The former Skokie resident also sang his "Ballad of the Tea Party," which he debuted at the 2010 edition of the rally--when he was the Republican nominee for Congress in Illinois' 9th district--where I live.
There was a brutal wind yesterday--which challenged Pollak's strumming dexterity as you will learn at the end of this clip. But he accepted his challenge in a good-natured fashion.
But that didn't stop someone from shouting, "Joel for president!"

ReplyDeleteJoel Pollak is inspiring, and his singing/guitar playing ain't too bad, either.
