Steve Earle's 1996 post-election song 'Christmas Time in Washington' was written after Clinton had been elected for his second term, and suggested that while Earle was good with that outcome, he wondered if it mattered. He'd express regret for that sentiment at the end of the next election in 2000. But the song's plea for a progressive choice, a progressive voice, struck a chord with a lot of people.
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow
Here's a great feature on Steve Earle by the UK's Independent.
