    Rock Legends to Play Obama Fundraiser

    The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has just announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation. There are now more than 1 million more Democrats in the state than Republicans, an increase of 500,000 since 2004.

    Tickets will be available at 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 19, and are $50 for the general public and $30 for University Park students with a Pennsylvania State University ID. More ticket information is available online at:

    I just don't understand anything except you all want change!
    I don't mean like the spangers in the lots either! My brother was in the Pentagon on 9/11, he was then shipped out to Afganastan for his 2 year reserve and finally retired after 22 years of service. As far as our government is concerned, they never except responsibility for anything they cause, or cause to happen. Soldiers that went to Desert Storm have contracted all different kinds of illinesses due to inhalation of chemicals from factories that we blew up. Our government denies all responsibility. My own brother loses his site from time to time, the government said it was not from the Gulf War, even though it came to pass right after his third trip there. Whoever wins this election, in my eyes really doesn't matter all that much. I say this because, after all the promises and rants about what they are going to do if elected, they have no power over what really goes on. The Senate and Congress end up with the final say, all the President can do is Veto away. This is a show for the people who want to see a great show and have a great time, in addition to helping a cause the different band members wish to stand behind. If you want to see a really great show, I say go no matter who wish to support. If you want to turn this into a total political issue, then maybe you should stay home. The Grateful Dead have always supported different foundation they stood behind and we all supported their choices. I personally think the Republicans have already shown enough of distruction to this country to be passed over on this election. I even bet that the people that were in Berkeley in the sixties cringed when Regan was elected President the first time. I feel he began the first war on hippies while Gov. of California, sending in the National Guard over the protest to keep Peoples Park for the peolple. I will not vote for either Obama or McCain. I feel it's time to go back to Abby Hoffman's idea of running a pig for the office! I feel no one person in any office can make the changes we need in this country! It must first start with the people, we all need to stop bickering and start helping one another to achieve a civil society where everone is welcome. Just like at the shows of old!!! I'm not saying open our boarders to everyone, that a whole different can of worms. We need to help fix the problems ourselves. So with all this nonsense being said, I believe Jerry would support change for the good of people everywhere. If that means to vote for Obama to you, do it if you feel this will start the healing process. Just stop trying to understand why all these band members want to support Obama, they all have their own reasons which are just that. THEIR OWN REASONS. Whatever you believe is what you believe, it will still be a show that will never be forgotten!!! I say enjoy it without bringing an arguement!!! To the one who mentioned Edward Abby, he was a great man who souly loved the earth and wilderness, I personally think "The Monkey Wrench Gang" should be a high school assignment in order to make people aware. I studied uder a very good friend of his Richard Shelton for two years, who hired Abby to teach non-fiction at the U of A. Wthout clean air and water we will not survive!!! Stay Green!!!

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
