John McCain has been having a lot of trouble lately finding musicians willing to let him use their music. He’s run afoul of John Mellencamp, twice, and even used the song of a Democratic Congressman. We understand, it’s hard work calling people up and asking them if it’s OK to use their music. Because running for president is such hard work and there are so many details associated with it, we wanted to make things a little easier by creating a list of all the bands/artists that would prefer the McCain campaign not use their work. We hope to turn this into a valuable time saver so they can get on to more important things, like learning more about the VP pick. If you’d like to be added to the list, let us know or leave a message in the comments and we’ll put you on.
ABBA – Take a Chance on Me

Well you could add Mellisa Ethridge and the Boss there just by default since they Endorse Obama… and would probably prefer McCain stay out of their catalog.
