Folk legend voices election frustration

Leon Rosselson celebrated his 75th birthday last year, and 50 years of
writing and singing topical and political song. A luddite at heart,
Leon was still writing his songs and books on his typewriter when the
rest of us were embracing word processors and computers. Yet, when a song is written specially for the election and has a limited shelf left, there’s no better way of sending it out into the world than YouTube.

Inspired by election (or not), Leon’s new song, Talking Democracy Blues, offers an antidote to the posturing of platitudinous politicians pleading for our vote. Check it out at:
