Musicians for the D.C. March

[RonPaulVolunteer]

If you're a musician and can commit to play in Washing D.C. for the r3VOLution March, post below and I'll add you to the OP.

The basic agenda would be to have multiple stages around the city on Friday night and all day Saturday. We want to give as many musicians as possible a chance to show off their stuff.


RSVP'd Musicians...

CONFIRMED AVAILABLE TO PLAY:
Marc Scibilia (http://HopeAnthem.com)
Randy Blain (http://cosmicvaudeville.ueuo.com/)
Michael Mink
The Underwater (http://myspace.com/theunderwater)
Poker Face (http://www.pokerface.com)

TENTATIVE YES:
Steve McCormack (http://www.ilike.com/artist/Steve+McCormack)

WAITING FOR RESPONSE:
Willie Nelson Contact him if you can
Prodigy of Mobb Deep Contact him if you can

Being Confirmed available to play does not mean they will be in the line up. We will have several stages with musicians playing during the day with up to 100 acts throughout the day.


Send me a Private Message if you need to or you can give out this email for bands or their management to contact me directly: June7Music @ gmail.com

Please help me with some of the effort here. Go ahead and take the initiative to contact a band and ask them to play. Don't worry if someone else said they are already going to do it, do it anyway. If a band is hesitant and they get 5 requests, they are more than likely going to commit.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Do you know musicians that will come play? Talk to them...

I have a lot of people that will help us mobilize with this. This is going to be REALLY FUN :)

[FortWorth38]

WILLIE & Friends(fingers crossed)

[Airborn]

pokerface would play I'm sure( I'm not involved with them or voicing for them) They are pro-Paul and sign about alot of stuff dealing with our revolution

[Airborn]

R[ƎVO˩]UTIONSTOCK 08

[michael6186]

Don't the Foo Fighters support Ron Paul? THAT's who we need to ask to play.

Big names = publicity

MAYBE:

Me.. Three piece band can be heard here
http://cosmicvaudeville.ueuo.com
I wrote, produced, engineered, sang and played guitar on all the songs. The band I used went from first rehearsal to final take in eight weeks. The False Emperors Song, Circle Of Abuse and Dance O' Shades are quite cogent to this election cycle.

However I have a wicked acoustic set for this venue with some historical songs and Americana. Same set I did for the rock festival in Little Five Points that took over the counterculture mecca of the southeast under The R3volution banner for 14 hours on the 700th anniversary of the arrest of the Knights Templar (gold metal trusts). Didn't realize that till the day prior to the event.

Here's who played at Ron Paul Bash in Harrisburg, PA on December 15.

The Underwater, Holis, Poker Face, Colossal Oz, Artists Over Industry, Red 18, A Utopian Skyline, Jump The Gun, 7th Layer, + more

http://ronpaulbash.com

The Underwater is a good band. http://myspace.com/theunderwater

They're on tour now, but they'll be back here.
They might be in Europe at the time, so it depends on when the march is.

Holis's lead singer went up to New Hampshire to work for Ron Paul.

Poker Face was mentioned before.

I'm guessing they'd all do it.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

If you know those bands, please contact them and tell to contact me.

[flames2dust77]

Don't the Foo Fighters support Ron Paul? THAT's who we need to ask to play.

Big names = publicity

no...they do not. david grohl posted a blog on their website. he said while he agrees with some of what ron paul says...he does not agree with everything. he said they did not pass out ron paul literature after their concert. it was a group of ron paul supporters doing it in the parking lot after the concert. if you google it...you'll see.

GET JOHN MAYER!!!

John Mayer is a known supporter of Ron Paul.

I am from his home town. His mother still lives in this town. A lot of people there know and communicate with John Mayer - I'll get on this ASAP.

http://www.johnmayer.com/contact

[Harbinger]

I don't know what Steve Vaus is doing these days or if he is a supporter of Dr. Paul, but if anyone knows how to get in contact with him he would be a great performer for this event.

Here's one of his songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi5K6GOKsAw

His songs "Tea Party" and "Wrong's Not Right" are also pretty good.

[parocks]

I live in Pennsylvania. I'm in the music biz here. I could probably line up a lot of bands (100?) in a week to perform in DC. Bands, typically, do want to play in front of 10,000 people or more.

The question really isn't "how quickly can we get a long list of bands / performers who are willing to play a free show in front of the largest crowd they've ever performed in front of?" I'd say the answer to that is "very quickly" Much, much more quickly than we need to.

The question really is "how do we proceed with this?"

We really should try to get an answer to that. We do know that Ron Paul did mention, briefly in the youtube video, music, so there should be music.

