Iconic singers supports Bernie Sanders

Alt darling DiFranco spoke warmly about Sanders on the podcast Kreative Kontrol. "Bernie Sanders is a really strong voice out there now, and I'm very heartened to see the momentum behind him," she said. "I mean, he's pretty darn awesome. And that's what I think we need to see more of. I mean the evidence is right there — all around the Trump superstardom — that people are longing for people to buck the system, to not play the game, to speak their mind."

Donald Trump may have the market cornered on oddball celebrity endorsements like Tila Tequila and Hulk Hogan, and Hillary Clinton may have locked down female superstars like Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian — but Bernie has the musicians.
His bench is deep. Back in September, 128 "artists and cultural leaders" signed a letter endorsing Sanders' "new vision for our country." The list cut across genres: Jackson Browne next to Jello Biafra, Killer Mike just above composer Hans Zimmer.
Since then, yet more musicians have come out to declare they're feeling the Bern; Diplo, Z-Trip and Bassnectar from the world of electronic dance music, rappers Big Boi and Lil B and rock legends like Roger Waters and Neil Young have all pledged their support to the campaign.
