Springsteen urges fans to vote for Kerry during concert

[leftchick]

<snip>
After firing up the audience with his all-time hit "Born in the USA," Springsteen switched to a more serious subject by shouting into the crowd: "Raise your voice for change!"


He then proceeded to sing "Because the Night" together with Michael Stipe, the lead singer of REM, and "Are You Ready" with the Dixie Chicks, a leading country trio.


"We are here tonight on a mission," declared Springsteen, widely referred to as the Boss. "We've got some work to do between now and Election Day. I want to say to the swing voters, what the hell are you waiting for? Halliburton?"

"America is not always right, but America is always true," continued the Boss who was clad in his trademark black T-shirt and jeans. "Civil rights, protection of the environment, low wages forcing so many people to work two jobs. I believe Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards understand these are important issues."

2. The Boss is the Best

I wish he'd make a campaign commercial for K/E to run in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. He's a hero in those state.

On another note, I heard something that broke my heart today. My all-time favorite rock band ever was (I stress was) Aerosmith. I cut my teeth as a guitarist playing "Dream On," "Train Kept a Rollin'" (okay, originally the Rock and Roll Trio) and "Sweet Emotion" in garage bands. This morning I caught, I think on Headline News, that Steven Tyler is supporting Bush. Words cannot express my pain.

MY EMAIL TO HN:

This morning on Headline News I heard a story on the ACT concert tour for Kerry and Edwards, which your anchor then tried to "balance" by reporting on celebrities who support Bush/Cheney.

In that segment, she listed Steven Tyler, the lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith.

Tyler has announced his support for JOHN KERRY publicly, in a Boston Herald interview in June. THe interview can be found at:

I demand that you correct this error. It shows a clear bias in favor of the Bush campaign.

Sincerely

5. Supports Kerry and the Red Sox. Can't be all bad.
