The Dead, Allmans To Rock For Obama

The Dead and the Allman Brothers Band have signed for a Barack Obama fundraising concert, to be held Oct. 13 at Bryce-Jordan Center in State College, Pa. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Sept. 19).

"We're all deeply into this, into Barack Obama and the thought of taking this country back in some shape or form, what's left of it -- it's probably one thing we can all agree on," Dead drummer Mickey Hart told Billboard.com in July. The group reunited in February for a similar Obama fundraiser in San Francisco.

The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change is sponsoring the show and its related voter outreach campaign.

Obama's going to clean up on that all important stoned, aging hippy demographic.

Are you sure? For a moment there I thought it was Duane Allman.

Well, his career, anyway.

Weren't these guys famous in the 60's and 70's? Every time you turn around you find just another example that the deodorant on Obama's "new" wore off about 4 decades ago. I bet my chicken coop smells better the day before I clean it than most of the attendees at the mini Woodstock for the Elderly Unwashed.

I don't understand this. The democrats already had the intravenous drug addict vote tied up.

WTF?   The dead are already voting for Obama, but now they are raising money for him also.   :rotf:

I first read it as, "The Dead Allmans To Rock For Obama".  How important the little comma is in that subject...  "There's Ranger Bob and his dog, Dick!"

Those who see their lives as spoiled and wasted crave equality and fraternity more than they do freedom. If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.
-Eric Hoffer, "The True Believer", 1951
