Jimmy doing Kerry tour?

[brianmc]

the news page says yes. I haven't seen his name on the moveon.org website. Doesn't sound like Jimmy's style to do this tour.

[Ragtopnewbie]

He prob won't - but look for him to show up at the west palm airport days before the election. You won't hear about it in the news but the local democraticcampaign office will knowwhen it is. Most likely Monday - mid afternoon and if history repeats - a rally, not a concert so be prepared to hear anti-Bush speeches by Bill Nelson and others. It's pretty cool to see Jimmy up that close!

[MelliJellyBean]

I doubt he will do it, just because hed be coming off of his summer tour, but if he did, that would be awesome

[Parrot Monkey]

Not sure if this has been brought up in another thread, but I read in the paper that he will not be participating in the Vote for Change Tour because he dosen't like the fact that people have to give out to much personal information upon getting tickets.

[Wino you know]

I'd be very surprised if he DID participate.
Jimmy is above that, and always has been.
At his concerts, he prefers to give a CONCERT!
Jeez, imagine THAT!

I always thought that Jimmy chose to stay out of politics, for whatever reason?! I like artists that say out of politics though for many reasons...and I'm glad that Jimmy isn't on CNN or other stations giving his piece on the upcoming election. I feel like he really sees himself as just another person, and another vote.

I sure hope not. I know JB is a big supporter of the Dems, but I just try and ignore that flaw....

I don't think JB will do this for business reasons. He's finally getting country air play. If he would have the nerve to campaign for John Kerry, he would be pulled off of Clear Channel radio Nationwide! I think there are 2 or 3 other country "hits" on the new cd. Notice, you don't see many country artists speaking out?

Celebrities on CNN are just another person and another vote too... they just happen to have access to exposure. Doesn't mean they're any more important or that they THINK they're any more important.

A lot of times it's about starting a public discussion... sometimes it takes folks with a higher profile to get the converstation going...
