Someone (tr?) posted a link to the letter from the Wilson sisters asking the Republicans to stop using "Barracuda" to introduce Sarah Palin.
Wonder if he (or was it she) saw this? http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/barracuda.asp
Oh well, EE, I guess they *wanted* it to be true.
As usual, the truth isn't black and white... but a shade of gray, somewhere in the middle.
From the FWIW department... the letter that was posted was false.... but thestory itself was partially true. Members of "Heart" did send a letter to the McCain campaign asking them to stop using their music. McCain's people replied that they have the right to use it as they had bought and paid for the necessary licenses. (This info is from the same Snopes page that BR linked to)
It also goes on to say that one of the band members wrote to McCain saying that he was going to donate a portion of his royalties for the use of this song to the Obama campaign.
So the letter was bogus, but the background was based in fact. Shades of gray.
