CL political editor Wayne Garcia broke the news yesterday that Jimmy Buffett will be performing gratis at a Barack Obama rally scheduled to take place Sun., Nov. 2 at Ford Amphitheatre (follow the link for free ticket info and all that good stuff). I plan to attend. Should be a good time. I'm no Parrothead but Buffett knows how to host a party (and sell mad merch). Plus, I haven't seen Obama rock the house since he played the Cuban Club in Ybor City way back on April 15, 2007! ( Anyone else still have their "I'm an Obama fan!" fan from that day? Mine is on my cubicle wall. That's how I knew the exact date without googling it or anything.
Anyhow, here's my list of tunes Buffett should play for Obama.
Top 10: Tunes Buffett should play at Obama rally
1. Changes in Attitudes, Obama's a Rad Dude
