What entertainers will perform at Kerry's innauguration party?

[HootieMcBoob]

I think I remember in 1992 for Clinton's party there was Bob Dylan and maybe Fleetwood Mac and Ray Charles maybe Aretha Franklin? I'm not sure -- kinda foggy there.

But think about Kerry! He has tons of musicians working to get out the vote for him. It could be the greatest inaugural concert ever on the Mall in DC!

Just think!

Bruce Springsteen
Willie Nelson
U2
REM
John Mellencamp
The Black Eyed Peas

The list just goes on and on!
Anybody wanta throw some ideas around?

:)

[BeatleBoot]

1. Hootie and the

McBoobsters

Warming up for the BeatleBoot Quintet

:hurts:

[HootieMcBoob]

3. Sounds good!

:toast:

[BeatleBoot]

12. Dude We Would Totally Rock!

:headbang:

L-O-L !!!

[Melodybe]

2. The Dixie Chicks singing Landslide dedicated to Bushco

Cause a landslide will bring them down!

[HootieMcBoob]

5. Hell Yes!

I forgot about the Dixie Chicks! They have to be there. And Linda Rondstadt :)

[cheshire]

4. Queen plays We are the Champions. I know no way.....

Kansas plays Dust in the wind at the consession whine.

[Zomby Woof]

22. Queen are right-wingers

They defied the boycott of Sun City during apartheid, and various members have spewed various apologia for wingnut views over the years, especially when Thatcher was in charge.

Kind of fits their turgid and overbearingly pretentious music.

[mitchum]

23. Thanks, ZW! Queen certainly were Tory prats...

and their fascistic music would have been an appropriate soundtrack for a Third Reich if Ernst Roehm and his buddies/playthings hadn't been murdered

[auntAgonist]

6. Jackson Browne!! Keb Mo!!

I want to be there :)



:party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party:

7. I hope they include an R&B singer too. nt

[HootieMcBoob]

10. Maybe Chuck D can get Public Enemy to do "Fight the Power"!

I know that's not R & B but Chuck usually has a good r&b song to play on fridays on his show and it made me think of him :)

[HootieMcBoob]

8. The Dead?

I hear Bob Weir is up with Kerry.

[CalProf]

17. Yes!

They played at a big fundraiser for him here in Cali, and when he gave his speech he talked about going to the Fillmore to see them when he was stationed on Treasure Island before shipping out to Nam. They are tight.

He also has a poster of them in his Senate office.

9. Linda Ronstadt should be there by special request. n/t

[zulchzulu]

11. More...

Sheryl Crow (doing Change Will Do You Good)
James Brown (maybe)
The Dead or Ratdog
Pete Yorn
Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Neville Brothers
NIN (maybe)

The rest of the World will be celebrating as well!!!!!

[Zen Democrat]

14. how about

wayne newton? i mean, he would have to accept, and he would be all by himself, no other republicans to hide behind. and he can't sing anymore, and...

i know. i'm a sadist. i just wonder what kind of excuse he would come up with.

my for-real suggestion would be bob hope.

[HootieMcBoob]

16. both of those suggestions are sublime

[Carla in Ca]

15. This is it for me...

Luther Vandross singing America The Beautiful.

[Johnny 99]

18. Police reunion!

Dammit!

[JLucas4092]

20. AMEN!!!!!!!

I've only been waiting my entire life for that.

[mitchum]

25. I wouldn't count on Stewart "Son of a CIA spook" Copeland showing up...

but any decent drum machine could handle his cold, soulless, mechanical rhythms

[JLucas4092]

26. BLASPHEMY!

Stewart Copeland can do more with a hi hat than most people can do with an entire set. I've been studying his playing for the last few months.

[Booster]

19. Don't forget Carol King - she certainly deserves a spot

on that stage with Kerry, but, for me, The Chicks absofuckinglutely.

[mahina]

21. Sweet Honey in the Rock and Stevie Wonder

*******LOVE******* :)
I feel it.

[jbm]

24. Barbra Streisand...

She's been very supportive of Kerry and dems in general.
