Crow Dedicates Track to Obama at Dem Convention
Various artists, including Sheryl Crow, performed in support of presidential candidate Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention Sunday night. The event, which took place at Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Denver, also played host to performers like Dave Matthew and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Crow showed her support for the Chicago senator with the dedication of her song, "Strong Enough," singing, "Are you strong enough to be my man, or my president?"
"What I'm hearing from Sen. Obama is a lot like what we heard from Robert Kennedy," Crow told her audience in between tracks. "No matter what campaign ad we see or how it's spun, hope is important. It's what this country was based on."
According to the Associated Press, Obama's alleged "celebrity" did not scare the musician off from speaking out for the candidate and his newly announced running mate, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden.
"That tag that Sen. Obama's been given is a campaign ploy, obviously, by the Republican party," Crow said. "I don't see him hanging out. I have yet to see him at any celebrity events."
The Democratic National Convention will kick off officially on Monday, taking place at the Pepsi Center.
