What's an election season - anymore - without some candidate misappropriating some song for their purposes without paying royalties?
Tom Petty reportedly issuing cease and desist letter to Bachmann
“NBC News: @TomPetty unhappy with Michele Bachmann’s use of ‘American Girl’ and in process of issuing [a cease and desist] letter,” Matt Ortega reported on Twitter only hours after hours after Bachmann used the popular song to kick off her campaign.
Petty also issued a cease and desist letter to then-Governor George W. Bush for illegally using “I won’t back down” at his rallies.
But then maybe he's easily irked?
He told the Bush people that he wasn't at all happy their use of his tune made some sort of implication that he was supporting Bush, which would have been wrong.
With regards to the beautiful but mentally inert Ms. Bachmann, and in keeping with her so-called gaffe in which she appears to be praising John Wayne Gacy, this observation comes along, in context, ...from a former repub, no less:
To make matters worse for Bachmann, former RNC Online Communications Director Liz Mair made this observation about Bachmann’s use of the Petty song: “Isn’t that what the kidnapped politician’s daughter was singing in ‘Silence of the Lambs?’
It most certainly was.
What is the matter with this morbid woman?
