Bernie Sanders Rocks David Bowie’s “Starman” After Speech in Iowa

Rob Slater on February 2, 2016


America things happened in Iowa last night, making it the one day every four years that people remember Iowa is still a state in this great nation. If you stayed up until the wee hours to watch the results trickle in, you were probably serenaded by the sounds of David Bowie’s “Starman” following Bernie Sanders’ speech, where the Democratic candidate thanked his supporters after virtually ending in a tie with Hillary Clinton. 

Sanders has reportedly been using the Ziggy Stardust cut throughout his stump speeches on his campaign through Iowa and the rest of the country and has been endorsed by a slew of musicians including Killer Mike, Vampire Weekend, Jeff Tweedy, Dave Matthews and many others. 

If you’re not feeling the Bern, “Starman” kicks in at about the 16:30 mark of Sanders’ speech, which you can watch in full below.
