Chuck Berry hopes Barack Obama will rock his way to victory in November—even though it's John McCain who used Berry's classic Johnny B. Goode as a theme song in the early days of the campaign. The McCain camp has since switched to Abba's Take a Chance On Me. Berry, whose first new album in 30 years is in the works, says Obama's nomination is a great moment for America.
"America has finally come to this point where you can pick a man of color and that's not a drawback," said the rock legend. "Definitely a proud and successful moment for all the people of this country." (More John McCain stories.)
