Your Campaign Walk-On Music

Cafe Society

You’re running for political office (didn’t know that, did you? about time I filled you in! :D), something high enough up the ladder that it involves lots of staged appearances, complete with your own walk-on music (aka walk-up or walk-out music) when you go on stage. Apparently it’s something that candidates do nowadays.

So: what’s your walk-on music?

I’m going with “Ain’t No Man” by the Avett Brothers. No particular reason, just an upbeat song of recent vintage that I identify with. Seems like a good song to put a bounce in my step as I walk on stage.

(At this point, seemingly nothing is a disqualifer anymore)
