    • hey y'all. just stopping by to say that i went to the tent state university show and kicked major ass, even though none of the bands played a whole set.
      i've seen ratm and i can die happy, 'nuf said.
      they had a big demonstration planned afterwards and me and my friend didn't feel like walking downtown on a street during 90 degree weather so we just peaced. when we were leaving the coliseum i saw the most police officers i have ever witnessed in one place. it was insane... at least one for every other person who was in attendance of the concert.

      i also want to say how good the flobots were, they're a local band from denver. they hit it big in the past year and all of us on the music scene here in the 303 are real proud of them, and they rocked the house! check em out sometime.

    • Will all of the concerts at DNC be entertaining? Yes, absolutely. But will it influence my political opinion and my vote? Absolutely NOT!!! These people are entertainers and celebrities, not political analysts (I don't listen to them either). I prefer to exercise the freedom to make up my own mind. I truly hope there are others out there that feel the same way.

    • Please call the Commission on Presidential Debates at (202) 872-1020 and politely request that they include Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, in the presidential debates.

      It is very important that you are professional, respectful and courteous when you call. Explain that Congressman Barr is having an impact in the election and that a recent Zogby poll found that 55% of voters want to include him in the debates. Also, express the importance of choice on the ballot and the need to present a view to voters that is different from the status-quo.

    • Obama need a Rock Concert in Germany to give the appearance of Celebrity.
      Obama will be the first Celebrity President, with large monster rallies, simular to Hitlers monster rallies.
      The purpose of creating a Rock Star President is to hide his radical left proposals.
      Enjoy your Rock Star President, because he wants to lower your standard of living.
      Anyway he not going to win. He's sinking in the polls, and will continue to sink.

      You're an ass. Let's vote for a bush wanna be who can keep us in perpetual war and completely run this country into the ground...yeah that's a great idea! Losers oppose Barack for retarded reasons like oh, he's popular and people love him, or he gives brilliant speeches and he has hope or he's black. Fuckin retards, let's all vote for this decrepit rich guy who reads every word that he says in a most uninspiring way and basically represents the same old tired and partisan politics that have this country turned upside-down...yeah isn't that a great idea? Climb back into your hole and quit screwing things up for the People.

    • Talk about targeting the young voter! I wish I was there!

      John Legend is one of my faves. He will be premiering his new song, "If You're Out There," which will be made available on my.barackobama.com/johnlegend following his performance (Or just get it on iTunes now). Watch it live on PBS and CSPAN, or online at DemConvention.com tonight at 7:45 EST. Can't wait!
