Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Paul O’Neill: “It was a late night in the studio ’cause everybody was watching the debate. I have to say this has been the most interesting election I have ever seen, period. I’m not going to make a call on this one til the last [debate] is done.”
Lila Downs: “I was pleased to see Hillary speak about Trump’s blatant racism and she showed her expertise for international relations. My hope is that everybody get out there and vote.”
