Did you catch the Republican National Convention? The song Barracuda by Heart played when Sarah Palin finished giving her speech. Here's what Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson had to say about the McCain campaign using their song as Palin's theme:
"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there." [SOURCE]
As they say at McDonld's: ba-da-bop-bop-ba... I'm Lovin' It! And with that in mind...
