Would a Free Sheryl Crow Album Make You Register to Vote?
I ain't knocking the effort here — I think it's fantastic that so many celebrities use their fame to try and get people to care about things like presidential elections.

Looking like the quintessential California girl, Sheryl Crow knows she has plenty to smile about. After all, her sixth album, Detours, has been nominated for a Grammy. Whether she wins or not, I think she deserves a gold star for looking simultaneously elegant and carefree.
