I don’t know who G. Wilson is, but Ann Wilson is a very outspoken liberal. She recently recorded a bunch of protest songs aimed at Bush.
I don’t know the legalities here, but I thought it was a moronic move the moment I heard it coming out of the speakers. As much as I dislike the Wilsons’ political views, I have to ask if I would like my song played as a theme for Obama or Biden. I would not. Whether I could stop it from happening is unknown to me.
As an aside, Chrissie Hynde is an uberliberal, but she was unhappy with her clearing house when they refused to let Rush use My City Was Gone for a time. She said, “I’m a liberal but my parents are conservative and they love Rush. I don’t care if he uses it.” Now, cynically, you could say she likes the money she gets for his playing it. But, I kind of admired her for saying that.
Smart move for her. I went all over town looking for the CD with My City Was Gone on it when Rush started using it. I paid money for the CD. Something her liberal friends normally don't do when they want a song.
