You know him as a politician, Democratic presidential hopeful,
and perhaps you know he's a former athlete/hockey player. But
did you know John Kerry is also a closet garage band rocker?
National Public Radio just did a piece on Kerry's prep school
days and the band he played in, The Electras. They waxed a
record, sold about 100 copies, and somehow NPR found
someone with a copy.
On the radio, The Electras played Eddie Cochran's "Summetime
Blues," with a real twangy, surf-style guitar break. Kerry was the
band's bass player.
