Since Bernie Sanders announced his run for President of the United States of America, his lack of polish has been far more endearing to the public than his detractors ever imagined. Hes not a slick baby-kisser; the man talks serious social democratic policy and stays on message with a self-possessed intensity.
However, if Bernies impersonal style has given the impression hes completely devoid of sentimentality, Brothers and Sisters, let me assure you otherwise! In 1987, Bernie Sanders released a spoken word album of lefty folk standards, and it is badpositively Shatneresque, if you will.