I'd change the word "confirmed" because it seems like those people will actually be playing. Maybe "willing and able" to play or something.

Just want to give an update: I posted the link to his booking agent's contact information. Please refrain from contacting this individual until we've worked out the final touches on the plan.

As soon as there is a decided day for this march, I will contact the agent myself.

[biles1234]

I agree about JOHN MAYER!!!!! Also what about the Sex Pistols??!

I do not know if any of you guys have heard of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club aka. BRMC.

They are a pretty big indie rock group and their music (which is awesome) carries a strong anti-establishment and libertarian undertone to it, at least as far as I can tell.

Two of the most popular and incredible songs from their 2007 album Baby 81, especially are very political and anti-establishment and revolution-tinged.

I just posted on their message board suggesting the possibility of them performing at the march. I can't wait to see if there is any response!! It would be utterly amazing.

[Airborn]

Scott Mitchell(Freedom train), Jake Kellen(Ron Paul Landslide) ???

[CatherineBleish]

What about John Maher (sp?). Isn't there TMZ footage of him talking about Dr. Paul?

[jrich4rpaul]

A) Why would bands play at a march?
B) I hope they aren't all truther bands

[CatherineBleish]

Oh, or David Rovics?

http://www.pandora.com/music/artist/david+rovics

[biles1234]

Also as far as celebrities speaking/appearing...

Drew Carey is a libertarian and donated to Ron's campaign.

Also what about Nolan Ryan, the pitching legend!! He campaigned on behalf of Dr. Paul in Texas in the mid-90's!

[RonPaulVolunteer]

It won't just be a march, it will be an all-day affair. We will have bands playing all day. This will be r3VOLtionstock '08!!

Willie Nelson And John Mayer

Yes!

They could both come with just their acoustic guitars.

It would remind everybody of Bob Dylan playing in protest in DC some forty years ago!

Foo Fighters are from Annandale VA - they would support this. As a DJ I opened for Paul Van Dyk before and can DJ and set up a booth with a # of top DJ's.

[CrazyRonPaulSupporter]

If we could get Willie Nelson to come and play for us. That would get us huge media attention. He is against all wars, so having him play at our event wouldn't be impossible!

I totally meant for this to be a PM. lol. ah, well.

[thegr8drronpaul]

Has this been discussed before?

Not sure if Lenny Kravitz endorsed anyone yet, but :

Also his album "It's Time For A Love Revolution" just came out

i would so go to the rally for Lenny alone. sorry Dr. Paul...but I love meh some Lenny=)

while that would be awesome....they haven't gotten back together have they? hmmmm.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Also as far as celebrities speaking/appearing...

Drew Carey is a libertarian and donated to Ron's campaign.

Also what about Nolan Ryan, the pitching legend!! He campaigned on behalf of Dr. Paul in Texas in the mid-90's!

So did: Barry Manilow!

[thoughtbombing]

I could get a lot of DJ's to come and play... Dubstep, Reggae, Jumpup, Ska, Breakbeats... all against war in all forms. Not crazy activists, but a very chill crowd.

Also, perhaps we could get John Mayer to come and play.... have the campaign get ahold of him. gogo!

[thoughtbombing]

I would also be willing to personally sponsor a stage at this event.

[parocks]

Rude Buddha - www.myspace.com/rudebuddha

I've heard of em. They're a solid band with solid creds.

[JS4Pat]

In addition to LIVE music acts - We need to have jumbo video screens with a first rate sound system playing the "Best Of" You Tube Music Videos.

[Magicman]

We proved that we can raise millions of dollars. We can easily be able to pick up huge acts with our powerful grassroots. What do you guys think about an idea like this with a diversified cast of musical talents. We should definitely bring in some Ron Paul bands that have been here all the way and also bring in huge acts that have supported Paul as headliners such as John Mayer and Foo Fighters.

The way this lineup is perfect because it translates a distinct fusion of different musical interests and enough for any musical fan to get enough interest of their respective genres.


The idea here is that these bands can really bring in tons of people and make our movement much bigger. Once people here Dr. Paul's message which will resonate with a broad base of musical supporters it can really make the message more powerful then ever.

This NEEDS to be bigger then a Ron Paul March it needs to translate into a real movement and to bring in people who have never heard of him. Music is a universal language and this is probably the best way we can capture what our generation has missed and was vital in the 60s'. We can forever change the face of our music/political schematics if we show that their is still a voice left!

You've got the right idea. Check out my thread or the reply about Coachella. That is perfect for a unique crowd of people.

We need a diversified lineup - Rock, Electronic Music, Chill, Pop like John Mayer, maybe even some patriotic country.


Important to be able to pick up a unique demographic of young and older folks and not to alienate as well.

