MSNBC - Musicians use their talent to further the cause

"Springsteen will be joined by such heavy hitters as the Dave Matthews Band, R.E.M., John Fogerty, the Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Pearl Jam, John Mellencamp, Babyface and Death Cab for Cutie."

Ah, the bastions of political sanity in the USA - musicians. I can't fathom why anyone would give one good rip what John Goober Mellenhead has to say about our foreign policy, can you? So why would anyone listen to him when he endorses one political candidate over another?

I'm all for anyone encouraging our youth to vote. But celebrity doesn't equal wisdom. Play the music, and if it's good, I'll steal it off the Internet. Otherwise, get bent.
