ThinkProgress reports that throughout the U.S. presidential campaign season, Sen. John McCain and the Republican party have continually drawn the ire of musicians by using their copyrighted material without permission.
Now yet another band is complaining. Yesterday, the most excellent rock band Foo Fighters issued a statement telling McCain to stop using their song “My Hero“:
“The saddest thing about this is that `My Hero’ was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential,” the band said in a statement. “To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that PERVERTS the original sentiment of the lyric just TARNISHES the song.”
John McCain. What an asshole.
