YES! . . . John Hall is running for Congress in my district . . .

[OneBlueSky]

against the useless Republican Sue Kelly! . . . founding member of the band Orleans, Hall has the support of my friend Pete Seeger, as well as other musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Graham Nash . . .

I saw John perform at a No Nukes demonstration against the Seabrook plant in New Hampshire somewhere around 1978 or so . . . Pete Seeger and Tom Rush were also there . . . he's written some great environmental songs, and I'll be pleased to support him any way I can . . .

residents of New York's 19th Congressional District -- We have a candidate! . . .

1. That's good news!

I absolutely love Pete Seeger. He is an American Legend in my mind. I wish that this generation had musicians who felt as passionately as Seeger and Hall and Joan Baez and all the other politically active musicians of the past.

Do you think the reason we don't hear more politically motivated music is the control of the airwaves by corporations like Clear Channel?
