Big Head Todd jumps on Clinton's bandwagon

Never known as a political rock band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters have jumped on the Hillary Clinton bandwagon, hoping that their song, "Blue Sky" becomes an anthem for her presidential campaign.

The group tries to keep political issues out of its music because, as guitarist and vocalist Todd Park Mohr tells it, "politics is very polarizing."

But because band members "are all Democratic folks leaning left of the dial" who are "excited about the prospect of Hillary being president," they agreed when Clinton's campaign asked them to perform at her whistle stop on Denver's Auraria campus.

As Mohr tells it, Tuesday’s rally marked the first big political gig for the Colorado-based group. He said he hopes for a "longer relationship" with the U.S. Senator from New York, envisioning the group’s song "Blue Sky" as a possible campaign theme.

"It's a very optimistic song about how you can change the world. We think it would work for her," he said.
Mohr, 42, told The Post that he long has followed politics and actively votes near his home in Steamboat Springs.

Routt County’s recording supervisor Tina Fry said Tuesday that her records show "we don't have him as an active registered voter." Mohr later told The Post, “Actually, I haven’t voted in a while there. But I’m gonna change that now.”
