MUSIC: Alaskan band rips Sarah Palin
Popular in the indie and emo circles, Portugal. The Man (playing NYC on Halloween) have something more to hang their hats on than just being critically acclaimed art rockers. Two of the band's members, John Baldwin Gourley and Zachary Scott Carothers, hail from Wasilla, Alaska, the hometown of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
In their recent blog posting, the duo rip the Republican Governor and discuss what being a "real Alaskan" is all about. BTW, yes, we're posting this also to have an excuse to show this (now dismissed as a Photoshop creation) photo once again.