[alexpasch]

Lol I can see the headlines now:

"Millions show up to see Lenny, Zep, RATM, and Mayer at the National Mall...rally was originally intended as a show of support for presidential long-shot Ron Paul, but polling shows 99% of attendants were just there for the music"

[Commander Yo]

Yeah,
I know this guy who would love to play at the March! This dude crushes.
His name is Commander Yo! :cool:

http://podsafeaudio.com/jamroom/bands/249/


He also has a band called Karma Logic, although the drummer is an Obama supporter. He is a great drummer though. The rest are all Paulites to the core.


Viva la Revolucion!

[Magicman]

In addition to LIVE music acts - We need to have jumbo video screens with a first rate sound system playing the "Best Of" You Tube Music Videos.


I know of some amazing live production suites in New England. This guy Rob Soup can record our entire event on DVD and pan to the audience and put them on display screen while putting special effects media with it. He's got lasers that can put Ron Paul Revolution logo across the ENTIRE city! That will make a dent for our movement, trust!

He's got a sound production setup as well concert size.

He's one of the best on the East Coast.

He's a libertarian as well and may be excited to do this. He also used to do the major festivals all along the East Coast.

Here's his website:

maybe even some patriotic country.



No, not that!!!

Oh yeah, what are they going to have surveys asking people who you are here for? Cmon... No matter what the media will try and ignore or marginalize this event; we need to focus less on them and more on the potential on growth. I'm telling you if Paul gives a speech it will be able to ignite passion among us but mnore importantly a crowd of newcomers. Putting acts that follow in diversification and also Paul's message or a combination of both will be able to help with this objective.

Music has always played a vital role in politics...build a direction so that you could incorporate both so it folds Ron Paul right into this whole idea.

It needs to be more then about Ron Paul it needs to have a direction if this intends to grow. Music is a universal language and can play a vital role on growing the movement and sparking new interest.

Roger Waters (formerly of Pink Floyd) would be a great catch, he's definately sympathetic to the movement, but I'm not sure if he's even heard of Ron Paul (being British and all).

On another note, would it be possible to set up micro FM transmitters so that we could broadcast to the DC area? I think ones below certain wattage are unregulated.

I think Melissa Etheridge should be approached. Although her politics and Dr Paul's do not line up directly she is hard core Stop the War. She has many activist type songs which would go well with this sort of gathering too. A nice letter campaign asking her to consult her friend Dennis Kucinich might cause her to give the march a closer look.

Ron Paul is better of Individual rights than ANY Candidate, Save Kucinich, who is right there with us on the rights of Gays(among all groups, not JUST gays)

Now that Kuch is out, this should be a no brainer.

Paul from Poker Face sent me this Myspace message:

From: Poker Face
Date: Feb 12, 2008 2:00 PM


Are you one of the organizers??

If you are, please shoot me a tele# and a good time to reach you at it..

We would love to do it, but 6/7/8 is the date I get married, and my whole band are the grooms/ushers contingent.

We are 3.5 hours up the road on I-95

We have had a lot of fans contact us and ask us to play at it.

The 4/19 date was great
July 4th was still open for us...

We would play memorial day weekend date for RP in DC instead of the National Convention for the Libertarian party in CO

so let us know.

Also here are some of our music lending support to the campaign..

Well, if it's going to be a long event, there should be music, and if there's going to be music it should be good, so we're working to make it good.

"Good" is very subjective.

Yes!

They could both come with just their acoustic guitars.

It would remind everybody of Bob Dylan playing in protest in DC some forty years ago!

I am usually a hard rock three piece outfit.. But I am doing what needs doing for this type of tradition and venue. I am not going to be playing to knock people over with a wall of sound. I am going play some cogent tunes as an acoustic set. I have a beyond gypsy and bluegrass fingerstyle so it won't be just a strumfest that Belushi would cram a guitar into someones head for.

Great to see a bunch of other folks clued into Poker Face.
They, like Dr Paul, have been pushing Freedom 1776 style since at least 1994 that I know of. And like Dr Paul have taken flack by the America haters, and Truth haters for being great messengers of our forefathers message of Freedom for All. Not just freedom for the elite, by the elite, and of the elite as it is now quickly becoming.

ps Paul Topete the lead singer would make a great speaker. Paul and the band are well versed on most of the problems affecting America today, and put forth a lot of real solutions to many of them. Here he is speaking at a a couple of anti-illegal immigration rallies held in PA/NJ last year

Just heard a caller on Alex Jones saying that a punk rock band U.S. Bombs is right now touring for Ron Paul, or something similar...

