Some songs just transcend divides

   I’ve got to say I was really impressed with The Temptation’s response to Romney using “My Girl”. I’m about 97% sure he is supporting Obama. True Class Act.

Twisted Sister? This guy should be excited anyone one wants to play their crappy music, even if it was Paul Ryan.

  Some songs just transcend divides
When Ann Romney finished her speech at the Republican National Convention, production crews keyed up the The Temptations' "My Girl."

But how do the The Temptations feel about that? The group's original member was OK with it. He felt the song is a good song and can transcend all borders.

However, many other musicians don't like it when their music is used by politicians.

Twisted Sister's front man told Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to stop using "We're Not Gonna Take It." He wanted the politician to stop because he didn't agree with anything the politician stands for.

I was impressed with the Temptations as well. Yes, he is an Obama supporter and handled with very much class. He is a refreshing reminder of days gone by.

It does make Twisted Sister seem rather foolish doesn't it. Yes, we wrote and released all these songs...and reserve the right to choose who plays it? hmmm.

Keep your sorry a$$ music to yourself if you don't want people playing it.
