The Wendy's deal was a buzz-kill for the band's fan base, the suit says, causing one fan to comment in an online blog that after hearing "Blister in the Sun" in a commercial, "My ears perked up. Then my jaw dropped. Then my heart sank."
Violent Femmes bassist Brian Ritchie isn't happy about it either. So he's suing Violent Femmes vocalist Gordon Gano over it saying the use of the song in the commercial has hurt the reputation of the band.
