I wanted to add Tom Petty to your list and went searching. I found this list on one website. Notice that not ONE of the politicians is a democrat. It is because most rock and rollers are barking moonbats and don't mind giving a freebie to fellow lefties. There are some exceptions (Nugent).

In Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign, his use of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." upset The Boss, and ultimately had to refrain from any Springsteen songs or associations.

In 2000 George Bush jr. was forced to back down from using Tom Petty's track "I Wont' Back Down" for his campaign entrances when Petty hit Bush with a letter from a lawyer.

John McCain's 2008 "My Hero" campaign came to a fast halt when the Seattle rock group rejected McCain as a hero of their own and forced him to immediately stop using the track.

In 2008, American songwriting machine, Jackson Browne sued the GOP and John McCain over the use of his track "Running on Empty" in political commercials.

In even more 2008 McCain rallies, John Mellencamp's tracks "Our Country" and "Pink Houses" were heard blasting over the sound system. The Cougar pounced on the opportunity to end the illegitimacy and the songs were never used again.

2008 Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin may have been nicked named "Barracuda" for her viciousness on her high-school basketball court, but that didn't convince the members of the group Heart that Palin's use of their hit "Barracuda" was appropriate. The group expressed their political differences with Palin, demanded she discontinued the use of the song, and Palin was silenced.

A track from Tom Petty's catalog was hijacked once again in 2011..this time by Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Bachmann who chose the song "American Girl" to represent a Bachmann rally opening, was never permitted to use a track by Petty again.

Earlier this year, Newt Gingrich was immediately barred from using the Rocky III anthem song, "Eye of the Tiger" by the group Survivor.

Libtards are beyond being mere barking moonbats, the Zappa children and Dee Snider ENDORSED Al Gore in 2000 after he and his wife famously went after the music industry (notice how his wife doesn’t give a $#!^ now). It was all a ruse but they are still ignorant fools for endorsing him.

He whipped up hysteria, as I suspect his daddy told him to, just as Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver (D) played up the “degenerate” images in comic books to get public attention. Kefauver’s national run for the White House kept Al Gore Sr. from being able to get on the ticket. images in comic books to get public attention. Kefauver
