Further to Elana's earlier post on Pink Floyd's endorsement of Obama, the Coachella music festival also saw another quasi-endorsement but this time from rock royalty. Prince being Prince, his endorsement was typically delphic.
The Los Angeles Times' review of Prince's gig put it this way:
Not one for explicit political commentary, Prince prefers to reach for a more transcendent goal. "I'm so tired of debates, I can't stand it any more," he said, encouraging the audience to participate in an antiwar chant. "All of you young people, are you ready to launch this new golden age?" he asked.
Who else is tired of debates? Barack Obama.
Sadly, the Minnesota primary has already passed, so His Purpleness's endorsement is less valuable than it might have been. Anyway, here's a blurry YouTube clip of Prince at Coachella covering Radiohead's Creep.
