In a letter to the Republican presidential hopeful, Tom Scholz complains that Huckabee is using his 1970s smash hit song "More Than a Feeling" without his permission.

"Boston has never endorsed a political candidate, and with all due respect, would not start by endorsing a candidate who is the polar opposite of most everything Boston stands for," wrote Scholz, adding that he is supporting Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. "By using my song, and my band's name Boston, you have taken something of mine and used it to promote ideas to which I am opposed. In other words, I think I've been ripped off, dude!"

I've always liked Boston, and now I like them a little bit more.

Boston is a timeless classic. I thought they had some finished new material in the can prior to Brad Delp's death. If that's true I sure wish they would release it, I would love to hear it.

Bitter has-beens. They should be grateful anyone even knows who they are after this long.

OK, now you can just blow that our your ASS CLOWN! Nobody insults Boston and ever gets any respect from me ever again. One of the greatest bands there ever was. DORKWAD!

How could they be has-beens when still KGON plays "More Than a Feeling" every hour?

I wonder how Limbaugh has gotten away with using the Pretenders "My City Was Gone" all these years. Crissie Hynde doesn't approve, but she didn't write it.

Publicity stunt for an aging rock band time forgot.

Yeah seeing as Boston as a band is collectively all vegetarian, members and ardent supporters of PETA and Greenpeace as well ... I can see where they would want to tell Huckabee to pack sand.

As the owner and creator of copyrighted material, Boston has every right in the world to tell Huckabee not to use their work as a theme song to his candidacy.

"Bitter has-beens."


This better discribes the troll.

Bitter has-beens.

The HUCKster is TOAST!

The HUCKster is the HAS-been....

ABBA tells McCain Don't take a chance on me.

Mccain needs to get some good old Hank Williams music.

John Mellancamp also told McCain to quit using his music recently.

I remember when George W. Bush was using the song "Still the One" by Orleans, and they demanded he quit using it. I would think by now that someone in these campaigns would get permission from the artist before using their work to avoid any bad pub.

Little River Band's "Lonesome Loser" would probably be more fitting for McCain!

Or

"Old Fascist Love Song" by Three Dog Night

Bush songs:

I'm The Slime by Frank Zappa
Loser Two Times by Peter Green

Hucklebee song:

Religion's Dead by The Pretty Things

McCain Song:

Old And In The Way by Dave Grisman

Hillary Song:

Bitch by Mick Jagger/Keith Richards

That's an insult to each of those artists!

We need to find songs by more appropriate "artists" like the Spears sisters, those out-of-work boy bands, Milli Vanilli, David Hasselhoff, Mrs. Miller, American Idolist has-beens, or some other sucky singers.

Telly Savalas.

And Leonard Nimoy.

Pat Boone. Oops, David Duke isn't running this time.

"The Bitch is back" by Elton John would be a perfect song for Hillary Clinton.

Oh wait a minute, thats the song I play when my X is in town!

And of course the bi-partison song:

AC/DC "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"

Mccain should use Big John.

McCain should use "Old Man" by Neil Young.

or "This Old Man."
