Hahaha...Boston rocker wants da Huckster to stop playin' his song

Well, if this isn't a significant development reflecting the mood of the country about the con-artist con-servatives. . .:-).
And I thought Daddy Bush's endorsement announcement of John McCain is the kiss of campaign death! From AOL and Rolling Stone:

"Weeks ago, John Mellencamp sent a letter to John McCain's camp expressing his displeasure at their use of his song 'Our Country' to promote the Republican presidential candidate. Now, another rocker had fired off a letter to McCain's rival on the campaign trail.

Tom Scholz, the man behind '70s rock icons Boston, is a Barack Obama supporter. When he discovered that Mike Huckabee performed Boston's biggest hit 'More Than a Feeling' at campaign events with the help of Barry Goudreau, a one-time guitarist for the band, he wrote to the candidate.

Dear Gov. Huckabee:

It has come to my attention that your campaign’s use of my song 'More Than a Feeling' and my band’s name BOSTON has resulted in a great deal of false information, which it now appears may exist permanently on the Internet.

While I’m flattered that you are fond of my song, I’m shocked that you would use it and the name BOSTON to promote yourself without my consent...."

1. it's alright, Huckabee has probably never listened to the song anyways

remember stupid old Raygun used to play Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA without ever noticing it was an attack on the way Vietnam veterans were treated.

2. Good for Tom Scholz.

Best part of his letter:

BOSTON has never endorsed a political candidate, and with all due respect, would not start by endorsing a candidate who is the polar opposite of most everything BOSTON stands for. In fact, although I’m impressed you learned my bass guitar part on More Than a Feeling, I am an Obama supporter.
