#8  KISS certainly wouldn't be up there. While Gene Simmons isn't necessarily an ardent Republican, he is /very/ pro Israel.

#7  Give these old (really old in Bruce's case) washed up, has been, musicians a break. Their work this election may delay their having to start playing the ole Casino circuit for couple more years.

But ya know... damnit, you won't see KISS up on that stage of shame, hah. ;)

#6  There was no immediate word on prices for tickets, which were going on sale for all shows Aug. 21.

hehehe. How much do you think these socially-conscious comrades will charge? $90? $150? I'm starting to think that what these guys have against large corporations is professional jealousy.

#5  The fact that Springsteen and Vedder are idiots is nothing new. But what is it about becoming a famous & wealthy celebrity that turns you into an asshat 90% of the time?

#4  Springsteen said he didn't fear any backlash over going public with his personal politics.

Yeah, I'm pretty much washed up anyways, so it shouldn't make much of a difference.

#2  The shows will be presented by MoveOn Pac, the electoral arm of the liberal interest group MoveOn.org, with an official announcement expected Wednesday.

Surprise, surprise...

"At some point, you can't sit still," said Vedder, a harsh critic of the Iraq war. "You can't spend your life, when people are getting killed, without asking serious questions about why."

Because Islam means Submission. It's pretty simple once the subject changes from 'which groupie do I want a blowjob from tonight?'

#1  Maybe now people will believe me when I tell them Bruce Springsteen is a communist.
