Can't WAIT for tonite! Dennis! Mellencamp! Edwards! The Black Eyed Peas!!

[VolcanoJen]

And... WYCLEF JEAN!!!

Not to mention Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Governor Granholm... it's going to be a night to remember!

Anyone else out there as jazzed as I am?

I'm very excited to learn that Wyclef kicks everything off at seven o'clock, and The Black Eyed Peas will hit the stage just after Edwards' speech... I admire BOTH of these acts so much for standing loud and proud for Kerry/Edwards! And, if you've never seen Black Eyed Peas live, I promise it's going to be a get-pumped-UP fantastic closer!!

LET'S GET IT STARTED! LET'S GET IT STARTED IN HERE! LET'S GET IT STARTED!

ETA: Oh my God... I didn't realize this, but BRIAN MCKNIGHT is singing the National Anthem!!!! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better! So much talent on one stage tonight... I'm feeling FANTASTIC!!

Sorry, it's just that this political convention stuff is like crack to me... ;-)

1. awesome

I could do without melloncamp, but the rest are awesome

[HuckleB]

11. He's done more for those in need than almost any entertainer around.

What the heck is wrong with Mellencamp?

[maxpower]

13. Thank you

Mellencamp is one of the good guys. His music is good to.

[Chovexani]

15. He's a great guy.

I saw him on Real Time with Bill Maher once a while back and he was speaking very passionately about farm issues and talking about agribusiness. He's a really good guy. I just don't care for his music. I'm glad he's here though. We need all the help we can get.

[progressivebydesign]

17. I like Mellencamp..

.. he's rootsy, and real. I like entertainers that actually WRITE their own stuff. He's cool.

[Nightjock]

2. jazzed, pumped, palpitating...

You bet!

[DenverDem]

3. Thank God for CSPAN

so we can actually see it.

I am totally with you, this convention is very exciting, even the mundane stuff.

[Shallah Kali]

35. CSPAN Rocks! No talking heads just speeches

No talking heads telling me how to think just the speakers having their say so I can decide for myself :)

[cheezus]

4. argghh. I wish there were somewhat set times

I just KNOW I'm gonna end up missing the Kooch.


Maybe I should just set TiVo to record c-span constantly

[proud patriot]

5. I didn't know the blacked eyed peas were playing ?

YEAH !

[VolcanoJen]

19. Hey, Mama!

La la la la LA!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

They are such a high-energy, political, positive band, and I like them even more now that I know they're standing up for Kerry/Edwards tonight by pumping up the crowd and getting us ready for the battle ahead.

La la la la LA!!!

[proud patriot]

25. LOL That's one of my favorite songs

except my husband took the CD to his truck
and I haven't seen it since .. I may have to get
another copy .. We are a black eyed peas family ,
my son loves the music too .

[medeak]

28. I like that short little skirt!

[Kukesa]

36. Never mind; I thought you were addressing me. n/t

[wildeyed]

6. Edwards and the Black Eyed Peas?

:bounce:

[desi]

7. WHAT ??????

No Fugees..???x( :cry:

[VolcanoJen]

8. Naw. Lauren wouldn't enjoy being upstaged by Edwards.

}(

Wyclef, Brian McKnight, Black Eyed Peas... and even a little Mellancamp. It works for me!!

[desi]

10. Ha !!!!

"Killin' me softly" eh...fellow Buckeye..??? Gonna be Awesome..

[Chovexani]

16. Meow

Saucer of milk at table 5...

That was a good one though. So true. :evilgrin:

[VolcanoJen]

34. "Where the Fugees At?"

Even Wyclef asked that question... that was a good song. :D

[MrSlayer]

9. Figures I've never heard of any of these music acts.

Except for MenstrualCramp. The music at this convention has been lamer than Christopher Reeve.

Good night for speeches though.

[VolcanoJen]

12. Hopefully Wyclef will do his version of "Redemption Song."

The music lined up for tonight appeals to young and old alike... high energy, high relevance, high political content, high talent quotient!

It's a shame you haven't heard Wyclef or Black Eyed Peas before... maybe they'll turn you around tonight. :D

[realisticphish]

23. i love wyclef

especially "if i were president", but the redemption song is just not the same without marley singing it...:(


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

14. Growing up in Cleveland

I've got to see a lot of Kucinich in my life. I was just a kid when he was Mayor, but I remember him well. I always enjoy listening to what he has to say and I am looking forward for tonight.
It's a good line up tonight all around.

[tridim]

18. Don't forget Cate Edwards

Rowrrrr. :P

[AlFrankenFan]

20. I started jumping up and down when you said "Mellencamp"

Can't wait! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

Edit: By my avatar, I think you could tell why :P

[VolcanoJen]

21. Yay!! He's scheduled for the 7-9 hour...

... but I know you'll be watching all night. :D

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Black Eyed Peas!

"Where is the love?".......LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that song! Gonna be another terrific night! :bounce:

[Lex]

24. "People acting like they ain't got no mamas . . . "

.
My favorite line.

[VolcanoJen]

29. Something tells me they'll sing that one tonight.

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria

[Lex]

31. "We got terrorists living here in the USA--the big CIA and the KKK."

Great song.

[lalajohns]

26. Surprised to hear that Brain McKnight will sing tonite

Please correct me if I am wrong!

I think that Brian McKnight sang at Bush's convention four years ago.

[VolcanoJen]

32. Oh, wow... that's right!

Didn't he do something with Chaka Khan at the 2000 Republican Convention?

As far as I know, he's not performing his own set, but he's singing the National Anthem tonight.

Hey, it's quite possible Brian McKnight's come around on his choice of candidates. :D

[AnnInLa]

27. Getting Schizo

I just wish the World Poker Tour didn't come on tonight...damn, will have AAR going full blast in one room, C-Span TV in the living room, and Poker on Travel Channel in the bedroom.

Had same thing going on the other day...my son walked in the door to visit, listened for 10 seconds, shook his head, and walked out.

[Chovexani]

30. Wyclef on now!

:loveya:

[VolcanoJen]

33. He IS singing "If I Was President"

Oh, wow!!!!!!

[VolcanoJen]

37. Doesn't tonight kick ASS?

Just had to say that my great expectations have been fulfilled... and the Edwards haven't even hit the stage yet.
