Wow, I remember this but hadn't thought about it in years. Getting "Willie Horton-ed" predated "Swift Boating," but it's the same idea. Reagan, Bush, Atwater, all those bastards. . . but I digress.
Kudos to Koko Taylor and Willie Dixon for taking the high road. It's interesting how much things have changed over the years - in the current climate I just can't imagine something like this happening. Partisan politicians have their partisan pop culture figures and artists, and ne'er the twain shall meet.
