Here comes another one! Jon Bon Jovi isn't happy that his country-tinged hit "Who Says You Can't Go Home" has been played this week during rallies headlined by Sen. John McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin. The singer, a vocal and financial supporter of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid, issued a statement to TMZ:
"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.'"
Bon Jovi held a private fundraiser at his home in September that raised a reported $4.1 million for the Obama campaign. It really seems like music artists are getting tied into these political campaigns and either signing on to play a huge concert for their Presidential pick of choice or they're simply saying, "Hey, I don't want to be your soundtrack!"
