U.S.--Swedish Relations

By wt

John Cougar Mellencamp (you'll always be a Cougar to me) won't let McCain use his songs for his campaign.

And apparently, ABBA's royalties are too high to use Take a Chance on Me.

?It gets expensive in a big hurry and if you?re not careful you can alienate some Swedes,? he joked.?If word gets out to Stockholm that we?re using Abba music, then there?ll be a worsening in U.S.-Swedish relations.?

This is surprising, since we know McCain doesn't have money problems anymore.

But it's also a little strange that McCain wants to use "Take a Chance on Me" as a campaign song. I guess maybe it's tongue-in-cheek, which I can appreciate with McCain's sense of humor. But it sounds like a lot of people might not get the joke.

And since when did ABBA help anyone appeal to the far right?
