UPDATE: This is fake, just so you know! Thanks, Arnt. Still funny, but not written by Heart, even though I wish it were. Now, wouldn’t ya, ba-ra-cu-daa-ah!
Due to Sarah Palin’s nickname, the Republican National Convention has been playing the tune “Barracuda” by a group named Heart.
Being very much not a child of the 1970s, I’d never heard of Heart. But after reading this hilarious letter, I took a listen, and it’s pretty good music. I think this fantastic letter is as good a reason as any to buy their album…

Where was this published? I’d like to forward, but want to authenticate first.
Thanks!

I want search engines to find this excellent letter more easily, so I’ll transcribe its content here:

Dear John McCain,
When we first learned your campaign was using our admittedly awesome 1977 classic “Barracuda” to introduce your terrifying joke of a running mate, we tried to be civil. As we wrote in our press release, “The Republican campaign did not ask for permission, nor would they have been granted that permission. We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music.”
Unfortunately, you continue to blast “Barracuda”, in defiance of our wishes. God knows why we thought you’d listen to us, two strong, creative women — I guess we’re all just “trollop-faced cunts” to you. (Speaking of Cindy, who can blame her for hitting the pills? We’d need a Demerol epidural to live through five minutes of her conjugal duties — you sloshing your saggy ass between her legs and chomping at her breasts with your little yellow teeth. We’d rather rim Meat Loaf. Seriously.)
Use work by your party’s own goddamn members, like Chuck Norris’s motivational tapes, or Mel Gibson’s audio book of _Mein Kampf_, or Bill Engvall’s Grammy-winning comedy CD _Can’t Keep My Wang Out o’ the Goat_! Just leave us the fuck out of it.
In the meantime, we’ll be donating 100 percent of the licensing fees from “Barracuda” to Barack Obama. Seriously.
Up yours,
Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart

I remember them. I did not think much of them at the time but am impressed now

Fake.
(Oh, and your blog software doesn’t let me put my real name in the “Name” field.)
