Spokaoke is a karaoke bar unlike any other: Instead of Top 40, Annie Dorsen has curated a Top 100. Take the mike for one of 100 political speeches from Jesus’s “Sermon on the Mount” to Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman” to George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” to Cher Horowitz’s “Should All Oppressed People be Allowed Refuge in America” from Clueless. Here’s your chance to play with power: Who needs ABBA when you’ve got Sarah Palin?
“If you think there’s pressure to do justice to Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer,” try walking in Mahatma Gandhi’s sandals.” Chicago Magazine feature on Spokaoke.
