B.J. to Palin: You Give My Music a Bad Name

Jon Bon Jovi just gave us a statement, bitterly complaining that Sarah Palin has been using the band's song during her rallies yesterday and today:

"We are surprised to hear that our song, "Who Says You Can't Go Home" was used by the McCain campaign at rallies yesterday and today. We wrote this song as a thank you to those who have supported us over the past twenty-five years. The song has since become a banner for our home state of New Jersey and the defacto theme song for our partnerships around the country to build homes and rebuild communities. Although we were not asked, we do not approve of their use of 'Home.'"

Jon Bon Jovi threw a dinner at his home for Obama -- $30,800 a plate. Bon Jovi is the latest to complain about McCain's campaign using songs. Heart, Foo Fighters, John Mellencamp and Jackson Browne have also griped.

301. Get over it Jon, you not important. You need to keep your political views to yourself because the public really doesn't care what you think. You just need to sing and nothing else. Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one but not everyone wants to know about yours. Chill out!

302. Obama is going to be the ruin of this country. How can you raise taxes on people when they struggling now? Excuse me but why should hard working people spread their wealth around when they have worked hard for what they have and these lazy ass people want everything given to them. Get off your sorry ass and work like I do. I have worked hard for what I have and don't think I should give it away to sorry no working noloads. Nothing is free in this life and if people think they will get free health care they are wrong. Someone has to pay, and guess what it is the working people. Obama is a silk tongue devil. I really do believe that he is the Anti-Christ. God bless us all if he gets elected.

303. 287. 269. My cousin is a brilliant economist, and a conservative. She said that McCain's "tax package" would throw this country into a flat-out depression in 4 years. No WAY I'm voting for this guy.

305. To Mr. A -

You've proven my point through and through. I really don't have to say anymore now do I. I didn't attack anyone. Just merely stated why I'm voting for Sen. Obama. You on the otherhand have proven my point with your obvious infuriated comments calling me names. Peace be with you.

306. who really cares. they are just songs. the celebs --on both sides--need to get over themselves. they actually make themselves appear quite ignorant when they get so agitated over nothing. we need to get over our party lines and party affiliations. i'm sick of only having 2 tickets to realistically choose from; and this year is the worst since neither ticket is very promising or able.

307. It is sad and really pains me to see the hatred and ignorance spewed across these pages from people. It just lets me know that we are really not very far from where we were racially, among other things, back in the 1960's. Blogs like this tell what really goes on in some individuals heads, things they would NEVER say in public... Obama is an African-American, more so than millions of others, born to an African father and aan American mother. Why do people choose to focus only on his "Black" side, when the people who raised him and shaped his life were "White"? Obama represents a unique cross section that is integral in this changing world society... He is the type of indivual that we need to take us into the future, if we are going to have any hope of staying in the forefront in the World.... It seems like the world is full of people, who can't see the forest for the trees....

Sigh~

You really have no point! You've merely mimicked (word for word) the ridiculous and hateful rhetoric coming from the Liberal media pukes and the absurd mindset of the Hollywood elite. Whatever they put out in full force for you to think....you THINK it and say it.

When you start throwing out race as having ANY bearing on this election...you've just thrown your brains out with it. It's a pathetic excuse anymore, to blame every hardship, difficulty or disappointment in our lives....on RACISM!

311. Boy I'm glad I'm not a Republican! What a bunch of mean spirited condescending jerks you are to anyone who desn't support your "All about me" bu!!$hit! Alright Jonnie Baby! BTW I think he's got enough kids with the same HS sweetheart to prove he's not gay... (IN CASE THAT'S SOME OF YOUR DAMN BIZ). I don't think "outdated has-beens" sell records for over 25 years moron. It's Bon Jovi's music, why would he want people to be mislead into thinking he supports the same BS principles that want to keep us in the mess we're in????
MCCAIN08, U might wanna get your blood pressure checked before you pop a vessel or something! See what all that up-tightness does to U??? Put down the "Hateraide" & go be nice to somebody huh? lol

Boy am I GLAD you're not a Republican either! Talk about your mean-spirited condescending JERKS! LMAO!!

Hey, here's a clue for ya...

When you want to talk about somebody being "a bunch of mean spirited condescending jerks" the last thing you want to do is turn right around and be "a mean spirited condescending jerk"! That's what us Conservative smart people call being a HYPOCRITE!

We know you liberals would like us to believe all YOUR SH@# smells like roses and all ours smells like, smells like...well, smells like SH@#, but that's not how it works dumbass.

313. "Spread the wealth around" - isn't that Mr. Obama's plan??? I can't wait until he tries to take money from the Hollyweird Liberals and give it to the less fortunate. It's called SOCIALISM people and it's what my grandfather and yours fought against!! Wake up!!!

315. Who cares? There's only 100 old, washed up KKK members and Christian cult members at any Palin rally anyway. They wouldn't even know the song came from Bon Jovi. Want to see a bunch of people at a rally you have to go to an Obama meeting.
