The Music Gap 0
Tony Norman remembers the parade of singers and stars who protested the use of their songs by Republicans and wonders why an entire class of potential Republican support was ignored. A snippet:
Ironically, there are several fiscally conservative hip-hop stars who probably would have loved to have been approached for their support. Why wasn’t LL Cool J asked to license “Mama Said Knock You Out” for large rallies in Ohio and Pennsylvania? And is there a bigger capitalist in all of popular entertainment than longtime George W. Bush groupie 50 Cent? Why didn’t the Republican National Committee seek the support of these outspoken black Republicans? I think the answer is obvious.
Indeed.
