Kevin Devine has a few great new songs out for download, including the ironic and smart “Love Me I’m a Liberal” (listen here), a modern day take on the Phil Ochs classic. With Conor Oberst evolving so ethereal with metaphor, it is refreshing to hear the shaky wail of direct, personal and political lyrics.
I’m very excited about tonight’s show. And tomorrow’s rain! (non-sequitur)
Kevin Devine covers Sinead O’Connor’s “Black Boys on Mopeds” - I was obsessed with this song in the late 90s and used to sing it in the shower. all. the. time. Stick around at the end for Kevin’s poignant thoughts on women who speak their mind. More relevant than ever as gender once again morphs into a wicked ace in the presidential election.
Sinead’s original, so beautiful.

The last 18 months have led up to Barack Obama accepting the nomination on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
Obama is authentic, a good man, on the Up and Up. Michelle is mad cool too.
“…at defining moments like this one, the change we need doesn’t come from Washington. Change comes to Washington. ”
I’ve made my preference clear, but this week is about party solidarity and moving forward. Clean Slate ‘08™. Onward.
- Brooks & Dunn though? Really? Haha had to get one in.
