Yesterday, Mitt Romney kicked off his campaign by rocking out to Whitesnake's Here we go again. From reporters covering the event:

I asked David Coverdale, an old friend of the site, what he thought of Romney using his song. After all, Coverdale went after the McCain campaign in 2008 for using the same song at campaign rallies. His response:

Under no circumstances did I, or anyone else in my organisation approve the use of my song, 'Here I Go Again'  for Mr Romney's political campaign. Now if President Obama wants it ... it's his!

Figures the Romney campaign would kick off its effort by stealing other people's intellectual property without permission.