[ThisCharmingAzn]

I can't believe no one has suggested RADIOHEAD

I don't know what Thom's political stance is, all I know is that he is political and strongly against global warming and globalization. He's against the war, thinks Bush and Blair suck, blah blah

Really, Radiohead being at the rally would be HUUUUUUUUUGE

Sorry for my lack of posts, I have been busy today!

My email address is in the OP, so email if you need me.

[Xenophage]

Rush would be the best :)

[JK/SEA]

How about someone from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young?...or all of them. David Crosby is hardcore gun rights and maybe someone from the band could give a speech?... and they all protested the war. The last tour they did was off the charts for me.

http://www.crosbycpr.com/content/features/news/POLITICS.html

[Magicman]

Prodigy of Mobb Deep is a Ron Paul supporter. It would be good to get a few hip hop artists to diversify the lineup. Freedom comes in all languages

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkEUda92a1c

[Magicman]

Radiohead would be perfect. Great group of supporters for our cause. They are huge on peace and also do not carry the weight as say Rage against the machine. Although personally I would love to see them too.

I just heard Neil Young saying that he doesn't feel that Music has the power to change the world anymore.

He should be definitely be asked to help change that feeling.

[Son of Detroit]

Jimmie Vaughan? Brother of Stevie Ray?

He's a RP supporter.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

I just heard Neil Young saying that he doesn't feel that Music has the power to change the world anymore.

He should be definitely be asked to help change that feeling.

Obviously hasn't seen inside a teenage girls room lately then....

[buffalokid777]

Jimmie Vaughan is playing in Austin on Feb 23 at the Austin rally. I don't know if he supports Ron Paul, but since he's playing the rally I'd assume it. If no one has mentioned him I think it would be great.

Vey Realistic as he knows Alex Jones...and his song "no shackles on me"

[buffalokid777]

Also another realistic possibility would be Phil Lesh + Friends....

Phil was the bass player for the grateful dead.....

He has played with John Mayer on New Years at the warfield in San Francisco....if there's any hope that John Mayer might play.

Phil Lesh is someone who hasn't been heard of much since his traitor band mates from the grateful dead, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart became members of the Bohemian Club and played at Bohemian grove....

But Phil is a good guy who tries to do what is right and someone who would prolly put his support behind Ron Paul and play if asked, especially if John Mayer was in the lineup.

Also someone Phil respects very much threw a fundraiser for Ron Paul in 1988 in his libertarian presidential bid adding even more reason for his band to play, also Phil has ins with willie.

Also Neil Young would be a possibilty, while I acknowledge his statement on music can't change the world....he might see his endorsement towards someone who could change the world....might help.

WAITING FOR RESPONSE:
Willie Nelson Contact him if you can


I may be able to get in touch with him...I did some work for people in the country music business. One of them is big in Nashville so i'll see what I can find out.


Edit: sent an email... "I have a strange question for you and I dont even know if you have a contact for him but, Willie Nelson is a Ron Paul supporter and supporters are organizing a rally in D.C. sometime in the next few months. They are trying to reach him or his management to see if he would be interested in playing at the rally. I figured I would try and give you a shot and see if you know how to get in touch with him.

if you know of any other celebs/musicians that may be supporters of Ron Paul, let them know about the planned rally and direct them to http://www.ronpaulforums.com/ for more info
"

[Captain Shays]

Yeah man. Pokerface is it! We need them.


I would also STRONGLY suggest that if anyone knows some Christian bands it would be great to have them come along to show how many Christians support Ron Paul instead of Huckabee.

[Pauliana]

Let's get

Willie Nelson is a Ron Paul supporter
Actually, Willie Nelson is a Kucinich supporter, although he did say he thinks Ron Paul is a good guy.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

It's easy to get a band to come play to the biggest audience they have ever played to and likely ever will, so we're going to have to be very selective. I think we should only have bands playing that are very very much in support of Ron Paul, musicians that have already express support for the movement, like Marc Scibilia and Aimee Allen, Ralph Buckley, Steve Dore... Having the biggest names is not important, and we don't want the media saying people came just to hear Radiohead play for free.

[jason43]

Don't the Foo Fighters support Ron Paul? THAT's who we need to ask to play.

Big names = publicity

Dave Grohl is from DC.

[Finn]

Foo Fighters does not support Ron Paul, as was explained earlier in this thread. They want nothing to do with libertarianism.

So please don't go spamming their forum, again.

I would argue that it should be a mix of bands that have shown their support of Ron Paul, but also bands for whom this isn't "the biggest audience they have ever played to and likely ever will" Ideally, we'd have a long list of bands / artists who want to play who have played in arenas, stadiums, large festivals and also have written songs about Ron Paul.

