Don’t Stop Believin’ Mitt Romney Will Get A Better Convention Entrance Theme Song Than Paul Ryan!

It will be interesting to see what songs Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney use for entrance or post-speech themes for tonight’s and tomorrow night’s GOP convention speeches.

It’s hard to find a good entrance theme when most cool bands seem likely to disagree with your platforms.

After Paul Ryan named Rage Against The Machine as one of his favorite groups on Facebook, the band’s guitarist Tom Morello, in a Rolling Stone Op-Ed piece called Paul Ryan:

“the embodiment of the Machine our music rages against.”

For Rage Against The Machine fans, we guess that’s kinda good thing, because if they had no machine to rage against, the band might have nothing to sing about.

According to the Daily Mail, the Silversun Pickups sent Mitt Romney a cease-and-desist letter asking him to stop using their song “Panic Switch.” Seriously, Mitt, aren’t you a little bit old to pretend to be up on the latest alt-rock music? You’re not the hip-hop Grandma from the movie the Wedding Singer.
