The Grammy-winning Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour recently announced he’s planning to run for president in his country’s upcoming election.
This, naturally, sent Sarah on a fact-finding mission to hunt down other musicians-turned politicians. She came up with 20 people, including amongst others, Krist Novoselic from Nirvana, Martha Reeves, Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil, 2 Live Crew’s Luther Campbell, Fela Kuti, Sonny Bono, and her personal favourites, the guys from Iceland — Jon Gnarr and Einar Orn — who are part of a political movement called The Best Party.
