Beyonce's pantsuit, Tim Kaine's playlist, and other Presidential pop music news

It's been a busy final weekend for pop cultural Presidential campaigning.

Stevie Wonder and Katy Perry stumped for Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia. Joe Piscopo opened for Donald Trump in Florida. And Beyonce made a fashion statement endorsement by appearing in Cleveland in a polka dotted pantsuit with Clinton, plus a host of other hip-hop stars including Chance The Rapper and her husband Jay Z.

But let's start with Tim Kaine's playlist. In the Democratic vice presidential candidate, there's a true music geek in the race. Kaine is a harmonica player and an avowed Replacements fan - he's read Bob Mehr's Trouble Boys bio and can quote "Bastards of Young" lyrics off the top of his head.   His running mate's Spotify playlist may feel like it was programmed by a selection committee, but Kaine's is full of gems, from Bob Dylan's "Buckets Of Rain," Charlie Parker's "Cool Blues" and Flaco Jimenez' "Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio," plus deep cuts  by Lucy Dacus, Alabama Shakes, Bruce Springsteen, The Who and The Carter Family. Listen to that below.

On the pro-Trump front, the news of the weekend - besides New Jerseyite Piscopo adding his name to the list of celeb supporters all-in for the Republican candidate, along with Ted Nugent, Scott Baio and Wayne Newton - were the whisperings that maybe Dave Chappelle, the elusive, revered comedian who's hosting Saturday Night Live next weekend along with A Tribe Called Quest, might be a Trump sympathizer, if not supporter.

The Observer, owned by Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, reported that during a New York comedy club appearance on Friday, Chappelle said he early-voted for Clinton in Ohio but didn't "feel good" about it, adding that "she's not right, and we all know she's not right." According to The Observer, he also expressed frustration with the media's handling of the leaked Access Hollywood tape story in which Trump boasted of grabbing women "by the pussy."

Meanwhile, the 30 Days, 30 Songs indie rock anti-Trump movement rolls on, now expanded to to include a total of 50 songs scheduled to be up by Tuesday. Philadelphia-connected Wesley Stace and Mirah have been contributors, and a new standout cut is Princeton-grad Anthony D'Amato's "If You're Gonna Build A Wall," a song that will stand on its own when the election is finally over, but which comes with a clever video featuring D'Amato taking a final exam at Trump University.
