Musicians for the D.C. March

[RonPaulVolunteer]

It's easy to get a band to come play to the biggest audience they have ever played to and likely ever will, so we're going to have to be very selective. I think we should only have bands playing that are very very much in support of Ron Paul, musicians that have already express support for the movement, like Marc Scibilia and Aimee Allen, Ralph Buckley, Steve Dore... Having the biggest names is not important, and we don't want the media saying people came just to hear Radiohead play for free.

Don't the Foo Fighters support Ron Paul? THAT's who we need to ask to play.

Big names = publicity

Dave Grohl is from DC.

 

[Finn]

Foo Fighters does not support Ron Paul, as was explained earlier in this thread. They want nothing to do with libertarianism.

So please don't go spamming their forum, again.

I would argue that it should be a mix of bands that have shown their support of Ron Paul, but also bands for whom this isn't "the biggest audience they have ever played to and likely ever will" Ideally, we'd have a long list of bands / artists who want to play who have played in arenas, stadiums, large festivals and also have written songs about Ron Paul.

Off hand, I'm not sure I can think of one. You're probably going to find either bigger acts who haven't written songs about Ron Paul or smaller acts who have.

I'd think you'd want a mix.

We probably can get the smaller acts who have written the songs, and most likely, that's probably what we'll end up with.

I wouldn't worry too much about press bias re: Radiohead.

If we can get Radiohead, we should get Radiohead.

Are you kidding? Exactly how few people are you expecting to turn up? There's no chance any band on earth has played to the number of people we will get at this rally.

What about those guys who posted the Ron Paul rap video? I'm not into rap and I can't remember the link.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: found it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVrszyW9dPE these guys...

And how about Staylight Run?

The lead singer got asked about his political preferences and said...

"over the past few years i've been getting more and more into following politics and world events. i've kind of become addicted to all this election coverage. i'm finding though that i'm watching it like a sport, and like it's anyone's game now and you don't know what's going to happen next. i think that in a certain way that's the best way to look at it because it is all sort of just a strategic game. but i've actually found myself getting pretty excited about the prospect of barak obabma winning. he seems like the only person on the democratic side who's actually a real person and not just a political machine. on the republican side i think ron paul is very intriguing. he doesn't have a chance of winning but his ideas are really different and really interesting."

I think if it was really clear that this is about the ideals, we could snag them. And they are a pretty well known band.

Radiohead - Electioneering

I will stop, I will stop at nothing
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote

When I go forwards, you go backwards
Somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards, you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet

Riot shields, voodoo economics
It's just business, cattle prods, and the IMF
I trust I can rely on your vote

When I go forwards, you go backwards
Somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards, you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet

Sorry Foo Fighters are not Ron Paul supporters they were on a radio station called KROQ 106.7 in CA Keven and Bean morning show. This was about 1 month ago. They were asked who they supported for president. You can hear this guy yelling in the background RON PAUL. They said they are not very political and only toured with John Kerry because they were asked to. Dave Grohl did say he was inspired to write pretender when he was on the road with Kerry.

I was praying they would of said Ron Paul but oh well.

It would be great if Tool would play. I'm not who Maynard et al are supporting.
