The stench of being affiliated with Obama will hurt each and every one of those artists. They ought to take a hint from Kelly Clarkson and promote someone with both brain and heart.

I can't help but think that the inclusion of "No Doubt" is a subtle jab at the opposition...

So THAT'S how Arcade Fire won the Grammy last year...

Stop making playlists and pandering to the MTV masses and start fixing the f'n economy. All talk and no action.
