The Bush campaign abruptly stopped using the 1970's hit "Still the One" at campaign rallies Friday after the songwriter, no fan of the president, claimed the Republicans never got permission. John Hall, a former Democratic county legislator in upstate New York, co-wrote the song and recorded it with his band Orleans in 1976. He complained on Friday morning about the campaign playing the song at the president's events. The cheery pop tune was opened and ended a Bush campaign rally in New Hampshire Friday, but then vanished from the political playlist. "Out of deference to Mr. Hall's views, the song will no longer be played," said Bush campaign spokeswoman Nicole Devenish. Later, upon learning of the campaign's decision to pull the song, Hall welcomed the news and said, "It's obviously attractive as a slogan, but this election should be about content and facts."
