"I'm afraid of the attitude of the people in the White House right now," says Matthews. "This is the most important election of my lifetime, and if I don't say anything, it will sit badly...
...albums laden with anti-Bush lyrics. It’s Mary J. Blige, Missy Eliot and Eve collaborating on a cover of “Wake Up Everybody,” an old R&B hit Jimmy Carter used in his 1976 presidential campaign. It’s Pearl Jam and the Dixie Chicks cutting an album with Springsteen and joining his 28-city tour...
