Tillis vs. Hagan – You Decide!


What, you expected this post to have anything whatsoever to do with politics? Not likely! What it is, instead, is a brief collection of songs by artists named Tillis and Hagan. I'll leave it to you to decide which songs/singers are best – the Tillis ones or the Hagan ones. It's basically your civic duty, so go ahead and cast your votes already!  ~  JH
