Talking Heads
Former Talking heads star David Byrne is suing a Florida politician for using his Road To Nowhere hit as a campaign anthem - without permission.
The rocker is seeking $1 million (£666,600) in damages from state Governor Charlie Crist, for using the 1985 song in an online ad attacking his one-time opponent Marco Rubio.
Byrne filed his suit on Monday in Tampa, Florida and said; "I was pretty upset by that... (This) is not about politics... It's about copyright and about the fact that it does imply that I would have licensed it and endorsed him and whatever he stands for."
Byrne is being represented by attorney Lawrence Iser, who helped Jackson Browne win a copyright court battle against former U.S. presidential candidate John McCain, who illegally used Browne's song Running on Empty as a campaign song.
Iser says, "I was fairly astonished that this soon after the settlement of Browne vs. McCain, yet another politician with national aspirations is doing this again."
