Here's why Arizona's song at the DNC roll call made complete sense


PHOENIX — The Democratic National Convention in Chicago showcased a lively roll call on Tuesday, transforming into a vibrant celebration as delegates cast their votes for presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Each state added a musical touch, reflecting their local flavors with distinct song choices.

DJ Cassidy spun tracks that aligned perfectly with the states’ identities. Massachusetts opted for a punk anthem, while Kansas naturally chose a song from their own band.

Some selections surprised the audience. American Samoa’s choice of Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory” stood out among the more predictable picks, and certain delegations indicated they had no influence in their selections.

Arizona’s vote was marked by a tribute to a legendary artist from the state. The delegation selected “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks, a celebrated rocker born in Phoenix.

This choice is particularly meaningful to Nicks. In 2020, she shared a Facebook story detailing how the “white winged dove” lyric from her song was inspired by a trip to Phoenix. During that journey, she encountered a menu that recounted a dove’s song echoing the sounds in her own track.

Nicks reflected on this experience, sharing how a dove recently sang outside her room, making her emotional. She articulated the profound connection she feels to this imagery and her home state.

As the convention continued, other states made notable song picks, each reflecting their senses of identity and history. From classic rock to nostalgic anthems, the roll call served not just as a formality but as a salute to American musical heritage and its connections to the political landscape.

The diverse roster of songs highlighted both local and national significance, demonstrating how music remains intertwined with political events in America.

The celebration of local artists and anthems will resonate with many, ensuring that music remains a pivotal part of political culture, vividly showcasing the spirit of the states involved.
