- Authors
Yearsley, David
- Abstract
The article discusses the use of music during the Democratic National Convention, specifically focusing on the inclusion of songs by Prince and Maren Morris. The author highlights the energetic and liberating nature of Prince's music, which was used to boost the image of the vice-presidential nominee, Tim Walz. The article also mentions the controversy surrounding Morris's song "Better Than We Found It," which had to be modified to remove a metaphor that was deemed too provocative. Overall, the article explores the role of music in political campaigns and the ways in which it can convey messages and evoke emotions.
