Recently, I wrote about the kerfluffle regarding “Walter Reed Middle School” being projected behind John McCain without the school’s permission. Well, as Brittney Spears would say, “Ooops, they did it again.”
You all know how the song “Barracuda” was played behind Sarah Palin? Well, the rock band Heart who wrote it never gave their permission. Heart singers Ann and Nancy Wilson said a “cease-and-desist” letter has been sent to the Republicans asking them not to use the song, saying “The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission.” The Republicans have done it before. Last month, rocker Jackson Browne sued Republican presidential candidate John McCain, the Republican National Committee and the Ohio Republican Party, accusing them of using his 1977 hit “Running on Empty” in a campaign ad without permission.
