Heart to McCain/Palin: Back off on ‘Barracuda’
“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. (The ‘barracuda’ represented the business.) 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.”
Ouch.

Not the first time, either. Van Halen told McCain to get stuffed as well. http://roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=103739
