I liked it so much that when the CD came out, I snapped it up. It also has the song "Democracy" -- which Don Henley covered when Clinton was elected in '92. <br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWka3rZE3zI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWka3rZE3zI</a> This song was my favorite part of the film, too.
