The 71-year-old guitarist, who leads the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band with her sister Ann Wilson, took to Instagram to express her displeasure with the unauthorized use of their 1977 hit during Saturday's parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary. Wilson emphasized that "Barracuda" was "never intended for political use" and noted that as daughters of a U.S. Marine Corps major, they deeply respect military service but believe music used in such settings should reflect the artists' wishes. This marks the second time Heart has objected to political use of the song - they previously sent a cease-and-desist to John McCain's 2008 campaign when Sarah Palin used it. The incident raises important questions about artists' rights and political use of their work. Do you think musicians should have more control over how their songs are used in political contexts? Should campaigns be required to get explicit permission before using copyrighted music? Share your thoughts on this ongoing debate about music and politics.