Off hand, I'm not sure I can think of one. You're probably going to find either bigger acts who haven't written songs about Ron Paul or smaller acts who have.

I'd think you'd want a mix.

We probably can get the smaller acts who have written the songs, and most likely, that's probably what we'll end up with.

I wouldn't worry too much about press bias re: Radiohead.

If we can get Radiohead, we should get Radiohead.

Are you kidding? Exactly how few people are you expecting to turn up? There's no chance any band on earth has played to the number of people we will get at this rally.

[Nate SY]

What about those guys who posted the Ron Paul rap video? I'm not into rap and I can't remember the link.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: found it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVrszyW9dPE these guys...

[Nate SY]

And how about Staylight Run?

The lead singer got asked about his political preferences and said...

"over the past few years i've been getting more and more into following politics and world events. i've kind of become addicted to all this election coverage. i'm finding though that i'm watching it like a sport, and like it's anyone's game now and you don't know what's going to happen next. i think that in a certain way that's the best way to look at it because it is all sort of just a strategic game. but i've actually found myself getting pretty excited about the prospect of barak obabma winning. he seems like the only person on the democratic side who's actually a real person and not just a political machine. on the republican side i think ron paul is very intriguing. he doesn't have a chance of winning but his ideas are really different and really interesting."

http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=288332&page=46 <---- Site the comments came from.

I think if it was really clear that this is about the ideals, we could snag them. And they are a pretty well known band.

Sorry Foo Fighters are not Ron Paul supporters they were on a radio station called KROQ 106.7 in CA Keven and Bean morning show. This was about 1 month ago. They were asked who they supported for president. You can hear this guy yelling in the background RON PAUL. They said they are not very political and only toured with John Kerry because they were asked to. Dave Grohl did say he was inspired to write pretender when he was on the road with Kerry.

I was praying they would of said Ron Paul but oh well.

- The Guinness Book of Records says the largest free rock concert attendance was for Rod Stewart, also on Copacabana Beach, on New Year's Eve 1994. It reportedly attracted an audience of 3.5 million people.

- The largest paying audience for a solo performer was the estimated 180 000 to 184 000 people who saw Paul McCartney in Rio's Maracana Stadium on April 21 1990, also according to Guinness.

- About 750 000 people saw country star Garth Brooks in New York's Central Park in August 1997.

- The United States festival organised by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak drew 670 000 people to Devore, California, in May 1983 to see U2, David Bowie, Willie Nelson and others.

- The legendary Woodstock Festival in upstate New York in 1969 gathered 400 000 people to see The Who, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead and a host of others.

- A free Rolling Stones concert in London's Hyde Park in July 1969, days after the death of guitarist Brian Jones, drew 200 000. Mick Jagger read a Shelley poem and released hundreds of butterflies in tribute to Jones.

Haha, lucky fuck.

This year they haven't got a world tour or anything, just a few random festival dates, so they'll have a lot of free time on their hands.

I believe they'd also be interested in playing such an event, but only if they could be convinced it'd be one of those legendary events where masses upon masses of people turn up.

Muse would be perfect for a way to end a night though. Anyone who's seen them live will agree they're one of the best live acts on the planet today, and their material is suited to Ron Paul's message in a way.

It's definitely worth a shot.

It just has to be someone that the general public will recognize. It'll be great to get as many good bands as we can, but we NEED someone famous to make headlines.

[Virginia Martin]

Me.. Three piece band can be heard here
http://cosmicvaudeville.ueuo.com
I wrote, produced, engineered, sang and played guitar on all the songs. The band I used went from first rehearsal to final take in eight weeks. The False Emperors Song, Circle Of Abuse and Dance O' Shades are quite cogent to this election cycle.

However I have a wicked acoustic set for this venue with some historical songs and Americana. Same set I did for the rock festival in Little Five Points that took over the counterculture mecca of the southeast under The R3volution banner for 14 hours on the 700th anniversary of the arrest of the Knights Templar (gold metal trusts). Didn't realize that till the day prior to the event.

We don't have to fill up all the slots right away, of course.
I think that numbers like 700k and 1million are way high.

I'd be more concerned about diluting the political impact by
having other political groups.

If Radiohead plays, other big groups will also play.
If Radiohead and a whole bunch of big groups play,
and it's a free show, people would think that Ron Paul must
be pretty cool if he can get all of these big groups to play a
concert for him.

I wouldn't worry about the media spin.

[Finn]

It would be so cool to get artists of all kinds of music style, it would show we're a wide variety of people.

I wish Paris (the rapper) would come! He seems to be aware of the state things are, very intelligent guy.

[Jamsie 567]

The US BomBs support Ron Paul their a very famous underground punk band known across the world.

