McCain Sucks at Music, Offends Van Halen
By Scott Thill EmailAugust 29, 2008 | 7:54:52 PMCategories: Events, Music News, People

Is playing someone else's song at your political function a copyright violation?

We'll find out sooner rather than later, it seems. John McCain might be at the forefront of that sonic conundrum, the way he keeps grifting tunes without approval. He's already been sued by Jackson Browne for doing just that.

This time around, he's angered the ax legend that made hammering cool.

The bad news? The tune is "Right Now," from Van Halen's Sammy Hagar era, arguably the band's worst. (You decide.) McCain's campaign blared the track during a speech in Ohio, at which point the band complained that he should've chosen Twisted Sister instead.

"Permission was not sought or granted nor would it have been given," a Van Halen representative told TMZ.

The weird news? McCain's recently announced running mate and governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, according to the Associated Press, has named one of her five children Trig Paxson Van Palin, in honor of the band. No further comment.

I think we have an excellent chance as long as all the votes are counted this time.

McCain sold his soul and sucked every right wing cock he could to get this nomination. and don't even get me started on that Palin woman. it's like the Jerry Springer show. I blog at www.myleftwing.com come on over and tell them Sadie sent you. I'm telling you- somebody better be keeping an eye on those voting machines. I've been hanging out at Kid Rock's site cause I like his music. you would not believe the right wing fanatics over there. I just have to ignore them. they literally think Obama is a Muslim terrorist and that Bush will go down in history as the greatest president of all time. I don't run into many people like that in my travels. there are a few Obama supporters but they don't say much. when did rock and politics merge?
LET'S ROCK THE VOTE!
OBAMA IN 2008!!!
