A duke. A mysterious prophecy. Two daughters: one mobbed by suitors, the other . . . not so much. And all set to the beat of 1980s pop icons the Go-Go’s? An Elizabethan love story is turned on its head in this exuberant musical by playwright Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q, The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler), inspired by Sir Philip Sidney’s 16th-century pastoral romance, Arcadia. This world premiere promises a delicious mix of razor-sharp wordplay, infectious songs and romantic surprises.

I never look to singers/actors for what they think.
Maybe gives Bernie more publicity?

But then Bill Maher gave $1 Million to Obama's PAC. I think celebrities can certainly play a role in fund raising.

When you're tweeting for Bernie, and many thousands or millions of people are reading your tweets, it helps reach people.

Her fellow former Go-Go, the very left-wing Jane Wiedlin, was very disparaging about her politics back in the day.

for a couple of years, but that was more because he was James Mason's son than his GOP bona fides. Their son is an LGBT activist and Democrat.

I do remember Morgan and his siblings making a stink when their father made his second wife his sole heir. That seemed pretty prickish to me. They're still married though, almost 30 years now.
