15 years ago you might have said the same thing about Dave Matthews. 25 years ago you might have said the same thing about U2.
Sinatra hate the Beatles and Elvis too.
Rock and Roll ping
That's what happens when a collection of determinate liberals descends upon any locale. Things get hellish and hot. Had they stayed home the planet would have cooled a bit. Like December.
Decemberists=December Revolution
Even has soviet style wallpaper.
The band’s use of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union as an introduction at many concerts has sparked controversy as it is seen by some as an endorsement of the repressive Soviet system that not only banned western style rock music and other forms of personal expression, but is responsible for the Gulag system that imprisoned more than 18 mimllion Russians, and is responsible for the death of some 50 million citizens, making it one of the most deadly regimes in world history.
The Decemberists were heard to comment to their manager “I saw NO MORE PUPPET SHOWS!!!”
Obama is supposed to show up in St Petersburg tomorrow. The press is really pushing it, all the tkts are gone.
What a lot of people don’t know is that St. Petersburg has a large minority population.
The idiotic St Petersburg Times has a story about elephant herds in Africa for their front page headline (I guess nothing important was happening today)
Here is the page for the Tampa Tribune.

For all the people that can’t get tickets, I will save you the money.
Obama will come out. He will say:
Hope, Change, Hope, Change, Hope, Change. Not much else.
The MSM and some people will swoon. And nobody will be able to tell you anything concrete he’s talked about.
Forgive my off suject remark, but I was watching “House” last night on Fox, and in two of the scenes there was a sticker on the wall “Vote for Change, O—”. This man is being rammed down our throuts, and all the networks are in on it.
I bought a Decemberists CD last year. I didn’t like it; I sold it back.
Yup.
Left that part out did they? Shocked, I am.
Seattle is known for its local bands. I don’t know about 70 thousand people showing up for this band but I bet almost half were fans of their music.
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics.
In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderAnd this post (<-click) exposes how corrupt justices then began using FDR's politically correct license to ignore the 10th A. to unlawfully stifle traditional family values, including the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.
In fact, consider that the states have the constitutional power (10th A.) to authorize public schools to lead non-mandatory (14th A.) classroom discussions on the pros and cons of evolution, creationism and ID, as examples, regardless that atheists, separatists, pagan-minded judges and the MSM are misleading the people to think that doing such things in public schools is unconstitutional.
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problems that, since the days of FDR's dirty politics, Congress has not only not been operating with the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned, but the USSC has wrongly been ignoring the 10th A. protected power of the states to address religious issues.
The bottom line is that the people need to get in the faces of judges, demanding that judges uphold their oaths to defend the 10th A. protected powers of the states to address religious issues - or get off the bench. The people also need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of members of Congress, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.
Lincoln put it this way.
"We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." --Abraham Lincoln, Political debates between Lincoln and Douglas, 1858.
My bad...the CD I bought was by Okerville River or something like that.
Obama, St. Petersberg, Decemberists. Is he trying to tell us something, like, Obamie the Commie?
Coming to the national scene, May 22nd. Trust me!
LOL, yea but sold out where? I see on their website they are playing the Les Schwab Ampitheater in OR. That's a home state show. They are the opening act for Death Cab for Cutie (from Seattle) .The place holds 9000 ppl, ok? A 9000 seat venue in Oregon. They aren't even the headliner. And tix are still available.
So that settles that. The Decembrists can't pull 10000 people, let alone 70K. That was an OBama crowd. Why argue it? You ever been to Portland? Commie central.
Hey ! I saw that Shi& too, and where was it(?), in the bathroom!Its were all liberal intellect issues from. THE TOILET BOWL.
You got that right! What more can you say about a city whose motto is "Keep Portland Weird". It's also referred to as "Moscow on the Willamette".
A lot of people who have moved out here to the Oregon Coast from Portland hate to have to go anywhere near there, and it breaks their hearts to see their once beautiful city turn into a mecca for the bizarros.
They are actually a fantastic band (imo). I’m disappointed, yet not surprised, they support the socialist. Most artists are pretty removed from reality.
