Musicians vs. politicians
From SALON.COM a slide show of musicians standing up for their right to say where their songs are used in the political arena. The thing I don't understand is after all the hoopla during the Reagan campaign about his misuse of "Born In The U.S.A." why would ANY politician regardless of party use someone's music without first checking with the artist? "Oh, yeah, we politicians are supposed to be beyond reproach. Oh yeah, the public is dumb and won't notice. Oh yeah, our people are incompetent and don't think we'll get caught. Oh yeah, trust us. We're smart. We cover all the bases. Oh, I mean, 'Oops'".