Duane Peters legendary skate board and punk singer endorses Ron Paul. In 1977 he was also the first one to do a full circle loop on a skateboard.

[FatherBloopy]

For starters, I'll say that while this is a cool idea...to have bands, artists, who genuinely support Ron Paul and the liberty message...it shouldn't become the main focus or attraction for the march. I mean, imagine if The Beatles made an appearance during the 1963 March on Washington...it would be remembered as that historic moment when The Beatles performed for civil liberties, etc...catch my drift?

stuff like the blimp, money bombs...thats good for trying to get press attention.

Of course, in this day we live in, it may be expecting too much for the media and mainstream America to understand the concept and civil power we would be demonstrating. I don't think having Radiohead will change that to a positive.

For me, success would be attracting the huge numbers being thrown out, but solely for the message that we want...NEED...to send Washington. We must show our numbers before its too late. Wish we could do this next weekend!!

With that said, I'd still love to perform with my group Father Bloopy www.myspace.com/fatherbloopy or www.fatherbloopy.com.
At our shows down here we do our bit to help spread the word...handing out dvd's or slimjims. Our material isn't necessarily political, few exceptions...but check us out =)


So I guess my final comments will be...let this not be something like Gore's pathetic and horrible concept of "Live Earth"

[Opiner]

I think the musicians that deserve to be invited are those that incorporate some truth in their songs. Paris and Michael Franti should be at the top of the list. Rage Against the Machine I think is another group that adds a different perspective to the frustration. So I think the musicians that contributed to our movement should be invited.

[warispeace]

Also another realistic possibility would be Phil Lesh + Friends....

Phil was the bass player for the grateful dead.....

He has played with John Mayer on New Years at the warfield in San Francisco....if there's any hope that John Mayer might play.

.
I would love to see Phil and Friends play at the Freedom March! I am a long-time GD follower, went to 300 or so shows, including many Phil & Friends shows. I was very upset when I found out about Hart and Weir being Grove members. I also recently received an email saying they were all reuniting to play a show for Obama, and that really bummed me out. I deleted immediately... Do they not know, I thought, or are they involved? Do they believe the Obama's-against-the-war BS??? I really think Phil is a great person, regardless of what Weir and Hart may be involved in. Perhaps someone can get in touch with him and find out where he stands.

[hrdman2luv]

WILLIE & Friends(fingers crossed)


Excuse me? Willie Nelson? Isn't he supporting Barack Obama?

[RE10491]

I am expecting well over a million...

Hmm.. I sure do hope that many people come.

But so far (according to CNN) only 600,000+ people have voted for Ron Paul, but maybe there's a chance that a million people could come- seeing as how pretty much half of the country hasn't voted yet.


But if this thing doesn't happen AFTER school is over I'm afraid that all the people we're expecting to come wont be there. Because there are lots of families that wont be able to attend because of work + the ones that have to take care of their kids in school.

That's why I hope they do this thing during the summer, or at least spring break.



Also..

Excuse me? Willie Nelson? Isn't he supporting Barack Obama?
From what I know, he supports Ron Paul..

[sratiug]

I don't know who he supports, but Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad has a history of writing political / anti-war songs back to the vietnam era. At 19:30 into the video on his site he says that there should be no hyphenated Americans, just Americans living free. Earlier he talks of converting Frank Zappa to be pro-2nd amendment. His latest album's featured song is "For the people", and it hits hard at the state of our country. He also sings as well as ever.

http://www.markfarner.com/

[Finn]

Please people, read through this thread because it has been said at least once already that Willie Nelson was a Kucinich supporter. I'm not sure if he would like to come or if the right-left paradigm is enough to keep him away. He has said he thinks Ron Paul is a good guy but seemed quite hesitant to endorse him or anything.

People should really learn to see through the imaginary left-right paradigm, and also us talking crap about the "leftists" does no good. In fact it is one of the reasons that holds us back.

Man I wish we were independent.

[Larry Lee]

My understanding is that Ron Paul is against Group Speak. That is he is against labeling people and discussing them as a group instead of the individuals that we really are. All Republicans don't believe the same thing. All Independents don't believe the same thing. All Democrats, Communists, Federalists, Constitutionalist,.....just don't believe the same things. So the higher idea is to stop thinking in terms of groups. Each of us IS independent.
Larry
Freedom is to be shared with everyone and not forced on anyone.

Well yes, of course that would be ideal, but as long as Ron Paul insists on staying in the (corrupt two party system) republican party when all it does is hurt us it is very hard to keep fighting for individualistic values. And the number of people who dismiss us just because we are the republicans is very disheartening. It doesn't seem to matter what we think, it's automatically bad.

Sorry, this is OT.

Way back near the beginning of this thread, someone mentioned Arlo Guthrie. Does anyone know if he's been contacted about appearing at the march? Since someone coined this as a r3VOLtionstock then Arlo definately should be there, considering he appeared at the original Woodstock.

I don't know how many people are aware of this, but Ron Paul's favorite song is "Alice's Restaurant." Also, Arlo Guthrie supports Ron Paul. It would be perfect if he agreed to appear at the march to sing "Alice's Restaurant."

I saw all the teenies talking about this band a few years ago.

Hey guys, you are all awesome, and inspiring!!!
This event has the potential to draw in so many people from all walks of life, that have never considered voting, and even more important, who never thought they had a voice about the concerns we all have for our future.

I'm glad you are considering some of the older bands, whose followers are those older people that we need to get the message to.

Has anyone thought of how & where the stages will be set up for the musicians? Are there places for this? I'm not familiar with the DC area, but some of you involved in the guts of this are, right?

Another thought is having musicians and speakers at both ends of the march path, and even along the path. What an awesome opportunity to also take donations for the movement/campaign!

I haven't seen any posting on the above, so thought I would throw it out there for consideration.

Kudos to you all!!!!!

[JimInNY]

Arlo Guthrie? That would be great...

"A lot of freeks! Liberty freeks!"

[P Campbell]

Also as far as celebrities speaking/appearing...

Drew Carey is a libertarian and donated to Ron's campaign.

Also what about Nolan Ryan, the pitching legend!! He campaigned on behalf of Dr. Paul in Texas in the mid-90's!

Love Drew Carey!

[P Campbell]

...what about Selfish Cunt? I'd pay practically anything to see Ron Paul introduce them (and the subsequent performance).

Not something I'd really care to see.

[P Campbell]

invite mike huckabees band

Huck's Summer of Love:rolleyes: I'm thinking we'd never be able to tear him away from the mic.

[NEPA_Revolution]

I am saying it again. Smash Mouth!!!!!

[richardfortherepublic]

Too bad Tim Leary isn't alive. :(

[Geronimo]

I haven't gone through all 11 pages, but has anyone thought about asking Midnight Ride (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=214800694) from Boston?

[DaveGarber1975]

I see that libertarianism.com has a list of folks (including musicians) who have expressed a belief in libertarian philosophy, although not necessarily support for Ron Paul. They are...

* Robbie Fulks
* Paul Marshall (Strawberry Alarm Clock)
* Melanie
* Mojo Nixon
* Neil Peart (Rush)
* John Popper (Blues Traveler)
* Jimmie Vaughan
* Johnny Walker (Soledad Bros.)
* Dwight Yoakam
* Joe Young (ANTiSEEN)

You can view the page that this list appears on here (http://www.theadvocates.org/celebrities.html).

[eOs]

I think we're straying off topic here. Overall, it's going to deter us from the true message. While it's great to have fun listening to awesome bands play all day. Who's going to want to leave a Willie Nelson concert to go march up to the White House? I think there should be a couple low-key bands that heavily support Dr. Paul there so this march doesn't become a hippie-beer drinking fest.

[NEPA_Revolution]

LOL at Hippie-beer drinking fest. You are right though

[richardfortherepublic]

Has anyone considered Nine Inch Nails(Trent Reznor)? I know I know... the man that wrote that song in 1994 that said 'I wanna fuck you like an animal'. I used to be a really big fan of his, but I just discovered the Beatles a few months ago... hahaha..

I do realize some of his work is really, err, dark, aggressive, loud and electronic.


His last album, 'Year Zero' had a very Revolution type theme to it. It was also released around the time Ron started to run.


WIKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_%28album%29

"Even though the fictional story begins in January 2007, the timeline of the album and alternate reality game mentions historical events, such as September 11 attacks and the Iraq War. From there, fictional events lead to worldwide chaos, including Bioterrorism attacks, the United States engaging in nuclear war with Iran, and the elimination of American civil liberties at the hands of the fictional government agency The Bureau of Morality. Regardless of being fictional, a columnist of The Hartford Courant commented, "What's scary is that this doesn't seem as far-fetched as it should, given recent revelations about the FBI's abuse of the Patriot Act and the dissent-equals-disloyalty double-speak coming out of Washington in recent years."[27] The "recent revelations" he referred to was the Justice Department's inspector general revealing abuses of the Act by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[28]"


just an idea....

[Geronimo]

Anyone contacted Arlo Guthrie yet?

[Focus Liberty]

Where's Arlo Guthrie and Barry Manilow???!!!

