5. McCain used it at a few rallies.
Eddie VanHalen asked him to stop.

6. Have you seen this video..Mr November by the National?
They played Lollapalooza this past year, and they played a free show in Cincinnati, along with the Breeders, with proceeds going to the Obama/Biden campaign. They even sold Mr.November shirts with Obama's face on the front, with proceeds going to the campaign.

8. I agree. The only truly moving song Van Halen ever did, and it'd be perfect for this campaign.
I love that video, too.

11. Perhaps,
But Eddie VanHalen isn't. He made McCain stop using it.
