Mrs Clinton's Favourite Songs:
Born in 1947 and graduating from college in 1969 and Yale Law School in 1973,
Hillary Clinton would have gone through the same kind of music and possibly appreciated similar pop stars in the three decades that this blog is familiar with i.e. the 50's, 60's and 70's.
"I'm a child of the sixties," she told a Philipino audience once. According to Rolling Stone magazine, she grew up with The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who and The Doors. Except for the last group, more of a British influence?
During her college days in the 1960's she was rockin' and rollin' to King Elvis and Motown's vocal favourites, The Supremes. Currently, she's supported by top music makers Elton John, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Quincy Jones and screen money spinners like Steven Spielberg, Leonardo Dicaprio and George Clooney, all loved by the 60's and 70's generation of fans and adulators.
Joni Mitchell Chelsea Morning by cowdogmoof
Like the lady she is, Mrs Clinton would definitely love the song, I Am Woman (1971), by Helen Reddy, praising female acts like country and western star Loretta Lynn, today's singers Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga. Naturally, she is all for female empowerment.
She had these power ladies on stage to perform in Philadelphia during the Democratic National Convention in July. Carole King, living legend, sang, You've Got A Friend followed by other current pop super stars Kate Perry and Jessica Sanchez. The theme song for the evening was Stronger Together, written specially for the campaign and the convention.
According to her, these women are the best at what they do; whether they were fronting soul bands, writing dance anthems and lyrics or crooning ballads about young love and heartbreak, she finds them very impressive and amazing. She has thirteen special songs to follow her on the campaign trail and include pops by Jennifer Lopez, Marc Antony, Kelly Clarkson and others.
Wiki biography wrote that the Clintons chose the name Chelsea for their daughter because they love the 1969 Judy Collins pop hit by Joni Mitchell, Chelsea Morning. The name was also inspired by their London visit when they popped into the Chelsea neighbourhood during Christmas in 1979.
Apparently Mrs Clinton has a music playlist on her iPod and they were Respect (1965), by Aretha Franklin, Beautiful Day (2000) by U2, Take It To The Limit (1975) by the Eagles and the Beatles worst number one hit. Could be, Hey Jude (1968).
She loves Shania Twain's, Man I Feel Like A Woman (1995) and Fleetwood Mac's Landslide (1975). Mrs Clinton enjoys classical music too, depending on her mood. Songs are effective communicators and below are some of these tongue-in-cheek quips (?) that Mrs Clinton might use:

Love Me Tender (by Elvis Presley): Definitely not to Donald Trump.
It's Now Or Never (by Elvis Presley): To her campaigners all the time.
Stand By Your Man (Tammy Wynette): She did, didn't she?
Promises, Promises (Dionne Warwick): Her supporters after the election.
It Doesn't Matter Any More (Buddy Holly): After 8th November, 2016.
The world will probably know whether she'll be on top of the hit parade come 8th November in 2016 or she will be out of the Hall Of Fame as 45th President of the United States. It's never easy to predict a hit parade chart.

It would be interesting to find out what 60's and 70's pop songs some of our Ministers in charge are listening to and compile individual lists.
Come on guys, cut the stress and strain. Listen to music more often and tell me what you listen to. Write in soon.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are almost exactly the same age, but they don’t even seem to be from the same generation.
“I come from the ’60s, a long time ago,” she said during a 2015 debate. Trump does too — but not the campus 1960's. He’s from the Rat Pack 1960's.
It’s remarkable how his mannerisms, his speech patterns and his general mien precisely reflect the ring-a-ding-ding heyday of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin — the hippest cats in show business way back in 1962.

Hi Andy, Happy Teachers Day even though we have all retired. Enjoyed reading this piece about HC probably the next POTUS. Was at bmss 2 days ago and as usual shared with others about your blog. Keep writing, kawan. KM
A special thank you KM. Appreciate your support all these years. And grateful for spreading the blog to our friends and colleagues across the MOE. Hopefully they will tell the children too.
A HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY TO YOU.
A good writeup on Hillary. Thumbs up Andy ����
She had polio as a child and it weakened her so she was unable to fret some of the more difficult chords. So to compensate for this she devised these alternate tunings so she could get the sound she wanted while still being able to fret the chords.

Whatever it is, we've lots of well known actors and film producers and businesses, planning to move to Canada if Trump wins the Presidency.
Singer supporters of Clinton use extremely band language in lyrics to condemn Trump.
Clinton getting more and more ridiculous and to put words to a song lyric is a shameful and disgraceful act.
Trump the politician knows the danger and the gamble I'm sure.
Birds of a feather flock together. Real artistes won't disgrace themselves.
