Barack Obama Distances Himself from Hyper-Literate Progressive-Rockers

I fear Barack Obama may be losing his grip on the all important hyper-literate progressive-rocker demographic. According to a recent interview, Brent Scowcroft will be a major influence on the foreign policy of an Obama Administration. Scowcroft, as readers of this blog would know, was the basis for the villain in the Decemberists music video for 'Sixteen Military Wives'. In that video, 'Henry Stowcroft' , a composite character based on Henry Kissinger and Scowcroft, attempts to take over the model UN at his elite private school with amoral tactics. Eventually he gets what's coming to him, as the France-led international community turns against him, in this brilliant Wes Andersonesque music video.



Until recently, the Decemberists have played at some Obama events in the Pacific Northwest. ...The Decemberists are also known to open their shows with the Soviet National Anthem (No evidence that they support class and race-based genocide however). Obama distancing himself from the vanguard of the hyper-literate indie rock scene is clearly a post-primary move to the center.

It's a hot story. Check back at this blog regularly for updates, as it develops. Obama's fiery rhetoric towards Luxembourg will be reported here first.
