Yeah, I'm scared that he won't. I'm considering volunteering for the Obama campaign, because the alternative is just.... *shudders* Celebrity Deathmatch I'd like to see: Nancy Wilson vs. Sarah Palin My money's on Nancy.
I was absolutely horrified when I'd heard the RNC used Heart's Barricuda. Heart is one of my favorite all-time bands, hands down, and I know they sure as hell don't support the Republican platform in any way, shape or form. The Sisters Wilson tried to play nice when the Reps first used the song, in that they requested their music not be used. That request went unheeded. They are now filing a cease and desist order. IF they still hold the publishing rights to the song (and I think I recall them being one of the few bands/song writers who fought to retain their publishing rights), they can sue the hell out of McCain and Palin for using their song without permission. I'm also curious to know if the RNC paid ASCAP and NARAS fees to play music that is still under copyright laws. If not, they should get popped for that too. And, yes, my money would also be on Nancy for Celebrity Death Match. She wields a mean axe!
EFF YOU SEE KAY YEAH!!!!!!! Oh speaking of Heart... My family wants me to come home to celebrate family birthdays that weekend...
Did you tell them Heart, Cheap Trick and Journey are here? And...Melissa is playing up in Marin County on your b-day....I say go to Heart concert with me, then go to LA on Sunday!

I did, but do we know for sure if we would be able to get tickets? I wouldn't go down and back on the same day on Sunday. We'd have to reschedule the whole family.
I'm already planning on just buying tickets regardless. I know once I am inside, I can get upgraded. Heh...it's your b-day weekend, make the whole family reschedule!
In related news...Not offended: Brooks & Dunn at Obama's use of "Only in America", used previously by W in both of his campaigns.
Yeah but it's my uncle's b-day weekend as well. His birthday is the day after mine, and his schedule is even tighter than mine is. Basically it's that weekend...or November.
Welcome to my world of being too busy to do everything, and having, at times, too many options. Never seems to fail that I will have a few free weekends, then all of a sudden a gazillion things I want to do fall on one day. The universe really needs to plan better so we can do it all!
I'm not the one with the tight weekend schedule. My uncle is. But yeah in terms of small social events I'm always busy and having to make choices. His stuff is like...BIG stuff, though--more of an "I already have plane tickets to Hawaii" kind of thing.
Wack. Well he's still on my shitlist until he apologizes to the Dixie Chicks. Until then I still say FUTK.
LMFAO....some Rep called the Obama's "uppity." This just in...McCain's wife wore an outfit to the convention that cost $300,000.00. Now, I get that she's a beer heiress, but really? The Reps really may want to look in their own yard's before they go shooting off their mouths about other people!
I'm going Kayaking this weekend again!! after I finish all my homework!! (well, most likely before... )
They priced the entire ensemble: http://www.vanityfair.com/online/politics/2008/09/cindy-mccains-300000-outfit.html
I see... the earrings are the big ticket there. wow.. so much money.. hard to wrap my mind around a thing so little.
