Para Ganar Obama

February is Barack History Month. The man is on fire. He was expected to dominate the caucuses and primaries this month - but his decisive win in Maine, a Clinton-friendly state, must have surprised even him. ("Remember the Maine" has a whole different - and happier - meaning in his campaign.)

Still there's one demographic that's up for grabs. Will they get the Barack fever?



Major props to my pal Mario Correa (he of the perfect handwriting) for collaborating on the lyrics with me. And I could not have done this without the support of my longtime band mates Mario "Thumbs Hendrix" Torres (on guitar) and Shankar Tablaba (on the "barackas"). I am not now nor have ever been interested in a solo career. (Suck it, JT!)

As always, kudos to the genius of both my producer Will Hines and the not-always-grumpy editor Doug Morrione. (Will someone be his Valentine?) Thanks also to Tim Meyers and Justyn Davis for magically transforming my bedroom into such a rocking set.
