Bon Jovi with Springsteen to oppose GOP nomination

Here's a link to the article:

Apparently, the guy wants Bruce, but Bon Jovi and REM said they'd be in as well.

Rockers and politics.....whatever.

At least it's entertaining.

well I can understad Bruces inclination to identify (or work against)with either politcal patry

"I've spoken to the manager of REM, to Bon Jovi's people and the rest of the names I've mentioned and they all said, 'if you build it, we will be there."

Republicans and Democrats both asked to use Springsteen's 1984 hit "Born in the U.S.A." -- a song about how unwelcoming America was to returning Vietnam veterans but often mistaken for a patriotic anthem -- for use in political campaigns. Springsteen declined the requests.

All politics aside, with all the names mentioned it sounds as if it could be a great concert.
If they can get it together.

From BJHQ OOmpas Question:

Hi sweeties ) Bon Jovi is announced for the "Concert For A Change" on september the 1st. If it's true and actually happens, will it be Bon Jovi the band or just Jon Bon Jovi? And if it's just a false rumour, I'm sorry - I'm not trying to start anything here ;o) I just read it on the MSNBC website. Thanks

Answer:
This is nothing Jon nor the band nor their management nor their label have had anything to do with. Don't mark your calendars. This was a wire story yesterday that had no merit and now news outlets are picking it up, reprinting, repeating it and propulgating misinformation.

DMB to Play Kerry Benefit
Jun.22.2004
Dave Matthews Band will be performing at a benefit for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, according to an announcement on the band's website. The July 8th event, which fits nicely into the band's schedule, will be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, and will also feature Mary J. Blige, John Mellencamp, Jon Bon Jovi and Wyclef Jean. Dave Matthews has endorsed John Kerry for the presidency.


is this the same thing?- source www.nancies.org

No, the one they are talking about in this thread is for Sept. 1.

oh thx

No problem. It is easy to get confused with all of these fundraisers and stuff lately.

Yeah - even when you have tickets. It would be nice if the dates stayed the same I'll be happy to see Dave Matthews twice though.
