Michele Bachmann Uses Tom Petty’s Song Again
Not getting the message
Despite the much-publicized demand from Tom Petty to stop using his music as part of her campaign, Michele Bachmann played Tom Petty’s ‘American Girl’ again last night after a speech in South Carolina.
The singer was reportedly nonplussed that Michele Bachmann played his “American Girl” classic when she officially kicked off her presidential campaign in Iowa Monday.
Yet the song blasted over the loudspeakers again immediately following Bachmann’s Tuesday night speech in South Carolina.
After playing for exactly 29 seconds, it abruptly stopped. There was just enough time for the lyrics: “Yeah, she was an American girl – raised on promises.”
Then “Walking on Sunshine” came on in its place.
