Secretary of State Deb Markowitz kicked off her campaign for governor today. And to promote the event, her campaign sent out a list of songs that she will play at the event.
Here's the list:
Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)
Dierks Bentley
Back On the Train
PHISH
Rock with You
The Jacksons
Blinded by the Light
Bruce Springsteen
The Best
Tina Turner
Shining Star
Earth, Wind and Fire
Sir Duke
Stevie Wonder
This is Our Moment
Kenny Chesney
Ain't No Stopping Us Now
McFadden and Whitehead
Still the One
Orleans
Use Somebody
Kings of Leon
There are some interesting choices here – who knew Deb was a Kings of Leon fan? But did we really need to hear "Still the One" one more time? That song should be retired from all future political events for the safety of voters' ears. And an eagle-eared reader clued us in that "Rock With You" is by Michael Jackson, not the Jackson 5.
