I read about the royalties being sent to Obama a week or two back. I love it.

I can't remember the title of the song, but the chorus was a name, guess the name and you've guessed my name, thus allowing you to mock me eternally.

Unfortunately for the Wilsons and their dried-up vaginas, it's not up to them who gets to use their songs. I believe it's up to ASCAP or some shit like that. There are only a few artists who have direct control over their songs, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles being the most famous examples.

The song also isn't being distributed for profit, so I don't think they even need permission, they just have to pay royalties. This seems like nothing but a desperate cry for attention by the Wilsons in the hopes of becoming relevant again. Of course, for some reason America seems to care about the political opinions of entertainers for some reason, even though most of them are borderline retarded.

The letter isn't so much about their political opinions but about the use of their artistic material. I resent that a group like the Mccain camp will speak out against filesharing and piracy, but then use a song without permission. This is not the first time something like this has happened, so there is a precedent for a cease and desist order.

If you read the article, it says that the campaign can use the song if the licensing is in order, but nowhere did I read that it was.

EDIT: Here's a clearer statement if you need one:

"The McCain campaign respects intellectual property rights," spokesman Brian Rogers told Reuters news agency.
"Accordingly, prior to using Barracuda at any events, we paid for and obtained all necessary licences." |

HAHAHA John McCain is old and ugly! I love how musicians are always quick to mock the GOP, but don't have a problem taking a fat paycheck from the big evil cooperations that the GOP "protect", and have no problem spending more on electricity for their mansions than most peoples house payments, yet shout about how we need to save the environment. I'm not a republican by any means, but i'm sick of people who entertain for a living biting the hand that feeds them.
The only musicians I listen to for political advice are the Melvins, and their advice is this: Don't listen to musicians for political advice.

The real issue here is that the Republicans shouldn't be using "Barracuda" because it fucking sucks. The guitar line is pretty badass, and it's fun to play in Guitar Hero III, but Ann Wilson is fucking painful to listen to. Her voice is what Axl Rose would sound like if someone took a fucking cheese grater to his throat.
And don't even get me started on "Magic Man". Worst fucking song ever.

That's funny considering Axl Rose already sounds like he swallowed a Cheese Grater.

Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us. |
