This happens in every single election. Some Republican uses rock music as a theme and the singer gets his or her panties in a twist over it. Remember how Springstein whined about Reagan using “Born in the USA”? Or how that freak who made noises blew a gasket when Bush Senior used “Don’t Worry Be Happy” as his theme? Republicans need to realize that all they are doing by using the music is giving these has-beens a chance to be important and self-righeous again.
Wonder if Ted Nugent has an appropriate song? I have a feeling Aerosmith may be open to their music being used by a republican, too. There are other options. Either way, the people running the campaign need to get it OK’d by the artist. Who’d want be backed by a song of an artist that obviously is against what you stand for?
They might want to try getting permission first.
