'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door
So, I'm watching a PBS show on Lyndon Johnson while catching up on things. And then comes his first run for Governor of Texas where re ran against Pappy O'Daniel. And yep, he used folksy music in his campaign.
My family being from Arkansas, I can appreciate the use of folksy music in a campaign. I didn't know there was any other kind of campain music til we moved to Detroit and discovered Smokey Robinson.
David, exactly. Although the film clip of him on top of a bus with his "old timey players" was just surreal.
"Well, you know, it was a well run campaign, broom, midget and all."
Rick, now Smokey would be excellent political material. Maybe a little Marvin Gaye or Barry White as well. I should say that I actually do like folk music and have many CDs of traditional, blue grass, and modern folk music.
