Yet another band is complaining about John McCain's use of a song to promote his campaign. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.

The rockers sent out a missive telling the Republican presidential candidate to stop using "My Hero." They said they learned it was being use through news reports.

"The saddest thing about this is that `My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential," the band said in a statement. "To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song."
Foo Fighters Fight Back

Those of you who have been paying attention know that McCain continues to fall on his face when it comes to picking let's-try-to-appeal-to-the-boomers music for the campaign.

Here are some superb examples:

• Clueless In The USA
• And The Hits Just Keep Coming
• Republican Head Stuck In Anatomical Orifice
• More Astonishingly Stupid Stealing

Will Kenny Loggins jump in to the fray? The McCainanites are now using Loggins' "Danger Zone," from the movie Top Gun.
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone

Comforting, isn't it?
