News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
With the presidential campaign entering its final weeks, both candidates' celebrity supporters are speaking up. And here are competing endorsements from the twangy end of the musical spectrum. On one side, we have bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley representing the blue; and on the other, country scion Hank Williams Jr. representing the red.
We report, you decide.
David Menconi has been the News & Observer's music critic since 1991. Before that, he spent five years at the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo. He has a masters in journalism from the University of Texas and a B.A. in English from Southwestern University. You can find more of his writing here.
