Back to politics, and the rock kids are throwing their support behind Barack Obama, who, as I'm sure you all know, is currently competing with Hillary Clinton to be the Democrat candidate in this year's US presidential elections.
First up, Arcade Fire's Win Butler who, despite fronting a Canadian band, is American so is allowed an opinion on these matters. He has criticised Clinton's victory speech at the recent New Hampshire primary (where she gained some ground over Obama who is currently ahead in the bid for the Democrat candidacy). Recalling how "a bunch of college kids" were brought on stage, and how daughter Chelsea was then brought in "for a long awkward hug", Butler says: "Does anyone actually buy it? Surely young people are too media savvy to be fooled by this kind of shit. Do we live in a democracy so we can just keep electing the same families?" He continued: "Barack is the first candidate in my lifetime to strip some of this bullshit away, and I just hope we don't blow this chance".
But more importantly, what does Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz think, that's what you want to know right? Well, he's on Barack's side too. He says: "I've been an Obama supporter from day one. After watching the New Hampshire primary, I couldn't just be an observer anymore - I had to act. Barack is the first politician who's ever made me feel like our voices actually matter".
