Talking Heads singer sues Fla. governor for $1M

MIAMI – Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is being sued for $1 million for using a Talking Heads song in a campaign ad without the band's permission.  The band's ex-lead singer David Byrne sued the governor Monday in Tampa for using "Road to Nowhere" in an online attack ad against Marco Rubio. He's the likely Republican nominee in the race for Florida's open U.S. Senate seat. Crist is running as an independent.  Crist's campaign spokeswoman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.  Byrne said in a statement his fans might not respect him as much if he lets his songs be used in ads.  Sen. John McCain was sued for using Jackson Browne's song "Running on Empty" during his presidential campaign. The lawsuit was settled and included a pledge by the GOP not to use any musicians' work without permission.
