rhetorical question....

GOP types think the world and all other life forms exist solely to serve them.

They think they're catchy tunes free for all to use and half the time they don't even understand that the lyrics are anti-conservative.

Of course, there is always Cat Scratch Fever.

but it's better than nothing.

Well, it may be a bit late for that ... most of us already have! But I'm sure he wouldn't object to ANY Rethuglican using "Cat Scratch Fever", or any of Ted's alleged "music" at their campaign events. Heck, Beave, I bet he'd be pretty happy if somebody (ANYBODY) played one of his CDs at home, or even in their car.

Ain't gonna be ME though.

Maybe the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Oh, wait, forgot, Mitt's not running.

Buckwheat Zydeco is a great man and a great ambassador of zydeco music.

Let's have another round of applause for the wonderful musicians who care for other people and spread the universal language of music.

If they really wanted to avoid being called out publicly by the musician, they'd check the rights first and get clearance. They get extra press, posts, tweets and visibility by the cycle of criticism and pull downs that goes wide across many parts of the web.

In wing-nut circles, a conservative doesn't suffer by being rejected by liberal artists like Neil Young, Buckwheat Zydeco, Drop Kick Murphys etc . It tells the base you're cool enough to know the music, but those PC types are such wusses - They can't deal with a principled conservative.

I'm suspicious.

But not enough to know the meaning of the songs.

So much wrong with using Keep on Rocking in the Free World or Born in the USA.

I started catching his shows at Antone's club in Austin in the '80s.

Last saw him at the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Festival three or four years ago.

I wish he'd come to the Cotati Accordion Festival this August. I'll be there.

I've heard his concerts are a blast.

Albert King
John Lee Hooker

I'm sure I'm forgetting some...

My ears wouldn't be able to take them. And that's just the warm ups for the god-awful main acts.

What would happen if their campaign just took over some random venue for their event? no lease, no insurance, no security, no contracts ? They would be kicked out, arrested for trespassing.

Buy your venue music republicans! ask the owners of the music, stop stealing!

at a public event as long as they pay the required nominal ASCAP public performance fees (like the music playing in your grocery store).

Using the music in commercials or webcasts though, would be a different story.

"Let the eagle soar!"

We'd have a fantastic country with shitty music.

Humanity and repukianism don't mix .......the turd maggots got nothing .

...who apparently contributed to and voted for Dumbya twice.

Songs like Dead Babies, Welcome to My Nightmare, Killer, and Hey Stoopid, to name just a few, would be appropriate for use by Repug "candidates."

like London Bridge, or Happy Birthday.

And if any of you DUers have never heard Bucky's music, there's plenty of it on YouTube.

You're in for a real treat!

and progressive people left in Louisiana.
