Twisted Sister front man Dee Snider is the most recent of a growing list of musicians who are outraged that Republicans like Ryan and Romney are using their music such as “We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore” to rally conservative crowds. Needless to say, they’ve ‘borrowed’ the tunes without permission, and in all cases reported here, the artists are far from politically simpatico with the Romney-Ryan team.
Previously Ryan stated that ‘Rage Against the Machine’ was his favorite band, causing guitarist Tom Morello to express that the admiration doesn’t flow both ways. Romney’s use of the Silverson Pickup song ‘Panic Switch’ garnered yet another cease and desist order. Finally, Samoli/ Canadian rapper K’NAAN said NO to the Republican dynamic duo, but would happily grant Obama use of his song “Waving Flags” which deals with prejudice.
