Somebody fire McCain's DJ

Well, it has happened again. It seems the Foo Fighters aren't too keen on the McCain campaign using their song "My Hero" at their pep rallies.

"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 band said in a statement. "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."

McCain has already been slammed a few times during the campaign for using music by Jackson Browne, Heart, and John Mellencamp. McCain's camp says they have acquired the necessary license to play the Foo Fighters tune, but would you really want to when the artist outspokenly dislikes you?

I thought John McCain stated earlier this year that he liked ABBA and Linda Ronstadt. What's the matter Senator, are Dancing Queen and Blue Bayou not on your playlist anymore?
