Noticed today in a Twitter search for “soft rock”:
Tough aspect of covering these events: you have to endure a lot of soft rock. Now playing: “More than a Feeling” #Romneyrally

@j_freedland More Than a Feeling is brilliant. It’s when you get into the Chicago back catalogue you need to worry.

@j_freedland meanwhile you could have been bouncing to Jay Z and The Boss at the Obama rally in OH

@j_freedland ‘Endure’ !?Sounds like a rather delightful perk of the job! #justanotherbandouttaboston

@j_freedland You are lucky. I have a massive great brass band at this Bill Clinton rally.

@j_freedland I see you more as a dubstep sort of guy

@j_freedland That is a bad tune. I hope whoever loses plays If You Leave Me Now by Chicago youtube.com/watch?v=32GdEF…

@j_freedland Jay-Z appearing at Obama rally in Columbus right now – seems you’ve drawn the short straw – or maybe not 🙂 !!!

@felicityspector I’d tolerate a lot of soft-rock for the joy of seeing the Big Dog run
