It's not Fred Thompson's best week ever. Yesterday George Bush introduced an Admiral as surprisingly rooted in show business. ''After all, he is humble, well-grounded and filled with common sense. Not exactly what one thinks about when they think of Hollywood values."
Secondly, the actor finds himself on the campaign trail with a member of country band Big and Rich. That begs the question for the rest of the candidates, what musicians best get your values across and who do you want on the bus? To add to the challenge, what song? Candidates in italics have already selected a campaign song. For the rest, one has been selected for you.
Some have been chosen for appropriate band names, some for the mental picture of the road trip. If the band is defunct, I ask that they reunite. This is only a tentative list, so start thumbing through those album collections. Yes, albums. Barack has listed his two favorite bands as Stevie Wonder and Earth Wind and Fire. Submit your choices - I'm hoping for at least one coffee spit take today.
Bonus track? A link to Alan Keyes singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Bonus Fact? Barry Cowsill of the family band who performed the hit song "Hair" was lost to Hurricane Katrina. Don't know if Edwards knew that when he chose the song for his video, but it ties in with his New Orleans campaign kickoff.
