Last night, Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, introduced indie rocker Neko Case (a member of the New Pornorgraphers, as well as solo act) at a DC Club. It has not been widely reported that the USDOE recently hired Tim Tuten, co-owner of The Hideout, a Chicago club, as assistant secretary of communications and outreach. Tuten has booked Case at The Hideout, and put Duncan and Case together.
“We have to do more with the arts…we have to do more with music…” It’s for the record, click on the video below to hear Duncan say it.
Oh, did I mention I like Neko Case. She’s good…
