Put Them In Coach

I didn't watch as much of the RNC as I did the DNC, but for musical purposes the DNC trumped it with its Old School Soul. But outside of "Barracuda" (its use now ticking of the Wilson sisters) the only other strange song I heard was "Centerfield". That one has been used by Democratic candidates, but its use at the the Repubs convention should really tick off John Fogerty. But he and other non-Repubs like Heart may not have a say in it. The venues pay ASCAP or BMI to use the songs under some strange ruling, which means that artists don't get a say in the matter. But from Jackson Browne, Mellencamp on down candidates do stop using the songs.
