Election Day Poll: Who would play at your inauguration?
November 06, 2012
In case you haven't noticed, today is Election Day. Millions of Americans will flock to the polls to decide whether to reelect incumbent President Barack Obama or to turn the White House over to Republican challenger Mitt Romney — not to mention choosing Senators, Representatives and local officeholders, plus deciding on countless downballot propositions and amendments.
Here at The Current, we strongly encourage you to vote — MPR News has provided a polling place finder and a tool for choosing which candidate best suits your views.
To celebrate the joint traditions of American democracy and rock'n'roll — and, on that note, you should take a look at Current program director Jim McGuinn's take on what music best captures the American spirit — The Current is asking you to consider a question that is surely just as pressing as the questions you'll answer at the polls today — if you were elected President, what band would you invite to perform at your inauguration? A couple rules: you are allowed to reunite bands, but not resurrect
dead musicians. Let us know your pick in the comments section below!
