David Coverdale Slams Record Companies And Endorses Obama For President
Vocalist David Coverdale of rock outfit Whitesnake slammed the big name record companies and expressed his support for American Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama in an interview with the Liverpool Daily Post. In the interview Coverdale stated:
"I welcome change. It’s nature’s way. I can’t help but laugh when I see the major record companies clinging desperately to the old-fashioned way of doing business and are being left behind in the new, technological dust. It’s a new playing field, lads and lasses, and if you want to score goals you have to move with the times and reinvent how you do most things. As Mr Dylan says ‘the times they are a-changin’ and I think to resist will be painful and uncomfortable, so, I’m moving on, boys and girls – you coming?"
He also stated in regards to politics:
"I’m a Barack man – apparently, once you go Barack, there’s no going back. I feel he’s the best hope by far in restoring the ideals of America, the respect it has lost around the world over the past eight years. It’s been hopelessly off course with the current useless ’ayporths. I can’t wait to see the back of them."
