Mr. Kinsley Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Solace, are you doing any volunteer work for the campaign? If anyone's interested, since there seems to be plenty of support around here, just go here on his website and sign up. There's plenty of opportunities to help out that require little effort on your part. Making phone calls can be done from home and it's super easy. I went to a phone bank the other day and it was rather fun actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 so... last week i'd heard rumblings that they were trying to get Wilco to play this... apparently it didn't work out with the full band's schedule but Golden Smog (WITH Tweedy) are now playing a 45 minute set before Barack goes on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H.Stone Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 but Golden Smog (WITH Tweedy) are now playing a 45 minute set before Barack goes on SHUT UP!! Damn. Last time I saw Tweedy with GS was across the street. Wow. I hope someone tapes that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Maybe someone around here who can pull a few strings could convince Jeff to put it up on the Wilco site, along with an endoresment/plea to get out and vote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serak_the_Preparer Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Golden Smog's set list:1: Looking Forward to Seeing You2: Glad & Sorry3. To Call My Own4. Love and Mercy (Brian Wilson cover)5. Beautiful Mind6. Until You Came Along Short, but sweet. At one time the crowd started the wave and Gary said "Well there is a first!" When Obama came out he thanked "The Golden Smog" and his friend Jeff Tweedy. Barack is a very inspirational speaker. I highly suggest seeing him live if you get the chance. His speaches are great on TV and radio, but it doesn't compare to watching it live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
