This happens way too often, candidates using somebody's song without permission, even when it's an artist who surely doesn't support that candidate. And many of these politicians woul be quick to condemn citizens for "stealing music" on the internet. Glad to see Jackson Browne scored a blow for the musicians this time.

Good news: Jackson Browne won his lawsuit against John McCain! The Ohio GOP used "Running On Empty" in a 2008 campaign ad, and so Browne sued them all. And then McCain countersued, weirdly. Well it turns out that was all just election talk. The GOP settled for an undisclosed sum of money (not that Jackson Browne cares about the money!) and Senator McCain apologized, profusely.
