1. wow! I thought Dave Matthews was a strong Bush

supporter. I saw him on Politically Incorrect and he was singing praises to Bush...but then that has been awhile.

This is great news :bounce:

3. Dave Matthews has always been a strong strong liberal..

I've been following him since '94 ( he's from my hometown) and he's definitely a lefty.

[Blue_Roses]

6. well I must

definitely have him mixed up with someone else... :shrug:

[cosmokramer]

4. HELL NO! Dave is a strong, strong incredibly LIBERAL person...

...and he always has been. I think you are confusing him with someone else!

[RummyTheDummy]

5. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Dave Matthews is not a Bush supporter nor has he EVER been. He's ultra lib and an activist.

2. Technically speaking...

..Dave Matthews isn't holding the benefit, they are performing at the 'Concert for Kerry' (similar to what they had in CA). I hear Whoopi Goldberg will also be there.

11. Correct. Too late to edit title, but the text states this.

...GREAT SHOW, which is why I have been to so many...and I am pushing age 40 (actually, same age as Dave).

Used to see them in the clubs in Virginia...tremendous talent.

[mzmolly]

Go figure ...

I am certain they will be in my area soon. I'd sure love to see this broadcast. I wonder if CSPAN would cover it :evilgrin:
