The ongoing conflicts among the surviving band members spilled over to the 2008 Presidential campaign . Barry Goudreau appeared with Mike Huckabee and played with him at some rallies in New Hampshire. Huckabee used “More Than a Feeling” as a campaign theme song. Scholz, a self-described ” Obama supporter”, sent an open letter to Huckabee in February 2008 stating that the band had never endorsed any candidate, and that he had never authorized the use of “More Than a Feeling” as Huckabee’s theme song. Scholz made a point of saying that he, and not Goudreau or Sheehan, actually played all the guitars on “More Than a Feeling”, as well as most of Boston’s songs. Huckabee eventually stopped using the song for his campaign.
