Bill Clinton Joins Twitter, For Real

I discovered the Civil Wars from a video posted on then-Twitter over a decade ago. Their harmonies and unmistakeable chemistry just ooze through their music. Sadly, the duo split in a fiery wall of flames -- or maybe a cold, icy wall -- back in 2013 after they canceled their 2012 European tour.
