Foo Fighters Tell McCain to Quit Using Their Song

Soon, the only songs that will be allowed at McCain rallies are Raising McCain and the theme to Rocky. I bolded the Foo Fighter's statement, which is absolutely precious.
NEW YORK—Yet another band is complaining about John McCain's use of their song to promote his campaign. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.
The rockers sent out a missive telling the Republican presidential candidate to stop using "My Hero." They said they learned it was being use through news reports.
"The saddest thing about this is that 'My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential," the band said in a statement. "To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song."
The band noted it's not the first time McCain has been told to stop using a song. John Mellencamp, Heart and Jackson Browne have also complained—Browne even filed a lawsuit.

Heart Says No to Sarah Barracuda

Poor John McCain. Musicians keep banning the use of their music in his campaign. He can't even get Big and Rich, only Big. Rich supports Obama. Jackson Browne sued McCain as well and McCain's beloved ABBA too.
Now Heart:

CNN: UPDATE: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart said Thursday night that Universal Music Publishing and Sony BMG have sent a cease and desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign over their use of 'Barracuda.'

"We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We
hope our wishes will be honored," the group said in a statement that said they "condemn" the use of the song at the Republican convention.
