Question

I had a funny feeling when I heard them playing Barracuda last night that Heart was not going to be happy.

First Jackson Browne, then Van Halen, now Heart. McCain is going to be left w/nothing but Mozart and 'Raisin' McCain'.

Answer 1

Lmfao. I assumed the music meant the bands supported him.

Answer 2

Thats great news!

I was listening to it while watching the convention wondering " What is that annoying song?!"

Republicans need to stick to America loving, flag waving country music.

Answer 3

Yes. Heart did send the cease and desist letters to the campaign. What gets me is how careless the McCain camp is about following the laws of the land---copyright laws in this case. Very typical of McCain when you think about how he supports an illegal war. I want an administrator who obeys the laws! And Palin making fun of Obama for wanting to make sure people are read their rights when arrested is down right scary. That says she supports a police state where people are not granted their constitutional rights! It's unreal that Republicans can support that attitude!

Answer 4

He can still use their music since they don't own the rights to it, their publisher does and McCain's campaign paid the publisher.

Answer 5

Well we all know that most performers are staunch liberals...

Why would this surprise you?

Answer 6

Well Ann Wilson told the McCain campaign to stop using "Barracuda" as they did not agree with Mccain's or Palin's views!

Answer 7

Kid Rock

Answer 8

Raisin McCain has got to be the worst song I have ever heard.  I want to go vomit when I hear it.  It should be outlawed as music.  My little sister of 5 years old could sound better then that.  

Answer 9

Gee who do I want for President - someone supported by old rock bands, and movie stars. Or someone supported by normal americans. Go Palin.

Answer 10

I'm sure Nancy would change her mind for a box of doughnuts.

Answer 11

lol....nah...Burt Bacharach and "Cowboy Troy' are also in the McCain camp....they ought to have some great hits...!!?!?

Answer 12

When the President has the power to label anyone he chooses a terrorist and lock them up at Gitmo indefinitely, then why should the Republican Party need permission to play some silly music. *Sarcasm*

In the name of George Bush and the USA, we must destroy our enemies and force them to be just like us.

By the way....

In my home state, there are only 30 days left to register to vote.  The clock is ticking.

Answer 13

His team of crack advisers, in the time they have left before prison, better start leafing through the old n**i Wagner songbook. That suits him fine.

Answer 14

That was for Sarah 'Barracuda' Palin! She also named her son after Van Halen. Most drugged out rock bands are far left politically.

Answer 15

I'm voting for John McCain :)

Answer 16

who gives a rats butt what stars think about politics anyway?

fact is, if the McCain camp buys the rights to use the song, there isn't much the artist can say.

Answer 17

Barracuda is Sarah Palin's nickname because she is one tough mama!
