As much as I might be tempted to play “Don’t Stop Thinkin’ about Tomorrow” in honor of the Big Dog, who gave a heck of a speech, though I will refrain from remarking on the Simpson Bowles reference, I am going to stick to my announced plan to feature songs that Republicans have been told not to play. This is a band I had never heard of, before I came across an article about the fact that they had demanded that Mitt Romney stop playing their song.
Silversun Pickups is the latest band to take issue with politicos in this election year. The alt-rock band from L.A. recently sent a cease and desist letter to presidential candidate Mitt Romney to stop using the group’s 2009 song “Panic Switch” at campaign functions. The Romney campaign said it won’t play the song again.
For the life of me I can’t imagine why anyone would play this song in connection with a political campaign. It’s not a bad song, but it isn’t exactly the type of music that’s going to motivate you to vote for someone, especially Mitt Romney.
