay lyrics.

[Clemenza]

Say what you will but “Late for the Sky” is probably the greatest breakup song ever written.

[Chode]

if McCain is paying royalties, can he stop him??? i know Chrissy hated Rush using her song.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any of this clown’s music in my 1000 plus CD collection to take outside and burn in protest. I had this same problem when the Ditzy Chicks pissed everybody off.

[Shooter 2.5]

I did a search on YouTube to find that camcorder video of Hannah getting clobbered by Browne. No luck.

[FormerACLUmember]

Jackson Browne with a rare beard. SOMEONE obviously dyes their ridiculous 70's hairstyle. The crazy assassin in "No Country For Old Men" copied Browne's creepy hair. And mullets are only worn by out-of-date mental defectives these days.

[Lysandru]

Maybe John Edwards should use “Lawyers in Love” for the theme song of his redemption campaign...
