Some will snide this announcement. But look for an official statement tomrorrow.

Fired Up!

Deadicated Marxist's diary :: ::
That's right. Barack Obama is going to hold a huge rally in San Francisco with the surving members of the Grateful Dead (sans Billy Kreutzmann). It's a get out the vote rally, and it's set to occur Monday night. The tickets will sell-out immediately for sure.

Obama has already played with Macy Gray and Wilco. Now the Grateful Dead. He certainly does have the rock and roll business on his side. Does that mean he's hip?

This is a rather small diary, but I'm so happy to see the candidate I'm supporting doing a gig with the band I loved so much over the years, I can't help it.

Ready To Go!

1. Deadheads for Obama!

That's cool. Don't forget though, Edwards had Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt. I wonder if they'll Gobama now?

[John Q. Citizen]

2. I was wondering the same thing about Bonnie. My bet is they will.

4. Yeah, that was great that Bonnie and Jackson

toured with Edwards. Two of my all time favorites.

3. I want this on a shirt...Steal Your Obama

[MH1]

8. That's a great graphic!

I'm a late-blooming Dead fan myself...that's got to be a great show!

[Alexander]

11. LOL! That's hilarious! I would totally buy that shirt.

Of course, it's easy for me, I like both the Grateful Dead and Obama.

17. Steal Your Election

5. Trouble Ahead oh, Lady in Red!!!

Take my advice you'd be better off dead:

Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

6. Without Garcia, it's not the Greateful Dead. It's just not.

I don't care what they call it. I call it bogus. Hmmmm ... that fits pretty well with the candidate ...

7. So much jealousy, so little time!

:eyes:

[NightWatcher]

9. it was more suiting when they called themselves "the other ones"

as in the summer of 95-97/98

[JackORoses]

12. it's never been the 'Greateful Dead', it's always been the Grateful Dead

I think your feigned outrage is bogus. Hmmmm ... that fits pretty well with the candidate ...

[Bake]

18. That was a typo, obviously.

So quick, which finger was Garcia missing?

[no name no slogan]

10. I have a feeling Arlo won't be there

he's too busy endorsing Ron Paul :puke:

[AlCzervik]

14. omg i know, what in the hell is that about?

[fishwax]

15. hadn't heard that one yet

:puke:

[fishwax]

13. why no Billy Kreutzmann, I wonder

:shrug:

Wish I could see the show, if the rumor is true :)

[JackORoses]

16. He lives in Hawaii. The other ones still live in the Bay Area.
