US 2008 Election Playlist (blues, goth, magazine, Grammys, quote)

Some suggestions:

"Won't Get Fooled Again"- The Who. Of course. Obvious, but painfully relevant. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

"Shot By Both Sides"- Magazine. I'm pretty sure nobody is truly gung-ho about either major party candidate.

"Lipstick"- Buzzcocks. For all the wrong reasons...(here's praying that, in the future, this song won't always conjure up images of Sarah Palin. ::Shudder:

"Masters Of War"- Bob Dylan. "A world war can be won/You want me to believe."

"I Wanna Be Adored"- The Stone Roses. "I don't have to sell my soul; he's already in me"

"Shipbuilding"- Elvis Costello. "It's all we're skilled in"...thanks to outsourcing, etc. that's actually pretty accurate these days.

"Blues From A Gun"- The Jesus & Mary Chain. For anyone who's feeling more paranoid as the election date nears. "Too young kid, you're gonna get hit/Looks like you're never gonna make it off the government list."

"Crucifixion"- Phil Ochs. A completely different meaning in this context, but still valid. "The eyes of the rebel have been blinded by the blind" indeed!
