Lone Vietnam Vet Protests Kerry at Radio City Concert on 7/8

Greetings everyone.

I was just walking past Radio City Music Hall in NYC a few minutes ago and remembered that the delayed "Stars for Kerry" concert is going on tonight.  Might be a good FReep possibility if folks are available.

The one person who's there already is a lone Vietnam Veteran with a few protest signs and a bible.  He's associated with the Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry website.

There's a crowd of mostly female NY libs milling around the Radio City so he was happy to speak to someone with words of encouragement.  I'll probably stop down again after work today.

Anyone working in midtown might want to pop out and say hello.  He knows of FreeRepublic but hasn't visited.  I encouraged him to do so.

The concert at Radio City tonight will feature the Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, John Mellencamp, Jon Bon Jovi, Wyclef Jean, Whoopi Goldberg and others.

Here are some previous threads on these concerts:

DAVE MATTHEWS - Terminally weird Tourettes victim.

JON BON JOVI - Old, washed-up hair-band shrieker.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG - Unfunny self-caricature whose unfunny series was appropriately zotted.

WYCLEF JEAN - Who?... or , rather, What?

JOHN MELLENCAMP - Preening, self-righteous, drugged-out no-talent.

BETTE MIDLER - Homely no-talent who made a career covering the songs of her betters (The Andrews Sisters, Patti Page, etc.) and always, ALWAYS sings flat! (Her series was canceled too. Remember?)

JAMES TAYLOR - Silver-spooner who rebounded from drug addiction to make a career as a phony folkie.

ROBIN WILLIAMS - Mr. Irritating. Comics I met at the comedy clubs in L.A. claimed he regularly stole their material.

Thanks for the "ping."

Gee, genuine Vietnam veterans versus whack psuedo-celebrities who couldn't carry the jocks of real stars from Hollywood's "Golden Age."

I wonder who has the upper hand in that little tete-a-tete?

Don't worry.

It happens to the best of us.

I used to listen to "The Offspring" for goodness sake!

Now, how do you think I'll be able to explain that to prospective employers, girlfriends, in-laws?(!)

Thanks!

My own cover of a classic punk song:

I hate the poseurs.

I hate the libs.

I hate the actors.

I hate their sibs-(i.e. musicians)

Yeh, it's cool to hate!

Don't like them all,

And that's fine by me!

(Extended bass riff. Extremely loud, canyoning echo effect made by Dexter Holland/chorus vocals. He then smooths back ridiculous, dyed-blond hair.)
