Heart Doesn't <3 The Republicans

Several conservative bloggers are already claiming that "Heart sucks now anyway" in response to Ann and Nancy Wilson's - as well as Sony's - cease and desist letter regarding Sarah Palin's prancing around at the RNC to the classic tune from the 70's.

Of course, as this is a copyright issue, Ann and Nancy have every right to do what they did.

The band issued the following statement:

"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."

Ironic in-deed.
