    pretty much. 2 groups took 2 different stands on that issue and I side with the one. That is all. Petty. The Heart sisters just seemed to be really annoyed by it which just seemed ridiculous to me. Most disagree it seems. Perhaps they weren't really annoyed and just wanted it stopped. The whole thing was just so predictable how it played out and I was just commenting on it.

    so your problem wasn't that they wanted it stopped, it was that they seemed to be making a big deal about it?
    and like that... he's gone.

    Bono praised Bush for African aid. If you read Bono's cover story in Rolling Stone a few years ago, the interviewer brought up Bush four different times and Bono didn't bite. I'm sure Bono disagrees with Bush a lot, but he isn't a little bitch about like the rest of the liberals.

    oh.

    If you think playing Barracuda at a campaign rally will result in one vote in the election, you are crazy.

    I agree, brainwashed repubs are already voing for this beyotch, libs aren't stupid enough to fall for such a gimmick.

    The Republican Party did in fact obtain the necessary license to use the song, which can be played when a venue pays a blanket fee to ASCAP, the organization that protects music copyrights.

    While the Wilsons are clearly upset, "Barracuda" co-writer and former Heart guitarist Roger Fisher (Nancy's ex) has a different outlook. He's happy to receive the publicity, he told Reuters last week, and he pledged to give part of the royalties from the song's use to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign.


    There's some irony for ya right there.

    Yep, so in the end the Republicans can use the song and any money they pay to use it goes to Obama.

    I think it all works out in the end.

    Man, it's a f'in song!!!!! People need to wake up. Talk about not focusing on the issues.

    I've lost a lot of respect for Heart...what a stupid, tacky move.

    Every goddamn year this happens (well, every 4 years)...wah wah they are playing my music...wah wah...shut the f up.

    If you feel it necessary, release a statement that you don;t support the candidates, but please get off your high horse...it's a rock song.

    Would you want something you poured your "Heart" into used to boost Ted Kennedy's career?
