Recently lots of noise was made about the music selections of John McCain and Mike Huckabee. Now we have an artist who has told a Democrat no moore.

Sam Moore of Sam and Dave has sent a cease and desist letter to Obama's campaign. He wants the campaign to stop playing "Hold On, I'm Coming."

Mr. Moore wrote the Obama campaign: 

    "Unfortunately, I have been contacted by various media outlets because of a story on yesterday’s Newsweek blog about how my signature song as part of Sam & Dave was blasting for 18,000 adoring admirers of yours at a rally in Dallas and how the crowd was singing along and even spontaneously changed the words to “Hold On Obama’s Comin”. Questions have included:  Why do I want you to be President?  Have we met yet?  Am I honored that my song was selected to be so important to the Obama for President Campaign? 

       I have had no choice but to set the record straight and I have begun explaining that the song was being performed at your rallies without my permission or my endorsement of you as my choice as a candidate for President and that I was writing this to you asking you to not continue including my material at your events.      

      I must request that you instruct your team to cease and desist from playing the song as I was not asked if I minded that my performance, as well as my name and the little bit of fame I enjoy, was associated to your bid to win the nomination of your party as their candidate for President of The United States of America, our wonderful country.

      I have not agreed to endorse you for the highest office in our land.

      I reserve my right to determine who I will support when and if I choose to do so."

Finally, a little fair and equal treatment from someone with a little fame.
