Heartless

Heehee! You know how they've been playing Heart's 'Barracuda' whenever anyone mentions Sarah Palin's name or she walks across a stage???
Well guess who was none too pleased about that?
Yeah, Heart.


Their first response was Thursday morning after hearing their song used in concert with Palin's appearance.

"We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored."

Polite but fair.
BUT! then the Republican's went and used it again last night, completely pissing off all Heart members, making them feel, "...completely fucked over"
So they had to, you know, for real now, make it clear,
"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women...While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
Jeez Louise GOP! What do you need? Sky writing? Smoke signal? A subliminal brain wave sent through your molars by the IMF???
STOP PERVERTING A RAD SONG ALREADY!!!!!!!!
