'We all get a chance' Some songs can cross party lines, such as 'Only in America', the Brooks & Dunn song that Obama used after his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention last month. President George Bush had used the same song during rallies in 2004. Kix Brooks (left, with Ronnie Dunn) of the country duo told 'Rolling Stone' magazine that he wasn't angry about Obama's using the song. Rather, 'Very flattering to know our song crossed parties and potentially inspires all Americans,' he said.
