The GF and I were watching Michelle Bachmann's presidential candidacy announcement speech last night on C-SPAN -- yes, I know, not only am I a glutton for punishment but I force my neuroses on other innocent victims as well -- when Tom Petty's "American Girl" came on just as she finished. I turned to her and said: "I promise you, by the end of the day tomorrow Tom Petty will be demanding that she stop using that song."
Didn't take that long...
“NBC News: @TomPetty unhappy with Michele Bachmann’s use of "American Girl" and in process of issuing [a cease and desist] letter,” Matt Ortega reported on Twitter only hours after hours after Bachmann used the popular song to kick off her campaign.
She shoulda used Cat Scratch Fever or Stormtroopin'. He wouldn't mind.
