Songs By Artists With Presidential Names, Vol. 1

I get a lot of dumb ideas, and sometimes I blog about them. The other day, I wondered if I could find a singer or band whose name included the surname of each of our 44 Presidents. And, as it turns out, I could! Here's the first 22 of them. If enough people are interested to view this post, I'll post the other half this afternoon. If not, I'll post it tomorrow. (You see, you can't really escape it.) Enjoy!  ~  JH
