Democrats Reschedule Kerry 2004 Victory Concerts

Barbra Streisand, Billy Crystal, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson To Perform In Honor of Kerry at Walt Disney Concert Hall on Thursday June 24

June 09, 2004

For Immediate Release Washington, D.C.

NY Concert rescheduled for July 8 at Radio City Music Hall. Performers to be announced next week.

The Kerry campaign and the Democratic National Committee announced today that the Los Angeles concert originally scheduled for Monday June 7th to benefit the “Kerry Victory Committee 2004" has been rescheduled for Thursday June 24, 2004 at 8:00 PM and the New York concert originally scheduled for Thursday June 10th has been rescheduled for Thursday July 8th. The Los Angeles concert, now scheduled for June 24th, will feature Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, and Billy Crystal with an all star cast of celebrity presenters and performers to be announced at the Music Center’s new venue Walt Disney Concert Hall.

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."

The rescheduled Los Angeles concert will take place on Thursday June 24th, 2004 at 8:00 PM at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond will be performing together for the first time in 24 years at the event. Tickets are available by calling the John Kerry for President office in Los Angeles at 310-556-9172 x106.

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.

Look at how Kerrey has milked headlines while claiming, "out of respect", he will not campaign this week. Then Kerry puts out:

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!

Cindy Adams: "One day I write the Kerry concerts are happening, next day I write the Kerry concerts are not happening, another day I write the Kerry concerts are again happening. Some future day I might have to write the latest slate of celebrities who are replacing those who can't make the new date. These Kerry concerts have given me a whole new career."
