New Loudon Wainwright III Political Song Haunted By The Specter Of A Donald Trump Presidency
New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Missing Piece Group) Throughout his career, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright III has occasionally turned his attention to current events, "Social Studies" (1999) and "10 Songs for the New Depression" (2010) for example. This year's primary season has once again given him something to (ruefully) sing about, so, acting like a one-man Super PAC, he�s rushed to write, record, and release his broadsided stumpsong. Titled "I Had A Dream," the song explores what it would be like if Donald Trump won the presidency. It will be available on iTunes tomorrow, but an exclusive premiere is available today on Salon who stated, "Wainwright turns his acerbic wit on the 2016 presidential election and conjures a bleak dystopian future."
LISTEN: Loudon Wainwright III - "I Had A Dream" on Top40-Charts.com:



�Initially I didn�t want to write a song about Donald Trump but sometimes in the course of human events things get so weird that you can�t look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if the horse has a real mouth on him," said Wainwright. "In the past, I�ve taken pot shots in song at political figures of fun like Jesse Helms, Newt Gingrich, Bill & Hill, Bush, Cheney, et al., but folks - this is serious. We hold some truths to be self-evident and apparently Mr. Trump does not. As Judd Apatow succinctly put it to me after hearing 'I Had A Dream,' - 'The only person who benefits from Trump now is you!'"
