I haven't followed the whole thread. Just saw this and thought I'd do a drive by & post...
No More 'Pink Houses' For McCain By Brandon Barker Feb 5th 2008 12:20PM Whether he was lobbying for a John Mellencamp endorsement for his presidential bid or simply looking for a rousing, all-American song to rally his supporters, we will never know. Because, according to Rolling Stone, the popular heartland rocker has quietly asked Republican Sen. John McCain to stop playing "Our Country," "Pink Houses" or any other Mellencamp tune at his political events. Mellencamp, a balladeer of middle class sufferance, is a Democrat and, until recently, a supporter of John Edwards' 2008 presidential campaign. In fact, Mellencamp even interrupted a performance of his song "Small Town" at an Iowa concert so that the former North Carolina Senator could let it be known to the crowd that he too came from a small town. The crowd had a mixed response, as you can imagine. But this leaves McCain in a real bind. With his campaign gathering support and delegates, now comes the time for his staff to nail down a campaign song. And, during this stormy political season, Toby Keith is just not going to cut it. Though a Republican, McCain is still a folksy man-of-the-people, a war hero, a gritty underdog who all-out demands a good American-penned tune. But with patriotic artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and John Mellencamp off-limits to conservatives, where does he turn? http://news.aol.com/political-machin...00010000000001 |

Bono loves everybody. McCain can pick a U2 song. Sure Edge, Adam, and Larry might be pissed, but they'll get over it. ![]() |

Haha, Mellencamp did the same thing to Reagan back in '84 when Reagan was also trying to use "Pink Houses" in his campaign. I always wondered if Reagan had actually bothered to listen to the lyrics...

Reagan thought that "born in the USA" was a patriotic song.

Did any of you watch Michael Moore's Canadian Bacon? There is a great scene where John Candy is driving up to Canada (the movie is basically a story of an American president who decides to start a war against Canada to improve his ratings), and in the pick up he's singing Born in the USA, then gets past the chorus, pauses, and keeps singing Boooooorn in the USA!! on endless repeat.
