Voices Kerry
With his five-for-seven showing in (Til) Tuesday's primaries, it's time for Democratic front-runner John Kerry to keep up his johnmentum and pick a campaign song. Thankfully, the political strategists at Low Culture have some ideas for the junior senator from Massachusetts including Mr. Mister's "Kyrie," Kansas'* "Carry on My Wayward Son," and The Beatles "Carry That Weight," all with pros and cons. The key it seems is to pick a song with a vaguely positive message such as Bill Clinton's use of Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" and to avoid using a song just because it has your name in it, advice Al Gore with his use of "You Can Call Me Al" failed to heed. LC also has some pointed suggestions for the Bush camp.
