Obama v McCain
The American election is all very exciting. Far more exciting than anything we could ever hope to see over here.
No doubt you've already decided who you're voting for, even though you can't (unless someone's reading this in the US), so go on - who gets your vote?
Me? Obama.
Why? Because I think he's an interesting character, he seems sensible and reasonable and normal, and I'm dying to see what effect his becoming president will have not only on the US but on the world.
Most importantly, however, it's because John McCain is older than my dad, and I wouldn't want my dad becoming president of anything other than the Caravan Club. Plus, when he drops down dead due to the stress of it all, there's the scary thought of Sarah Palin being left in charge. And we wouldn't want that.

Can't we just have one forum on the net not dominated by this election?
You're right
What the world needs is more banging on about an American cop series that many of us saw a year ago.
Seems you're not the only one feeling that way...
I was just interested, that's all.
How would it affect the musical output...
... of the American (and British to some extent) left, if (as seems likely) Obama wins?
I'd imagine Neil Young might not have quite so many political songs to write, and our very own Thea Gilmore won't really be able to tell her anecdote about being on stage with Joan Baez when she sang "We Will Overcome" for the first time in aeons...
On here, I'm not really wanting to go into the straight politics - just how it affects American culture.
The best Sixties pop/rock. . .
wasn't under Kennedy - the early Sixties were desperately dull until Phil Spector and the Fabs hit their stride post-Dallas - but under LBJ and Nixon's administrations. Perhaps pop needs pricks to kick against, or jams to kick out, or something.
Vote now
Obama gets the world vote. Fancy That

I want McCain to become President
of the Caravan Club.
Only then, when he has ordered the towing masses to invade Iran, will our roads finally be clear of the scourge that is the caravan.
A bit harsh, Vulpes
I always thought it was one of the standout tracks on Moondance. Don't blame the song for the puce jumpsuit that it was most notoriously sung in.
