What, no McCain tag?

dk: From the close-minded gibberish in your comment I'd recommend you for one of your own IQ tests. Proofread much? It is every artist's right to use their public exposure as a platform for causes they feel strongly about, especially weeks before such an important election. For decades, musicians and other artists have been among the most progressive members of our society. It is ridiculous toume that people who attend these shows are uneducated and ignorant voters. Other than commenting negatively about liberal musicians, what have you done to help your candidate's cause?

are you crazy, Omama?
His plan gives a driver's license to any illegal who wants one, plus plan gives illegals social security benefits, who pays for this? you do via higher taxes. Nobama too radical!!!!!!!!!!

"I think ever voter needs to take an IQ test before they can vote. If they have at normal IQ they can vote. i guess that will reduce the voting population to about 20%" - dk This would be a direct violation of The National Voting Rights Act of 1965. Only US Citizens convicted of felonies or treason are ineligible to vote. Radical conservatives under a variety of party labels have historically promoted voter suppression against slaves, women, immigrants, and the mentally deficient. Not only is this Un-American, it is against the law.

"these are the same people getting arrested for drugs, drunk driving and flashing their panties(or lack of)"Can you please provide me with examples of any of these artists caught in such circumstances?

dk: Get used to being a minority. Most of the new voters don't have a clue and they are actually going to have children who will then be the next crop of the uneducated masses. Like I said....get used to it because it is all downhill from here. If you are a Demo.....vote EARLY....vote OFTEN...it's the Democratic way.

isn't it great that so many celebrities and musicians feel the need to tell the mindless american voters who to vote for? these are the same people getting arrested for drugs, drunk driving and flashing their panties(or lack of) who gives them the right to tell the rest of America who to vote for? I think ever voter needs to take an IQ test before they can vote. If they have at normal IQ they can vote. i guess that will reduce the voting population to about 20%

I feel so good about this upcoming election knowing that so many people are going to go out and vote after listening to these artist play. Just what we need more uneducated voters! Awesome :-/

Frank Byrdhaus: Frank, I hate it when people hold back and don't express their true feelings. Please try and make yourself clearer. Remember to whom you are trying to convey your message.

Frank, while you may not like Richmond.com's bias towards one candidate or another, this article is about artists coming to town, and yes, maybe for one particular candidate? What is McCain doing to spark interest in Richmond, BINGO NIGHT?

Seriously, why not just call it subjectivejournalism.richmond.com? Or richmond.obama.com? Or nothingbutobama.richmond.com? Or liberalnewsmedia.richmond.com? Oh yeah...Richmond.com would actually have to be a news organization for that last one to apply. Objectively speaking, you guys stink. No, that's actually not an opinion. It's an unbiased fact.

Santogold is the hidden treasure in this lineup. So happy to see her more than Beastie!

I see you didn't like my comment from earlier making fun of the DMB reference, but glad to see you fixed it.

Santogold rocks! Get out and see them...Beasties too! Go to sleep when Johnson, Jones and Crow play...zzzzzzzzz

Aaron: I couldn't agree with you more. They are what they are. We do have the opportunity to show them what their left wing liberal radical attitudes pushed down peoples throats can do to their pocketbooks. That is my intent for certain. Our only hope that one by one they at some point drift toward the VALUES that made America GREAT.

I love the get out to vote which is really indoctrinating as many as people as they can to only see their point of view is right the right one. I'll never spend money on any of these groups again. I think bands should look at theirselves as businesses and think "how will my big mouth and opinions affect the profitability of my business?" But, they don't because they aren't very bright and that's why they are voting for NOBAMA!

Rock-the-vote type campaigns have always tilted liberal, there's no secret about that. They've just become increasingly more vehement about it.

The get out and vote tour isnt supposed to be just for Obama, even though all those on tour have leaned towards him in the past. And not sure about your DMB reference, pretty sure its the two of them playing, no opener...
