Composer Apologizes for Air Force/White Stripes Controversy

The White Stripes say the Air Force Reserve used one of their songs without permission in a Super Bowl ad, and that they are insulted their song was used to encourage recruitment during a war they don’t support.
The two-member band, which is originally from Detroit, said the ad made unauthorized use of their song “Fell in Love With a Girl.”
“The White Stripes support this nation’s military. … We simply don’t want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict,” the band said in a statement posted to its Web site.
