Dave Matthews to perform at campaign rallies for Fetterman, Ryan
The Hill ^ | 10/18/2022 | Judy Kurtz

Dave Matthews is aiming to bring a “Crush” of voters to the polls, performing at get-out-the-vote rallies for a trio of Democrats in high-profile midterm election races.

The “Crash Into Me” singer will take to the stage in Pittsburgh on Oct. 26 for a free concert to support Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s (D) Senate bid, the band announced Tuesday. Fetterman’s race against celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz (R) to replace the retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R) is one of the most closely watched November contests in the country.

The announcement of the Dave Matthews Band’s lead singer’s push in Pennsylvania comes just days after the band said it would also play in front of an audience in Raleigh, N.C., on Oct. 25 “in support of Cheri Beasley and [North Carolina] Democrats.”

He didn’t invent the iPod, either.

Hat tip to 2014’s “Just Go With It”

I always thought his music sucked even before I learned that he was a libtard.

That kind of stuff never works for the candidate.
One year Willie Nelson held a free concert with Beto O’Rourke. Beto even sang On The Road Again with him on stage. LOL. Little did he know he’d be on the road again headed home.
The news reported 1000’s and 1000’s and 1000’s were there to support Beto. Yeah, right. A free Willie Nelson concert is more what they came to support.

Probably offered free beer as well.

To the Democrats, it is all about celebrity. Almost every candidate in every senate race is a celebrity or surrounds themselves with music, TV or sports people.

It’s funny how many comments are about the tour bus toilet incident in Chicago, in which 800 gallons of waste were unloaded through the Kinzie Street Bridge onto a boatload of tourists. I know that’s what I think about when I hear his name. The incident even has its own Wikipedia page.

I wouldn’t listen to Dave Matthews if you gave me free streaming.

Actually, even though it is a free concert, it is just used as an opportunity to get everyone’s cell #, so they can hound them to early vote or vote on election day.

This is the group that dropped a load of @#$% on some boat tourists on the Chicago River about 20 years ago.

Well Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen really helped Hillary in 2016. The Democrats are feeling desperate.

Something about playing music when the ship is sinking and acting like everything is O.K.

Another former “celebrity” desperate to get their name in the news. Dave Matthews hasn’t had his name in the news in about 20 years. Next thing you know, he’ll be ranting and raving about how Dr. Oz is a Nazi. That will be good for another news article.
