Election Day Music

[carmenbeaudry]

Here's my musical selections for Election Day 2004. Not all of them are politically motivated, but they're all commentary on some aspect of our society. A couple of them I'm sad to say are still very topical, even after all these years (Won't Get Fooled Again, for one).

Might I make a suggestion??
"Franco Unamerican" by NoFX, ESP the live version from Conan O'Brien. It's funny as hell and good.
