That wasn't my experience. The bands didn't say a whole lot, just said why they were there. They kind of expected you to know the issues and to tell your friends about them. In line at the concessions and in line for the toilets you'd have people passing out flyers or absentee ballot forms. You get stuff like that at most concerts anyway. Save the animals, save the trees, meat is murder, blah blah blah. During the show there isn't any way to get out a message like that. The fans wouldn't have allowed it no matter where they stood on the issues. Damn, you just spend $50 on a ticket you want some music.
And the whole vote for change idea. Why not vote for Kerry? The vote for change concept is pretty scary because no one is really voting for Kerry, they're voting for change. Does that frighten anyone at all?
