We're guessing that they're not playing a lot of Bob Dylan around the Mike Frerichs for Treasurer campaign office these days.
One has to assume that the song "Forever Young" hits a particular open wound there down in Champaign and *has* to be on the 'do not play' list in the @MikeforIllinois Campaign Office, these days, right?
If the song happens to come on, here's a little piece of advice for campaign staff and volunteers: go tell Mike to get his favorite pair of earmuffs out of his closet and put them on. He doesn't want to hear this stuff. (If you aren't familiar with Illinois Treasurer's candidate Mike Frerichs affinity for earmuffs, check out our post here!)
From the song;
May you grow up to be righteousWith how they've run their campaign, we know Mike and team can't be rockin' out to this particular verse. Might be the opposite to how they've rolled out their campaign and candidate? Changing your position on a major issue 3 times in 2 weeks? Not courageous. Lying about your voting record in your announcement video? Not 'standing upright and being strong'.
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
A little tip to the campaign staff at Frerichs' HQ: if this song comes on the radio, get up quick. Turn it off. Or like we said earlier...put on some earmuffs. We know Mike loves them!
