I don't want Dave Matthews Band telling me how to vote, and all that does is make me stop listening to them.
People's minds are made up for those that are going to bother to vote, all it does it alienate and piss people off.
They should take the politics out of music unless you're fully and completely political.

It might piss off the diehard Bush supporters, but they were already going to vote for Bush so it doesn't matter.
The point of things like this is to get to the 40% of Americans who don't vote. These people might show up because they just want to hear some good music. During the show, they'll probably learn some new facts about our failure of a president. Hopefully, by the end, some of them will be motivated to vote for change.
These artists aren't "telling me how to vote" any more than Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh. Most of the time they are simply presenting an opinion and hoping you do the right thing on election day.
