Tom Scholz, the chief songwriter and founder of the band Boston, has written to Mike Huckabee, complaining of his use of the groupâs 1976 song âMore Than a Feelingâ in his presidential campaign without permission, The Associated Press reported. A former band member, Barry Goudreau, has played the song with Mr. Huckabee at campaign events. Mr. Scholz, who supports Senator Barack Obama, Democrat of Illinois, for president, objects to the implication that the band has endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Huckabee, a Republican. âYou have taken something of mine and used it to promote ideas to which I am opposed,â Mr. Scholz wrote. âIn other words, I think Iâve been ripped off, dude!â In response, Fred Bramante, who was chairman of Mr. Huckabeeâs New Hampshire primary campaign, said: âGovernor Huckabee plays âSweet Home Alabama.â Does that mean Lynyrd Skynyrd is endorsing him?â.
