Musicians 'endorsing' politicians (or is it the other way roun

[A Lark Ascending]

Watching a doc the other night about Southern Rock and having recently read a book on music and politics in the 60s/70s I thought this might be an interesting idea for a thread:

Jimmy Carter meets the Allman Brothers

James Brown and Nixon

Two guitarists having a chuckle over a particularly difficult chord sequence.

Not shown with the Lord's anointed but just afterwards. Where's the beret?

Josh White and FDR (though I think this is the wrong Roosevelt, and that might not be Josh White either):

Probably lots of examples with Paul Robeson. I tried to find one of him with Stalin, but I haven't. It seems likely Stalin was quite careful who he was photographed with. That's only waht I could (not) find on google.

I was surprised there was nothing on Google of Stalin with Shostakovich or Prokofiev (during the times when they were in).
