80's band Human League supports McCain/Palin.
A friend of mine was at the Human League/ABC show at Chastain in Atlanta. She said the Human League used photos of McCain and Sarah Palin as a back drop to their stage show. She said they were getting heartily booed. She left during the middle of the act.

I can only imagine the were trying to be ironic.


Serioulsy.

17. Maybe they're auditioning for an RNC Convention slot...
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 11:30 PM by Blue Belle
I mean, Brooks & Dunn couldn't possibly be there everyday. Besides, with the way this campaign is going, "Don't You Want Me?" is probably the most fitting campaign song that they won't get sued for.
