Rock Legends to Play Obama Fundraiser
The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has just announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation. There are now more than 1 million more Democrats in the state than Republicans, an increase of 500,000 since 2004.
Tickets will be available at 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 19, and are $50 for the general public and $30 for University Park students with a Pennsylvania State University ID. More ticket information is available online at:

FIRST - Aaron...thank you. I spent a bit of time recently over on RatDog.org - many, many selfish 'know-it-alls' who can't distinguish opinion from fact. This vibe over here is WAY better...
SECOND - Pajak....other than BLOGGERS, do you have any FACTUAL evidence of what you spout? If so, post the link....not to a BLOG, but to an actual fact-based website. I'll be holding my breath.
Barack Obama - ties to terrorists???? It's LAUGHABLE....

Come off it, already. RDevil - don't believe every post you read. Blogging is what it is - a bunch of people who believe almost everything that comes into their 'inbox' and feel the need to comment on it, like it's fact. Obama's put out EVERYTHING he's been asked to put out. If there's ANYONE in this race hiding something, it's the young Governess of Alaska. Watch Olberman's video.

You tell him Hal!!!!!!!!! Very very nice post, aaron. We do squabble here too, but are a whole lot more really kind people.

Wow, maybe this is old news and maybe I'm just an old fart. I don't want to make sweeping generalizations or insult anyone, but the tone of posts about this show on this site is so much more reasonable, intellectual, and balanced. Man, that ratdog message board seems to be filled with angry, greedy, self-absorbed, and downright mean posts. Yes, we had some issues with ticketmaster, etc. But man, the posts on the other site come off as if everyone feels they're entitled to more than 2 tickets and that everyone is in this world just for themselves. I like it over here better. I posted there that I thought the 2 ticket limit was reasonable and that we're trying to share the vibe not hog the vibe. I was quickly called a dork and told to stfu. That's certainly not the deadhead spirit I've been experiencing in the last 25 years. What has happened? Am I alone? Am I missing something?
Again, no offense meant here. I'm just shocked at the difference.
I'm sticking to dead.net, where we can disagree without attacking each other. Quite an eye opener for me.
Peace,

After 8 years of all of the smoke and mirrors, shuck, awe and jive, fear mongering, wanton spending, repeat of Nixon, Reagan, Bush I covert, guns over butter, war on "insert here...communists, drugs, Panama, terror etc...", I can't think of a majority of people outside the top 8-10% who are much better after COLA adjustments, inflation, stagnation, tax rebates x 2, surging, splurging and unconstitutional debauchery that has taken place on Pennsylvania Avenue. If your retirement portfolio just lost 1/3 of it's value in days and your house is worth less than you bargained for you'd want change too.
I am from Alaska and would have appreciated (I have not met residential requirements) my Permanent Dividend fund of $2000 per person as well as the $1200 per person energy rebate that McCain's Gal Palin dished for us needy and cold Alaskan's. (Think 500,000 residents x $3200.00 = $1,600,000,000 pumped into the AK economy this year). This amount will not always be as high (the energy relief was supposedly a one shot deal and permanent funds fluctuate year to year). I asked my future sister in-law if she felt so liberal would she be willing to put her money where mouth was and give back her greasy money to the State? She sort of switched the subject and that ended tonight's political debate.
Also note, Pennsylvania will be one of those key states this year. You might not like the dead politics or lack there of, but you can't fault them for trying to make a difference. Maybe their $50 per ticket x 15,000 can help steal the face of the election like in Florida 2000?
I was listening to some of my dead collection today and I said to myself, man I wish I could see/hear some of this stuff live again. Even if the political affiliation is pro or con, it's a mutual and beneficial transaction agreed to by all parties.
Politics has not always been about what's right or wrong, but what good can be done for the majority of constituents, the politicos benefactors and how to convince as many of those people as possible that your ticket is the right one.
Maybe we can leave Jerry out of this discussion and let the man rest in peace?
It will be a 10 hour drive from South Carolina, but It will totally be worth it! I can't wait. We just got our tickets in the mail yesterday. Hope everyone has a good show!
See ya there,

My comment looks rather vague in print. Meant to say that the cover was right on in it's use of sarcasm.

Our favorite Band could have found with out a doubt many
other causes for a benefit show.
There are so MANY good ways to help People, organizations, and
institutions who can better use the funds needed for humanity's sake.
(Nature preservation, animal rights, the homeless ,
the poor, human rights,
hurricane relief,Education, Breast Cancer, all types of Cancer,
Organ Donation education, hunger,...too many more to mention)
How many can you all think of?
Politics isn't a good cause in my opinion.
Dark Star Orchestra is doing the right thing, by humbly
not leaning to the LEFT or the RIGHT sides of politics.
I hope this will be a good lesson to be learned.
just encourage folks to register and vote.
