rock the vote concerts

Okay, so you don't want to hear it from entertainers.

Don't fucking listen and quitcherbitchin'.

Last time I checked, the Boss, the Chicks, et al. were still Americans. They have the right to speak out just like anybody else.

Quiter frankly, I'm not particularly interested in the political opinions of most celebs either. Doesn't mean I bitch about the fact that they express themselves. Most people, IMHO, who DO bitch about it only do so when a celeb happens to be taking a position opposite the one they hold.

Besides ... take the TOTAL number of people who will see all of the entertainers who are pro-Kerry between now and the election. Compare that to the number of people who will tune in to the 700 Club - which is a virtual RNC infomercial - and the thousands of radio "preachers" throughout the country telling folks that gawdamitey hizownself has annointed GWB to save the country from the homa-sexuals and secular humanists and baby killers and radical feminists and sodomites and pornographers and ...

And while we're at it ... since a lot of the same people who might be swayed by rock stars might also be swayed by the "no difference between Bush and Kerry" arguement put forth by Nader, and since it seems that Nader happens to be getting quite a nice chunk of Republican campaign donations - why the fuck shouldn't they speak out?

And while I'm at it ... I'll make a stab here at actually answering Dan's question.

Will it make a difference? Maybe. This appears to be one close S.O.B. If it motivates some young people (who vote in very small numbers) to vote, and pushes them to Kerry instead of Nader, it could have an impact.
