Bon Jovi Has No Love For Sexy Sarah
The John McCain camp is doing it again!
They're using music at their fundraisers by artists who don't even support him nor want their songs associated with him or the bulldog with lipstick.
Back in August, Jackson Browne sued after McCain's people used his song Running on Empty without his conset.
Then, in September the rock band Heart sent a cease and desist letter to the Republican campaign asking them to stop using their song Barracuda.
And, just recently the McCain camp used the Foo Fighters song, My Hero, which they didn't agree to either.
But, the most recent musician being used without permission is Bon Jovi.
The rocker is a known Barack Obama supporter. He even held a fundraising dinner in September for Obama, for $30k per person, to help out.
However, Bon Jovi's song Who Says You Can't Go Home was used during rallies held by Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin this week.
And Bon Jovi is speaking out about it.
Says the musician, "We wrote this song as a thank you to those who have supported us over the past 25 years. The song has since become a banner for our home state of New Jersey and the de facto theme song for our partnerships around the country to build homes and rebuild communities. Although we were not asked, we do not approve of their use of 'Home'."
Ouch.
What do U think? Should McCain's people stop using music by artists that don't endorse him?

Re: ladylge –
Do you really expect us to believe that you have 20 years worth of Bon Jovi CD's and you are going to throw all of them away because of this? That really would be your lose and not his.
Besides, I love Bon Jovi even more because of this. Bon Jovi has every right to be mad at them for using his music. I would be mad too. I wouldn’t want anyone I didn’t agree with to benefit from my hard work. If McCain wants to listen to Bon Jovi music in his free time then he can do that. He just shouldn’t be playing it during a Republican rally.

He does have a right to ask the McCain campaign to not use his music because it's seen as endorsing the candidate. There's nothing to scream about unfairness. Did he actually say he didn't want Republicans to listen to his music? No. Most people are political. Just because they don't say anything about it doesn't mean they don't have an affiliation. He's been pretty open about his being a Democrat for at least a couple of years so it's not like he finally revealed it for everyone to see just for the sake of being a drama king.

The fight to defeat Prop 8 is going to be hard-won. Our opposition has a war chest of millions of dollars, and we must match them dollar for dollar. Every dollar counts, so please contribute today and again in the coming weeks. Backers of Prop. 8 raised $24.3 million as of the end of September. WE have only raised $15.4 million. WE are seriously underfunded.
