OK, that bit of schlock was custom made for Johnny... but what came on after that, I find it hard to believe that many of the artists would have allowed it, had they been asked.
Heart's "Barracuda?" I doubt seriously Nancy and Ann would have let 'em use that, although the lyrics "If the real thing don't do the trick / you better make up something quick" does have a certain amusing irony.
EW&F's "September?"... all that did was make the Republicans try and dance. And that was just WRONG.
"Celebrate?"... Kool and the gang just ain't if they let 'em use that song. More Repub dancing. MAKE IT STOP!!!
John Fogerty's "Centerfield?" I hope John takes a page from his past and sues them for using his song. If you've listened to his latest "Revival," you could believe there's NO WAY that he'd let these chumps use his music.
Of course, I could be wrong, and the conventioneers secured permission from the proper licensing authorities for the use of this music.
I mean, what do I know? Johnny Ramone was a staunch Republican. Go figure.
