Carole King Is On The Prowl For Hillary Clinton Voters In New York City

[savalez]

SOMEWHERE IN THE WEST VILLAGE, NEW YORK — Walking through the streets of the West Village to rally support for Hillary Clinton, Carole King, the famed singer-songwriter, is confronted with a problem: not everyone believes that she is, in fact, Carole King.

This can be frustrating at times, but it is hardly unexpected. Door-knocking is the grunt work of a presidential campaign — the task of the college-aged plebs who have the time, passion and stamina to do it. No one reasonably expects a four-time Grammy Award winner to be the one pushing your buzzer, asking for a few moments of your time to talk political shop.

But King enjoys being part of a campaign. Really, she’s a junkie for this stuff; someone who, in between getting honored by the Kennedy Center, writing novels and consulting on a musical about her life, dives deep into environmental advocacy work and regales you with stories from presidential campaigns past. Take George McGovern, her first time volunteering: “The concert went well, the election didn’t.”

This cycle, Clinton is King’s candidate. And if electing Clinton requires face-to-face interactions with complete strangers, well then, pavement she will pound.

2. Love Carole King

I've seen her in small group settings in many presidential campaigns. She is as delightful a human being as she is a legendary songwriter.
