Various underground musician types, including Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys,
Hal Willner (wasn't he in the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy?) and
David Was have thrown their weight behind the campaign of third-party
US presidential candidate Ralph Nader, by
putting beats to his
speeches, making some quite respectable spoken-word tracks.
Worth checking out even if you're not American.
