Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and Bernie Sanders to release collaborative single

" It's no secret that Bernie Sanders has found an avid group of supporters among the music crowd. Neil Young gifted him a song, Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear, and Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at his rallies, and Killer Mike has become a campaign spokesman.

Now, the Democratic presidential candidate has teamed up with Sonic Youth co-founder Thurston Moore for a collaborative single. Entitled “Feel It in Your Guts”, the track “is a twelve-string acoustic piece laced with excerpts from Bernie Sanders’ speeches, touching on topics like the worship of money, economic inequality, social justice, and the need for basic human rights for all people.”

Joyful Noise Recordings will release 1,000 hand-numbered copies on square, white flexi-disc vinyl, with a screenprinted cover art by David Kloc. Every copy will be given away for free to those who make individual donations to Sanders’ campaign. The track is also available as a free digital download. "

CBS: Ex-Bill Clinton adviser says there's a chance Hillary Clinton won't win nomination

"A former political adviser and pollster to former President Bill Clinton says there's a chance Hillary Clinton won't win the Democratic nomination for president.

In an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Douglas Schoen laid out possible scenarios.

"A Sanders win in California would powerfully underscore Mrs. Clinton's weakness as a candidate in the general election. Democratic superdelegates--chosen by the party establishment and overwhelmingly backing Mrs. Clinton, 543-44--would seriously question whether they should continue to stand behind her candidacy," he wrote.

California is among six states holding primary contests on Tuesday and the Golden State has 475 delegates up for grabs.

Schoen argues that Sanders might offer a rules change at the Democratic National Convention that would require superdelegates to vote for the candidate who won their state's primary or caucus.


"If Mr. Sanders wins California, Montana and North Dakota on Tuesday and stays competitive in New Jersey, he could well be within 200 pledged delegates of Mrs. Clinton, making a vote in favor of the rules change on superdelegates more likely," Schoen said. In 2008, the gap separating Clinton from then-Sen. Obama was 102 pledged delegates -- about half of Clinton's lead over Sanders.

Schoen also said that Clinton's argument that she would be a strong candidate to beat Donald Trump in November doesn't reflect recent polls that show the race could be very close."
