I did not know this about the lead singer: Michael Been (March 17, 1950 – August 19, 2010) was an American rock musician who achieved critical attention and rotation play on MTV in the 1980s with his band The Call. He later released an album of his solo work and toured with his son's band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
His song "Let the Day Begin" was the official campaign song of Al Gore's 2000 U.S. presidential campaign. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Been
