"Hamburger Lady" with some steel guitar on it would be an instant crossover classic. Clinton or Obama could go for the urban/youth market with a Lil' Wayne remake of "Discipline."

I actually probably would pay money to see the latter happen.

I think "Hard Times" would harmonize with the Edwards platform.

I can't imagine 'Oh Death' getting the crowd to worked up though, I trust he went with something else...

Don't you be disrepectin' Dr. Ralph, now, smart-mouth city boy.

Seriously though given the theme Edwards is shooting for how did Jay Farrar get passed over for this set? Or Mellencamp for that matter...
