Gee, shades of Srah Palin trying to use "barracuda" as a theme, only to get smacked down.

Stick to ted Nugent, he is the only rocker you can buy.

1. The Romneybot has many "talented" "musician" to chose from who support him.

Ted Nugent
Kid Rock
Pat Boone
Most of the country community

2. From the linked article:

"We don't like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking, and we don't like the Romney campaign," frontman Brian Aubert said in a statement to E! News.

Did the stars align behind Mitt Romney's pick for vice president?

"We're nice, approachable people. We won't bite. Unless you're Mitt Romney! We were very close to just letting this go because the irony was too good. While he is inadvertently playing a song that describes his whole campaign, we doubt that 'Panic Switch' really sends the message he intends."

3. Check out the Silversun Pickups on the Bob Dylan tribute album "Chime of Freedom"

This one of the best albums I've bought in my 40 years buying albums.

All Profits go to Amnesty International.

5. It seems to be standard procedure for republicans.

Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen also asked republicans to stop using their songs during the last election cycle. I'm sure there are others, too.

Edited to add that I really like the Silversun Pickups. Good group.
