Vote for Change Tour

Acabei de saber que os meninos Pearl Jam se vao unir a outos musicos e realizar uma tour que apela a todos os americanos que nao votem no Sr Bush, elegendo assim um governo mais justo, de acordo com o que todos defendem."The upcoming election provides everyone an opportunity to change the direction our country is headed and to elect a government that is just, rational and respectful of the views and rights of the people it serves. This coalition of artists wants to be a part of that change." Diz Stone Gossard dos Pearl Jam.A tour consiste em 34 concertos em 28 cidades.Para além de Pearl Jam,estão incluidas nesta luta: Babyface, Jackson Browne, Bright Eyes, Dave Matthews Band,Death Cab for Cutie, The Dixie Chicks, John Fogerty, Ben Harper, Jurassic 5, Keb' Mo', John Mellencamp, My Morning Jacket, Bonnie Raitt, R.E.M., James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen (que surpreendeu,pois ja ha bastante tempo que nao se envolvia em questoes políticas) e The E Street Band.
“This is the fourth presidential election which Pearl Jam has engaged in as a band, and we feel it’s the most important one of our lifetime. We believe in the power of the first amendment, and have always exercised our right to free speech in every aspect of our lives and music. This year there is no more powerful way for all Americans to exercise that right than by voting. Given the extreme political climate of a country at war, we are proud to stand among the many artists involved in this tour and to encourage Americans not only to vote for a president this November 2nd, but to vote for the change they wish to see in the world.”Diz Vedder.
Esperemos que realmente consigam expulsar aquele palhaço...embora nao me pareça muito dificil...
