Foo Fights Don't Think McCain Is A Hero
Filed under: Music Minute
They did it again!!!!!!
The McCain campaign has been using many many songs without permission, most recently playing the Foo Fighters' My Hero at speeches and rallies.
Well, Dave Grohl and his bandmates are none too pleased about it!
Naturally, they want McCain to quit using their song, joining Heart, Van Halen, John Mellencamp and Jackson Browne in a similar battle.
Say the Foos:
"This isn’t the first time the McCain campaign has used a song without making any attempt to get approval or permission from the artist. It’s frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property. The saddest thing about this is that ‘My Hero’ was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song.”
Them's fightin' words!!!
We'd stop if we were you, McCain!!!
