Rocker Dee Snider is unhappy with Republican vice presidential
candidate Paul Ryan for using Twisted Sister's 1984 hit "We're Not Gonna
Take It" as intro music at a rally yesterday in Pennsylvania, reports Talking Points Memo.
"I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my band Twisted Sister's
song, 'We're Not Gonna Take It,' in any capacity," Snider said. "There
is almost nothing he stands for that I agree with except the use of the
P90X."
Snider's not the first musician this year irate over Republicans' use
of their songs: Just last week, Silversun Pickups told Mitt Romney to stop using their song
"Panic Switch" at campaign events. Ryan recently expressed fondness for
the music of Rage Against the Machine, prompting a pointed response
from guitarist Tom Morello in a Rolling Stone op-ed.
