The New York Concert on July 8th will be held at Radio City Music Hall. The roster of performers will be announced next week.
"Thanks to the cooperation and can-do spirit of the artists originally scheduled to perform this week, our producers, our technicians and production staff and the teams at Walt Disney Concert Hall and Radio City Music Hall, we are delighted to be able to announce that the Kerry Victory 2004 shows will go on in Los Angeles and New York," said Mary Beth Cahill, Kerry's campaign manager. "So many people came together to make this a success for John Kerry and the Democratic Party and that spirit of teamwork and unity has made it possible to reschedule these two events so quickly."
"Everyone across the country is so excited about John Kerry’s candidacy and his positive vision for the future of our nation," said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. "People are coming together to help him and the Democratic Party win in November in unprecedented ways, working together for our shared goal of a stronger America. That is why it was so easy to make a relatively seamless transition to new dates for our Los Angeles and New York events once we made the decision to reschedule the show."

That does it. I'm burning all my Neil Diamond 8-tracks.
Ping!
I didn't realize that Willie Nelson was such a leftist weenie.
I didn't realize Willie Nelson was still alive.
oh man. I'll never feel the same about Neil Diamond. What an ass, as is anyone associated with the rats.
All that talent, what a waste.
He still owes the IRS money. They are keeping him alive until his back-taxes are paid in full.
Big PR release: He will cancel all events.
Big PR release: He might view the casket in CA.
Big PR release: He will view the casket in CA.
Big PR release: Viewing the casket in CA, with pictures
Big PR release: Viewing the casket in DC.
Big PR release: New dates for rescheduled events.
And President Reagan isn't even buried yet!
LOL! "Everyone across the country" is excited about John Kerry?
Marijuana must be getting awfully potent these days...;)))
Nor did I!!!!
But I bet that he will fry his leftist weenie in the country crowd if he supports JohnF'nKerry.....
In 1974 I shared a bottle of mescal with an old wino who looked like he was on his last binge. I learned the next day it was Willie.
More heartache for poor ol' Clinton-all his groupies shamelessly throwing themselves at another gigolo.
"I didn't realize that Willie Nelson was such a leftist weenie."
Willie did beg that whisky river to take his mind - apparently it did just that.
I'd recommend buying (as I did 10 years ago) the Velvet Gloves and Spit album with underrated Diamond gems like "Twobit Manchild" and "Practically Newborn" (ignore "The Potsmoker's Song" if you want), but not now.
Actually this isn't the first time I've seen Neil branded as a lib by a FReeper. Now I know why.
foreverfree
What a hoot...the dixie chicks not invited..
I will post a new thread for the L.A. FReep on THURSDAY (6/24) - soon. :o)

This is odd. Wille Nelson had to drop out weeks ago due to surgery for carpal tunnel in his wrist. He isn't expected to be able to play anywhere until July yet they still keep promoting him as playing there.
Pinging some Northeast activists!
