No, no free beer, but wasn’t it cool how he reportedly fed the crowd with five loaves of bread and two fishes?

LOL But this crowd doesn't partake of loaves and fishes. That's for the bitter people, you know.

Kinda reminds you of when Bruce Springsteen played at a Kerry rally in 2004. Of course as soon as SPringsteen stoped playing and Kerry started talking most people left.

Here's 16 Military Wives:

Sixteen military wives
Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes
Staring at the natural tan of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands
Seventeen company men
Out of which only twelve will make it back again
Sergeant sends a letter to five
Military wives, whose tears drip down through ten little eyes

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da

Fifteen celebrity minds
Leading their fifteen sordid wretched checkered lives
Will they find the solution in time
Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?

Eighteen academy chairs
Out of which only seven really even care
Doling out the garland to five
Celebrity minds, they're humbly taken by surprise

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da

Fourteen cannibal kings
Wondering blithely what the dinner bell will bring
Fifteen celebrity minds
Served on a leafy bed OF sixteen military wives

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so!

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da

Great place to pick up some free subversive literature though....earth first broadsides, commie rag newspapers, etc. Hilarious reading.

What more can you say about a city whose motto is "Keep Portland Weird"

Walk around the Highlands section of Louisville, KY. You'll see "Keep Louisville Weird" signs in lots of businesses. Also, lots of Obama yard signs and lots of "Support the troops, End the war" yard signs. Bardstown road stretch through the Highlands reminds me of Tacoma Park, MD (you know, the People's Republic of Montgomery County).

I like Louisville, but you gotta gag a little at some areas where the 20 & 30 somethings look like a bunch of SF refugees.

Free vs. $15+$5 service (or whatever ticketmaster etc. are getting). He knew the band would draw a young “voting” crowd.

Might as well get Daniel Johnston of Jandek to sing a few tunes if they wanted someone with indie cred that no one in the audience had ever heard of and that they would be uncomfortable listening to for 30 minutes.

I’m not saying that a free Decembrists wouldn’t draw at all. I’m saying it miiiight draw 10000, but I doubt it. And even if it did, the other 40-60k ppl came for Obama. It was a very big Obama event. It’s lame to try to argue otherwise. But then, newsbusters is usually pretty lame.
