Don't take this as a political statement-- I'm not American and can't
vote in your elections anyway-- but I saw this on a BBC website, and
thought it was kinda cool:
"Yes, more than 40 years ago, the man who hopes to be the Democratic
nominee for US president played bass in a rock'n'roll band.
The band was forged in 1961 while Mr Kerry was a pupil at the
exclusive St Paul's prep school in New Hampshire.
They called themselves The Electras, and recorded their only album in
the school's basement...
"We put the band together to pursue the possibility of getting a
little closer to the opposite sex," the band's piano player Jack
Radcliffe tells the BBC.
"They weren't tearing our clothes off, but we enjoyed it,
absolutely," Mr Kerry told the Washington Post.
Critics say the music, mostly instrumentals, has a raw, primal
rock 'n' roll quality, in the tradition of music by Eddie Cochran and
surf bands like the Ventures..."
Wow.

Dude.. Sweet deal... Here's to hoping that someone starts bashing out
CDs of that album.. You can never have too much vintage instrumental
rock n' roll.
