What band(s) would you like to see play at the DNC?

[Killarney]

I'd love to see U2 perform Beautiful Day (Kerry's campaign song). But you know the rethugs would scream about how they're not American (like they did at the '02 Superbowl). :eyes: But I think they would be fantastic.

[chimpymustgo]

1. Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Outkast, Carlos Santana, Aretha, Sting

I'll think of more...

[arcos]

2. Melissa Etheridge, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Bruce Springsteen n/t

[Dinger]

3. Here's My List:

(Not necessarily in order of preference):

-Dixie Chicks
-Willie Nelson
-U2
-Merle Haggard
*Posthumously, Johnny Cash (Man In Black - song) I know this is fantasy, but oh well
-Bette Midler
-Kid Rock
-Bruce Springsteen
-etc. etc

[DaveSZ]

4. Willie Nelson

What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth

There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna' kill us
So we gotta' kill them first
But I remember a commandment
Thou shall not kill
How much is that soldier's life worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do

(Repeat Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

[fujiyama]

22. Kid Rock

is a right winger.

[Dinger]

25. No $h"t?

Sorry. In case I can't remove him from my list, please consider him off.

[kcwayne]

5. The Doobie Brothers, of course

followed up by the Sex Pistols. That ought to make Fox News spin so hard they will run out of electricity.

[no name no slogan]

16. Ex-Doobie Skunk Baxter is a Repub Congressman from CA

...so it's doubtfull you'd see him appearing there. However, M McDonald did play a couple of Kucinich benefits this year, IIRC.

[kcwayne]

26. Bummer

Hard to believe that an ex stoner is a Repuke. See what happens when you get alot of money stuffed in your pocket. Your penis, mind, and heart get smaller.

[ACK]

6. NOFX and the Dead Kennedys followed by Bad Religion

http://punkvoter.com/home/home.php

That would fuck some minds up quick baby.

_

[melv]

7. The Beastie Boys

gotta love em'

[ACK]

9. Good call -- In a World Gone Mad

Got to hear that song.

[AntiCoup2K4]

12. Oh Hell yeah!

Except it would have to be the REAL DK's. Not this courtship of Eddie's Father tribute band crap.

[spooky3]

8. REM

[zulchzulu]

10. Project Object!

The best Zappa cover band could do a few tunes like "When the Lie's So Big" and other favorites. Maybe "Idiot Bastard Son"...

The lyrics for "When the Lie's So Big" are:

(Pinch it good!
You know, that confinement loaf is real good stuff
Hey, you oughta try some!)

They got lies so big
They don't make a noise
They tell 'em so well
Like a secret disease
That makes you go numb

With a big ol' lie
And a flag and a pie
And a mom and a bible
Most folks are just liable
To buy any line
Any place, any time

When the lie's so big
As in Robertson's case,
(That sinister face
Behind all the Jesus hurrah)

Could result in the end
To a worrisome trend
In which every American
Not "born again"
Could be punished in cruel and unusual ways
By this treacherous cretin
Who tells everyone
That he's Jesus' best friend

When the lies get so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!

Just who do they really
Suppose that they are?
And how do they manage to travel as far
As they seem to have come?
Were we really that dumb?

People, wake up
Figure it out
Religious fanatics
Around and about
The Court House, The State House,
The Congress, The White House

Criminal saints
With a "Heavenly Mission" -
A nation enraptured
By pure superstition

Do you believe in the Invisible Army?
(Yes, indeed!)

When the lie's so big
And the fog so thick
And the facts kept forgotten
Then the Republican Trick
(Ketchup is a vegetable!)
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!

[DinahMoeHum]

11. Get the Dixie Chicks to sing the National Anthem !!

Others:
Bruce Springsteen
Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard


:kick:

[cosmokramer]

14. Hell yes on the Dixie Chick National Anthem! Can Michael Moore....

...hold the flag????


PLEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!

:TOAST:

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. YES! YES! YES!

