mellencamp unhappy about song used

The National Organization for Marriage, a group that seeks to prevent same-sex marriages, has been using John Mellencamp’s song “Pink Houses” at their rallies without the singer’s permission and he is not happy.  Mellencamp, who is for same-sex marriage, does not want his music associated with the organization and the rocker’s publicist has sent a letter to the group expressing that to them.  The note goes on to encourage NOM to “find music from a source more in harmony with [their] views.”
