Apart from very
similar social policies and enlightened progressive views
on society - there is another bond that links founding
member of the Electras Senator John Kerry and British
Prime Minister Tony Blair - that would certainly enhance
the Special Relationship between the US and UK under
a Kerry presidency.
Both men have
a great love of contemporary music and displayed their
team-player qualities in their younger days by playing
in rock bands with friends.
John Kerry played
bass in his high-school rock band The Electras between
1960-1962. And Tony Blair played guitar in his college
band The Ugly Rumours in 1971.
Both
Kerry (who subsequently took up playing guitar) and Blair
- have continued to make music occasionally. And both Kerry
and Blair are Beatles fans. So summit meetings between
the two leaders might lead to the occasional jam session.
The other members of the Electras look forward to being
invited to the Kerry White House and inviting Tony Blair
to sit in with The Electras.
