Rally Around The Campaign Music!
Last post concerned blue-collar working for a living music. Different songs and bands. Got to thinking...hmmm...what are the songs 2016 President candidates are spinning and playing at their campaign rallies. I have heard "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by Rolling Stones, "Revolution" The Beatles, "Tiny Dancer" Elton John, "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister played at Donald Trump Rally's on C-Span. Bernie Sanders played a David Bowie song "Starman" at the end of a televised rally. Bernie Sanders recorded a record album years ago. For a look at Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and other former 2016 presidential candidates song choices, read pieces below.
President Richard Nixon played accordion and was an accomplished pianist. President Bill Clinton played Tenor Sax on The Arsenio Hall Show. Mike Huckabee is a bass player in a group called Capitol Offense, and Martin O'Malley is in a Celtic band called "O'Malley's March". Businessman and Entrepreneur Donald J. Trump is the former star and creator of the long running hit Tv series "The Apprentice" soon to be starring Arnold Schwartzeneggar, former Governor of California, movie star and World Famous bodybuider.
Off Topic Prediction: Even more future politicians and Presidents from Business, Media (First was Ronald Reagan Radio, Movies, Television, California Governor, U.S. President 1981-1989) and possibly Sports. "The times they are a changing" to quote Bob Dylan.
