solace Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 my fellow americans, we are going to do a few shows in hopes that we can remind people to vote. this election is too important, too much is at stake to stay at home. we hope that you can come out, have a nice night, dance, sing, get your freak on, and then wake up the next morning and get everyone that you possibly can to get out and vote. if they have early voting in your state then ask people to vote early, lets get everyone we can out there on election day. we are very excited about obama. hope you all feel the same. see you shortly, adam, mike and adam BEASTIE BOYS & FRIENDS ANNOUNCE SWING STATE VOTER AWARENESS TOUR Selected Dates in Battleground States Beastie Boys have confirmed selected dates through the crucial swing states of the upcoming election.

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 That's an odd array of artists. Regardless, I think it's a great idea, and I'm glad to see the Beastie Boys organized it. I wish I could've made it down to Penn State for the Dead's reunion show for Obama. Tickets were gone by the time I tried to get one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm glad I don't live close enough to any of these states, as the option of going would incite a fierce debate in my soul: go because it's the Beasties, or let my hatred of Sheryl Crow win out and stay home.
