Anyone walking by New York City’s Washington Square Park Monday night were lucky to catch Hillary Clinton supporter Madonna playing an impromptu acoustic guitar concert in the middle of the historic park.
Madonna had called out to fans on her Instagram and Twitter accounts, who show up in the hundreds as she played John Lennon’s “Imagine” accompanied by two other acoustic guitar players.

Dressed in rippled black leggings and a red-white-and-blue knit hat, the New Yorker calls out to the crowd: “Do you believe in the power of unity, do you believe in the power of prayer, do you believe in the power of love? Amen.”
Surrounded by fans waving colored streamers and a clutch of Hillary supporters wearing copycat red pants suits, the circles of people are thick around the performer, who shows up at 7:30 p.m. and is gone just half an hour later.
