"...Springsteen shows still have tickets available. A bad sign for the left?"

Gotta be a bad sign when the boss doesn't draw.

I was never that hot on Springsteen, and don't even know or like the others, but am very sad to see that Sweet Baby James and John Fogerty are with the enemy.

I hope that the fans who do attend can hear the crickets chirping over the singing at these concerts! (I know that's impossible, but I'd like to see it happen!)

Even a lot of people who agree with them on issues are going to be yelling, "shut up and play some music!"

I saw ads on WCSX(classic Rock) for Bruce and REM at Cobo in Detroit.

Not sure if it's sold out or not.

Maybe they should call it "Vote For Spare Change".

My local radio station was giving away tickets this morning. The disk jockeys commented that the rockers were going to try to change your vote. However, the disk jockeys refused to name the suggested candidate! :)

I clicked on the Philly link and either those are sold out or haven't been put on sale yet. The site didn't specify.

But with Springsteen and REM doing that show, I can't imagine it not selling out.

I would think that some of the shows that don't get those big names may not sell out right away if at all.

But Springsteen will sell out.

He just won't get any of my money.

Somehow, their "call for change" hasn't changed much since the collectivists of Europe starting bellowing it in the 1830's and 1840's. It't betrays such a depth of ignorance. Hey, dudes, it hasn't worked, it's only created death and misery. Get a clue!

Good post. I checked all the shows, the same as you did, the other day. The only one that was definitely sold out was the Springsteen show in Philly.

Don't forget to add Linda Ronstadt to the list.

Hopefully she headed for Nogales and keeps going south.

One of my good liberal friends is going on Oct 1 to the concert in PA and I asked for full report from him. I hope PA is no longer a swing by that date : )
