Arcade Fire play for Obama
Arcade Fire are the latest musical group to throw their support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Last night at Stuart’s Opera House, the Canadian partially American band performed at an Obama rally in Nelsonville, Ohio.
Among songs performed was a cover of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.”
Pitchfork has photos and setlists. On the other side of the ticket, Jenna Bush recently proclaimed her love for Arcade Fire.
Others musicians/bands who support Mr. Obama include Bright Eyes, M. Ward, the Grateful Dead, Arrested Development, Foals and the Cool Kids.
Don’t forget to vote tomorrow!
