Donald Trump may have the market cornered on oddball celebrity endorsements like Tila Tequila and Hulk Hogan, and Hillary Clinton may have locked down female superstars like Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian — but Bernie has the musicians.
His bench is deep. Back in September, 128 "artists and cultural leaders" signed a letter endorsing Sanders' "new vision for our country." The list cut across genres: Jackson Browne next to Jello Biafra, Killer Mike just above composer Hans Zimmer.
Since then, yet more musicians have come out to declare they're feeling the Bern; Diplo, Z-Trip and Bassnectar from the world of electronic dance music, rappers Big Boi and Lil B and rock legends like Roger Waters and Neil Young have all pledged their support to the campaign.
