Michael McDonald--he's a dem, who knew?

[AlCzervik]

not me.

[JustAnotherGen]

1. Ooooh

Who knew. But that voice. That beautiful voice!

[npincus]

4. I'll second that.... WOW.

[DangerousRhythm]

20. Yes! His voice is one of those that epitomizes the early 80s for me.

He was in everything! Ever see that SCTV parody of him running to the studio to appear in Christopher Cross's song? :rofl:

He was awesome and he rocked the anthem!

[Fenris]

2. Not sure how I feel about that.

[AlCzervik]

5. i'm neither here nor there on it, i just didn't know.

[WinkyDink]

14. What's not to know? Ought we not welcome such a happenstance?

[my2sense]

3. ooohhh - I lurve Mike McDonald

:)

[blondeatlast]

6. That's MY National Anthem. Gorgeous song. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. Taking it to the streets .... was pretty radical

Doing a fine job on this song

[AlCzervik]

9. true, i forgot about The Doobie brothers.

[Sanity Claws]

8. I would have suspected it

His singing is very emotional, very heart-wrenching. How could a guy with so much feeling not be a Democrat?

[Thrill]

10. I love his music

[EC]

11. As I remember all the guys in Steely Dan were liberals

look at their lyrics...

[dolo amber]

12. He does have a very liberal beard

:shrug:

[Cha]

13. I never knew Michael McDonald but

now I'll remember him as the Dude who rocked the National Anthem at Mile High Stadium August 28, 2008.

15. Yacht Rockers...

...for Obama!!!

[SallyMander]

16. Anyone else thinking of The 40 Year Old Virgin?

:rofl:

[rufus dog]

17. He goes way back

God Damn I am getting old!

Back in the day he worked with MUSE along with Springsteen, Jackson Browne, the Orleans guy who is now the Rep from NY.

[Left Is Write]

18. I've always just assumed he was a liberal.

[FatDave]

19. Of course he is!

First of all, he's a musician, which by itself gives him a 95% chance of being liberal.

Then consider The Doobie Brothers. The Doobie Brothers for cryin' out loud.

And a lot of work with Steely Dan, and though I've never heard Fagen or Becker say much explicitly political, their fascination with freaks, outcasts and other oddballs sure doesn't imply conservatism to me.

21. In 2004

I paid good money to see Michael McDonald and many other fabulous musicians at a fundraiser for Dennis Kucinich
