Oh..My..Gosh...!! John Kerry is SO COOL! He's a snowboarder and a cyclist and plays hockey and was in a rock band! What else does John Kerry do? Maybe he attends raves and listens to Asian Dub Foundation and does heroin, because all that is really killer. Like, I can't wait until I'm old enough to vote! (sarcasm off)

This story reminds me of all the woe in the world that would have been avoided had certain people have succeeded in their original profession.


Kerry as a rocker.
Castro as a ball player.
Farakan as a calipso singer.
Saddam as a lawyer. (I think).
Che as a physician.

He was in a prep rock band. Big deal.

Now he says he "understands" the issues in rap and hip hop. Ask him to define the difference between rap and hip hop.

Lindgren circled it all the way back to Kerry himself, who, four decades later, could have hardly expected to see that bit of memorabilia waving at him in the middle of a Rock the Vote fund-raiser in Boston.

Really now? John Kerry attended a fund raiser for the "non-partisan" 501(c)3 tax cheating Rock the Vote?

Did they even bother to invite President Bush or any of his staff?

dude I don't know if I should ping the Rock and Roll list... they'd probably want to raise hell with me!

ugh, I am ashamed to be a bass player today.

nah, I take it back. Being a bass player is still cool!

What, exactly is the difference? I've always thought that hip-hop has more of a dance/r&b vibe to it and that rap is harder-edged verbal barrage and lots of scratching/sampling. Enlighten me, if you can! :)
