Who says the Romney campaign is boring? The house band at his Super Tuesday election night rally in Boston just played “Poison” by Bel Biv Davoe. And, yeah, I almost fell out of my seat in shock (and delight). “Never trust a big butt and a smile…”
Today, I am parked in Akron, Ohio, where Mitt Romney is set to campaign later today. Akron is, of course, the former home of The Black Keys, a band that has made many appearances on my campaign 2012 playlist. For your viewing/listening pleasure today: “I Got Mine” from their excellent album, “Attack and Release”
A friend introduced me to the Heartless Bastards, a band formed in Cincinnati (where Mitt Romney is campaigning tonight) that is now based in glorious Austin, Texas. “The Arrow Killed the Beast” is off their latest album, “Arrow.”
You can’t go to Atlanta, where Mitt Romney is campaigning today, without listening to “B.O.B.” by Outkast–especially around the 1:50 mark. (Bonus Georgia cuts: “Southern Hospitality” by Ludacris and “Private Idaho” by The B-52’s.)
