No, today's song does not come from Barack Obama's vaunted/rumpled political adviser. This Axelrod has had a pretty interesting career as a composer and producer who made some fine music while managing to avoid the spotlight. This tune comes from his Earth Rot album, which has aged a bit...weirdly. I suppose an album of in-your-face, choral warnings of environmental ruin set to groovy, jazzy backing music may have made sense in 1970. Or maybe it didn't. Really, there's not much more clarity on that question 40 years later.
