Thank you everyone. No need for any more replies.
One more reply.
Oh, this is priceless.
Apparently, the band, the Decemberists, open every show with the Soviet Union national anthem.
That was mentioned on the other thread, but it’s buried, so many people might miss it.
Here they are opening an act with the Soviet Union national anthem:

Here are videos of them playing at the Portland rally for Obama and supporting Obama:

I have no trouble believing mostly all of those people were Obama supporters, if they like this band.
I’ve been trying since Monday to find the play list for the concert. Their songs include anti-war, anti-military themes and the Wikipedia listing (since modified) read:
“Named both in reference to the Russian Decembrist Revolt (which may explain its use of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union as an introduction at many concerts)...”
I’ve emailed Victoria Taft (conservative KPAM evening talk radio host) in Portland to see what their concert play list was and if it included the Soviet National Anthem. She asked her audience to call in, but no one did (don’t think her listeners attended the concert/rally!). In any event, if I have any additional information, I’ll post it.
