While I'll have more to say later on the big-picture of yesterday's mid-term elections, this story is an interesting political sidebar for music fans.
Editor and Publisher reports that John Hall, former leader of Orleans was one of the many Democratic Party candidates to have a surprise victory yesterday:
John Hall, leader of the rock group Orleans that recorded such hits as "Still the One" and "Dance With Me," has won a stunning upset in his race for Congress in upstate New York, narrowly defeating Republican incumbent Sue Kelly 51%-49%.
Update: November 9, 2006:
Crooks and Liars now has video of Hall's appearance last night on the Colbert Report. Hall sang the national anthem with Colbert (who wasn't too bad at all as a harmony singer) at the segment's end.
