The mix includes a wide array of cuts that basically represent the president's entire constituency — yes, even the country fans. And yes, even the REO Speedwagon fans.

Ähnliches widerfährt auch der Künstlerin im von Regisseur Hiro Murai inszenierten Video, das ihr euch an dieser Stelle in voller ...
