It Ain't Me: Music and Politics I somehow missed the fact that Sarah Palin's nickname.".barracuda.".so when Heart's song of the same name followed that awful John Rich song last night at the RNC, I was kinda confused. As you may have heard, Heart have joined Van Halen and Jackson Browne in not wanting to be associated with the Good Ol' Party: Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women.

As the best times I'd had in my youth involved doing weird things like smelling the shape of my curtains, having a jolly good time riding around in newspaper taxis, and nodding.

Question I'm watching the RNC right now. Why did they play the hit song ?Footloose? by Kenny Loggins, AFTER Sen. Sam Brownback spoke? I mean, of every senator, you'd think he'd be the last you'd play that after seeing how he's the same type of uber-conservative, sanctimonious Republican in the same mold of John Lithgow's conservative preacher who tried to have such music banned in his town in the movie Footloose.
