There’s nothing Wilson/Wilson can do as long as the McCain campaign pays the ASCAP fees. ASCAP covers public broadcast for an event, just as they cannot tell a nightclub or sports event not to play their song.

Correct! However, if these two petty, ultra-liberal, skanks don't want the RNC to play their song then find something else.

I thought about this last night when it was being played whether or not they would protest. I'm deeply sadden because they are great songwriters, and I've always appreciated them, but now I'm going to think about this every time I listening to their music.

Thank heavens my female singer couldn't sing Ann Wilson! When you think about, it was the wrong choice of song anyway.

Well look, this was a publicity stunt. If they hadn’t sent out this meaningless cease & desist letter, we wouldn’t be talking about them right now. And that’s the real motivation for why they did it. No one would have noticed their song was played at all otherwise. Vacuous political statements is a cheap and dirty way for these Hollywood types to get attention, and it works every time. Maybe we should stop taking the bait.
