Why Raise Hell When You Can Raise McCain?
So I woke up this morning and heard on the radio that John McCain's getting sued for using Running on Empty, a song by Jackson Browne, in one of his anti-Obama ads without permission. That McCain, what a maverick.
I doubt he's losing sleep over it though, because another artist, John Rich, actually digs McCain enough to give him his own song. It's called Raisin' McCain, and while it bears a slight satirical resemblance to Raining McCain in name and subject matter, Rich's effort is actually not a joke.
That's some catchy shit right thar. And is it just me, or do sequins give our star-spangled banner a little more oomph?

f scott key lost his copyright a long time ago
as it was he swiped the music which was probably in public domain
the only instance i know of a composer outliving his
copyright was irving berlin saying goodbye to legal protection on alexander's ragtime band when the great berlin was 94......
That's pretty great lol..I'm sure McCain is ever so grateful!
