musical tribute to the president

Well, not really. I’m thinking more of a concept album/lampoon (how 70s can I get? concept album?) that documents the life of a mediocre son of a political dynasty as he finds himself caught in the headlights of history.

So what comes to mind is something like Randy Newman’s Faust: a collection of strong individual tracks, different styles, all telling part of the story.

Some faux country to describe a WASP pretending he’s a Texan, some thumping disco to relive the cocaine-fueled 70s, a little heavy metal/hard rock to capture the esprit de corps of being a fighter pilot . . . you get the idea. From the headlines I’m seeing, any number of first-rank artists would fit right in.
