FOGHAT IS NOT BACKING BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"'I have no idea where they got that,' Foghat drummer Roger Earl tells PAGE SIX. 'Foghat are not supporters of George Bush, and we're certainly not going on the road with him.' In fact, Earl seemed downright smitten with the John Kerry-favoring Springsteen tour. 'I'd like to see Bruce Springsteen and Bonnie Raitt for president. We'd go on tour with them in a minute!' The Long Island resident also offered up Foghat's services to entertain the troops overseas. "We support the troops 110 percent," he said. 'We'd love to go over there and play for them, but no one has asked us yet.'..."

This was in the NY Post....

8. Lonesome Dave passed away a few years ago
If I remember correctly, he had throat cancer :(

As for the remaining band members, just because they're "Fools for the City" doesn't mean they have to actually be FOOLS and vote for Bush :evilgrin:

6. Maybe it was a typo at RNC HQ
The typed Foghat and they meant Hog Fat - a likely name for a Country Western Band.