Oh man, What a great idea!!! So apropos! The Dixie Chicks singing the National Anthem...you are BRILLIANT! :loveya: You should send that idea to the Kerry campaign! :bounce:

[cosmokramer]

13. Dave Matthews, Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Moe, Tracy Chapman

[TexasSissy]

15. Tom Petty. That's even Kerry's campaign song, which is terrific.

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

[DrFunkenstein]

23. I Thought "No Surrender" Was The Campaign Song

Did it change along the way?

[TexasSissy]

37. The one I heard during candidate campaign was

Won't Back Down. Any Tom Petty song is great, but that one was particularly appropriate, I thought.

[AP]

17. the strokes. Are they dems?

[CalebHayes]

42. Don't know but they sure do make awesome music.

[Bombtrack]

18. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

They are liberals, at least Dickie, and have been on hiatus, so it would be a reunion of sorts.

[MontecitoDem]

19. Spearhead!

their latest "everyone deserves music" is all about peace, iraq, and it is uplifting and danceable.

[cmf]

28. I love that CD

You can sing and dance along to it. So uplifting!

[MontecitoDem]

29. Yeah!

Power to the People!

A few months ago I read that Michael Franti was planning a trip to Iraq - I don't know id he's canceled it in light of the danger these days or not.

They definitely have a great message and groove.

Do you have "Home" also? It's another one I like, but not quite as much.

[cmf]

32. Nope

This is my first CD of theirs - I actually got it as a thank you gift for donating to a public radio station. It was a really pleasant surprise.

[union_maid]

20. Diversity in music

I'd like to see rock, hip hop and latin music at the very least. For us old white folk, it has to be Bruce first of all. John Mellencamp and Tom Petty would also be great.

[kodi]

21. dylan, springsteen,

.

[JerseygirlCT]

27. Bruce, of course. And I'd love to see Jackson Browne doing

"Lives in the Balance"... that song still hits as hard now as it did during the 80s.

[I Lean Left]

30. Janet Jackson, if she brings her breast

Can't help it, I'm a big fan. Especially of the right one! :evilgrin:

[Scoopie]

31. I think The Who should play

so that Pete Townshend could get back at Bush for inappropriately playing "Won't Get Fooled Again" at his campaign party.

I will almost certainly not benefit financially from the campaign use, but it sells cars, soap and old fucks like me and Roger, so why shouldn't it be used to sell the most powerful man in the world?

If I did have the vote I would have looked at the issues. (Here in the UK I support Labour). What would be good would be to see health care made cheaper or even free for the poor in the USA, as it is here in the UK and in so many other civilised countries. This is one anomaly that makes the USA seem to me like a much more brutal country than it really is.

Regards

Pete

[absolutezero]

33. Incubus

the dixie chicks, willie nelson, bad religion, NOFX, U2, and rage against the machine

[CalebHayes]

41. rage would never do that in a million years

not until DK is the nominee

[Hippo_Tron]

34. I think Bruce Springsteen should come and say...

Here's a song I wrote after the President of the United States allowed two commercial aircraft to slam into the world trade center killing thousands of innocent Americans, then start playing "Empty Sky".

[Zorra]

35. John Fogerty, Neil Young, Lenny Kravitz, Santana, Bruce, Willie,

Indigenous, and The Dixie Chicks.

[TLDHOME99]

36. The Eagles!

[liberalitch]

38. white stripes, dixie chicks, some pro-kerry hip hop...

[West Coast Democrat]

39. Some good Boston bands

[CalebHayes]

40. Outkast, NOFX, Santana, Blink 182, black eyed peas, Springsten...

Dixie chicks, Usher etc. We need all genes.

[wyldwolf]

43. Should be a combination of classic rock/pop bands and contemporary...

...youth driven acts.

[David Zephyr]

44. The E Street Band With The Boss, Of Course.

n/t

[JayS]

45. Ween :)

[Forkboy]

46. Pig Destroyer,Khanate,Agorophobic Nosebleed and Fantomas

:evilgrin:

[Dob Bole]

47. Massachusetts "Shot Heard Round the World" - School House Rock

Oh yeah, I went there.

"And the shot heard round the world...
was the start of the revolution..."
