Report: Sammy Hagar says yes to John McCain using “Right Now” as theme song…

2 Comments

When John McCain used the Van Halen song in the Sammy Hagar era “Right Now” for his presidential campaign on the night he announced Sarah Palin his running mate for Vice President, Eddie Van Halen himself wasn’t happy about it, saying that the presidential hopeful used the song without the band’s permission. Eddie fired back at McCain saying he had no right to use the song.

TMZ reports:

However, the man that wrote the song himself, Sammy Hagar, responded to Van Halen saying that Sammy is all cool with McCain using the song. Sammy defended the song saying that he wrote the song because “Right Now” is a political song, he says the song is basically about if you want something in life, don’t sit around and go out and get it. The song is about making changes.

“Right Now” is a hit single that was recorded for the album “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” released back in 1991. The song became one of the biggest Van Halen hits ever made.

Kudos to Sammy, I’m glad he spoke out and stepped in before Eddie threatened lawsuit on McCain. McCain don’t need anymore lawsuits by musicians ’cause he already got one by Jackson Browne. If Sammy Hagar is the one who wrote the music and lyrics to “Right Now”, Sammy owns the copyright, that means David Lee Roth has no control over that song since David Lee Roth was no part of it.

Thought: What was so amazing about the Barack Obama acceptance speech in Denver?

Leave a comment

I didn’t see the Barack Obama acceptance speech in Denver that everyone’s been raving about, they’ve been saying stuff like it’s an amazing speech and so emotional. Well I found the videos in youtube and watched the whole thing. Is it really that amazing? I was bored to tears during Obama’s speech. What was so special about it? All he did was talk a lot of negative trash about John McCain throughout most of it. Obama’s an asshole in my opinion.

Obama wants to stop the war and want to send the troops home and McCain wants to continue the war in Iraq. If Obama becomes President and he sends the troops home, then Osama Bin Laden wins, period, end of story. This is why McCain should be president because we need to finish the war and USA can win the war so we can live in peace that way. Sending troops home is not going to make peace for us, this will only make things worse if you use common sense. Barack Obama is such a dumb ass. Send troops home, this will give Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist more power.

I am still backing McCain and I’m still voting for him and Palin. Barack Obama is a joke. We need to finish what we started in the war and stopping the war now would be a huge huge huge mistake. Obama is such a fuckin’ idiot.

BREAKING NEWS: The Grateful Dead to reunite for a one off gig with special surprise frontman replacing Jerry Garcia…

Leave a comment

The surviving members of the legendary jam band the Grateful Dead will reunite for a special one off reunion show on October 13th to help raise money for and awareness of presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, and Bill Kreutzmann will reunite but will have a special guest surprise frontman to replace Jerry Garcia.

Take a wild guess on who the new Grateful Dead frontman is going to be. Yes, that’s right, it is going to be Warren Haynes, the current guitarist/singer who is now singing for the Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t Mule.

Jerry Garcia died in the year 1995 of a heart attack while living in a drug rehab clinic, it was due to his heavy illegal drug use. The band the Grateful Dead continued to tour after he passed on.

The reason the band accepted this opportunity was that they wanted to use this performance as a test for a possible future full world tour with Warren Haynes fronting the band full time.

FOXNews reports:

I would prefer Trey Anastasio being the new frontman of the Grateful Dead but Warren Haynes is real cool, I guess. Warren Haynes is an underrated musician and he could use some more mainstream recognition, this will help him get known a little more.

BREAKING NEWS: John McCain confirms Sarah Palin is his running mate…

John McCain shocks the world in this years election by announcing that Sarah Palin is his running mate for vice president.

The Associated Press reports:

You’ll have to admit that Sarah Palin is a sexy and gorgeous looking woman. That could be one reason why McCain picked her so he can attract voters.

It’s hard to believe that the election is just a few months away. My money is still on McCain on the next prez.

Sorry but I don’t like Barack Obama and don’t understand why so many famous musicians and celebrities thinks he’s so great.

Report: Famous author, Jay McInerney, talks trash at John Edwards…

Leave a comment

One of Rielle Hunter’s ex boyfriends who is a famous writer and the author of best selling novel, “Bright Lights, Big City”, Jay McInerney, has some harsh words to say about John Edwards who was cheating on his cancer battling wife with Rielle.

Jay says John is trying to distance away from Elizabeth, and said it was only a half assed confession.

More on it here:

I agree it was only a half assed confession.

I’m sick of politicians cheating on their wives and their wives forgiving him to continue to stay with him.

Why do wives continue to stay with politicians even if they are a cheating douchebag? Mostly it’s because the wife of a politician, they know they are married to a famous person, that’s why they stick with them, because of the fame. It’s an ego thing. A politician can cheat all they want and not get divorced.

That is why Hillary is still with Bill and why Elliot Spitzer is still with his wife.

Another cheating politician! Just what we need! Now I see why Edwards dropped out of the presidential campaign because he knew this would come back and bite him in the ass to get him impeached.

What a douche! How cruel Edwards can be? IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT!

Elizabeth should not forgive him and divorce his stupid ass.

Cool Video: “W.” teaser leaked to the internets!

Leave a comment

Oliver Stone’s film “W.” which is a biopic film on our soon to be former president George W. Bush has been leaked online. The film stars Josh Brolin as George W. and James Cromwell plays George Bush Sr.

My thoughts on the film? I think it actually looks pretty promising. It looks real good and I might actually go see it in theater after all. The video does not allow embedding so I will just post the link.

Enjoy while it’s on before Oliver forces youtube to take it down.

P.S. My mistake, Josh Brolin plays George W. Bush throughout the entire film, they just use makeup effects on Josh when he reaches the middle aged, James Cromwell plays George W’s father who also our President at one time. Edited for corrections.
