Veteran rocker Jon Bon Jovi has joined the expanding roster of artists who do not want their songs to be used in Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign, stating Wednesday that he had not been asked for approval for the use of “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”

Another week, another artist who complains about John McCain’s presidential campaign’s use of their songs without seeking permission.

Wednesday, it was Jon Bon Jovi’s turn to comment that that he and the band did not approve of “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” being used at rallies for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

In a statement released to celebrity gossip site TMZ.com, Bon Jovi explained that the song, off Bon Jovi’s ninth studio album, 2005’s “Have a Nice Day,” had been written as a sign of gratitude towards their longtime fans, who had supported the band over their 25-year career.

The lead singer went on to say that the song has become “a banner” for their hometown, New Jersey, and a theme song for the band’s partnership with non-profit group Habitat for Humanity.

He concluded his statement expressing the band’s disapproval of the song’s use by the Republicans.

Previous artists and bands to have complained in a similar fashion include rock group Heart, John Mellencamp and Jackson Browne, who even filed a lawsuit against McCain and the Republican Party in August.

The most recent to join the roster is rock band the Foo Fighters, who released an impassioned statement earlier this month over the use of their song “My Hero.”

Ironically enough, Jon Bon Jovi hosted a grand fund-raiser dinner for Democrat Barack Obama last month, at his New Jersey home.

In September, singing supporters of Obama’s, including Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow and Kanye West, released an album of songs used at Obama rallies. All proceeds will go to the Obama-Biden campaign before the Nov. 4 election.
