Debate Dropout

I didn’t watch the debate last night. Not sure if I will find the time to watch a tape, either. Instead, I caught Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, John Fogerty and crew at the Meadowlands, a fundraiser for MoveOnPac and ACT. The highlight finale was all of them singing, with Eddie Vedder, “People Have the Power,” the Patti Smith tune. Irony of ironies–that was and is Ralph Nader’s campaign theme song. And in 2000, Vedder was at Nader’s Madison Square Garden super-rally singing it. Times do change.
