I'm a Republican and a DMB fan. I went to the Vote for Change concert Friday night. Dave said his usual "Thank you for coming I hope you are having a good time" and followed it up with "You know why we are here. We just want to say it is important to vote and that you vote November 2nd. And hopefully you'll vote for the same guy I do." With that they played the next song. They didn't tell anybody how to vote. In the televised things, Dave and Boyd said how they felt about things but they didn't tell anyone how to vote. I admire all those bands for standing up for what they believe.
One thing that has pissed me off about this administration is how some Republicans have made such an issue over having a different viewpoint than that of the administration. Disagreeing with the President is unpatriotic. I think that was the biggest load of shit I have ever heard. I don't hear it as much as I used to but for the period right before we went into Iraq I thought it was pretty bad.
