Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been duking it out for months
over who would best lead their party and the country into the future.
But Wednesday night, it seems, Clinton is just fine with living in the
past. According to her campaign, she’s set to headline a Boston
fund-raiser aimed at mobilizing young women voters. The musical
entertainment: the Goo Goo Dolls, a sappy alt-rock band that enjoyed
their biggest hits back in the days when Bill Clinton still lived in
the White House. Now before the hate mail starts rolling in, yes, we
know the Dolls still tour, and yes, "Iris” remains, somehow, a mainstay of late-night FM radio dedication hours, right up there with the seemingly unkillable “Lady in Red.” Yay
for royalties. But headlining a fund-raiser to pump up young women?
It's not like Hillary couldn't get anyone else. Her ties to Hollywood
and the entertainment industry are well documented and even regarded
with some degree of jealousy by her fellow Dems. Earlier this year,
hip-hop impresario Timbaland hosted a fund-raiser for her. So what
gives? All we know is, Barack Obama had better get on the phone now
before Hillary locks up Collective Soul, too.
