Just for amusement sake, after reading an article about the upcoming Vote for Change concert tour<\/a> (which doesn’t seem to be coming to Washington — aren’t we supposed to be a “swing state” too?), here’s a short and probably very incomplete list of musical artists who have supported one presidential candidate or the other. Most of this list is culled from the article, I may update it as days go by as I run across more names. Submissions will be welcome, of course.<\/p>\n

It’s a rather silly way to look at things, sure, but if for some reason you’re having problems making up your mind which way you want to vote, maybe your musical tastes can make a difference. ;)<\/p>\n
