Ghost of Johnny Cash on Saxton campaign

Country music fans and the estate of Johnny Cash would like to acknowledge the Republican political establishment and Ron Saxton campaign for their unauthorized use of a Johnny Cash song in a partisan press release.

Wow, that's a petty and pointless post.

The Saxton campaign doesn't need authorization for that changed Johnny Cash verse. It's squarely nestled in the fair use exception. A strong dislike for Saxton doesn't change that fact.

And are there non-partisan press releases from campaigns?

"Petty and pointless" is pretty much how I'd describe the actual release. And incompetent.