Soledad Bros. broke up over a year ago. Johnny has a new band, Cut-in-the-hill Gang. I've known Johnny since he was 15. Never talked politics with him. I had no idea he was a Libertarian. I always assumed he leaned left. Just goes to show... never assume.

[goat farmer]

I can say Joe Young from Antiseen has run for office as Liberatarian before... oh yeah and their band is KICK ASS!!

[DaveH]

Arlo Guthrie? That would be great...

Guthrie would be great.
Dr. Paul said Alices Restaurant was one of his favorite songs.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=5_7C0QGkiVo To hear him do Alices Restaurant.

[BCalla]

If interested this band is open supporter of Ron Paul.

Someone should ask Aimee Aleen to play. :)

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=16881576

Check out her song and video for Ron Paul Revolution. :)

[juanvaldez]

How about Derek Webb? He is the lead singer of Cademon's Call.

[ShaneC]

I'll second the above request for NIN.

I'll also add in "Tori Amos" - who speaks of the "Maddness of King George" on her latest album.

KMFDM - whose tracks over the years include "Not In My Name", "A Drug Against War", WWIII, etc.

Ministry - Al Jourgenson is a long time study of American history; anti-establishment, but I'm not sure he's rooting for, so.......

[Hiki]

You're going to need some bigger names. I've never heard of the bands now on the list. At least you can try to get bands like Rush to play, I know they support the message.

[WolfRaven]

i think tori amos would be great

[WolfRaven]

How about Serj Tankian? He did a song called "The Unthinking Majority"

[sockmonkey70@yahoo.com]

I third NIN and Tori Amos. I might have a contact to get in touch with Trent Reznor. Let me see what I can do.

[parocks]

I got a confirm on A Utopian Skyline
http://myspace.com/autopianskyline

They're a good band, they played Ron Paul Bash in Harrisburg, PA in December.

[Don Stillwagon]

Post the date of the event you are trying to organize on every further post. It will cut down on confusion

[notcarljung]

i fourth tori amos and NIN.

though, I think reznor's a liberal. but yeah, someone contact him if ya can. ;)

[Acala]

How about Melanie Safka.

She was at Woodstock - a great anti-war protest - and she is, by her own description, a "total libertarian".

[George_Redner]

4-15-8 POKER FACE (http://www.pokerface.com) playing their song FREEDOM
in Wash, DC on the West lawn of the Capitol Grounds
for the granny warrior held Tax Day Rally
http://youtube.com/watch?v=KDbr6Xzm2Qw

[Gadsden Flag]

I guess it's just me, but having musicians play there seems to lower the maturity level a few notches.

[George_Redner]

Were you too old for the 60s Revolution when it was happening then too?
GR

[4RP08inKCMO]

John Mayer? I saw a youtube of him looking kind of drunk yelling about how great ron paul was. Lets get in touch with that guy! How cool would that be...........

So any more ideas on how we could get an answer from him?

Also, apparently Marc Scibilia has not been formally invited to perform. Is there anyone responsible for organizing the musicians?


I guess it's just me, but having musicians play there seems to lower the maturity level a few notches.

Ron Paul said we should have musicians perform there.

[SweetMona]

If we want millions of people to come on July 12th then we gotta ask couple well-known celebrities who supports Ron Paul. This will be a great way to promote. If we inform people that Aimee Aleen and Enimen are coming to sing then I guarnettee the March and Capitol Hill will be totally packed with millions and millions! We gotta send them an invitation. I'm glad Marc Scibila's confirmed to come and we should have a good variety of musicians for EVERYONE of any age, race, religion, language!

[ronpaulhawaii]

Has anyone [thought of/contacted/know] any Fife and Drums, for the actual March part of this shindig?

[flames2dust77]

Fugazi is from DC :D :eek:

Right?

omghaaax. how awesome if Fugazi played. Ijust want to hear "waiting room" live. lol

[Gin]

What about asking Steve Dore???

[Ron Doggett]

I can say Joe Young from Antiseen has run for office as Liberatarian before... oh yeah and their band is KICK ASS!!

That would be great to see Antiseen in concert an added plus for me and my style of entertainment.
However I wouldn't go haywire over to many groups. I love the idea of Revolutionary fife and drums leading the march too.
The march itself and the main speech by Paul must be the center stage and should consume the majority of time, party afterwards.

[silvermarks]

I'm going to try to get arlo gutrie's interest . Old shool protester , ever heard of Alices Restarant ? Ron Paul has mentioned that he likes him . All you young people that never heard of it , take a listen !!!!!! download it, listen and you'll see how it fits in !!!!!!!! 2,000,0000 singing a bar of Alices Restarant , It'd be fricken awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[banemaler]

I would think we could get a decent array of punk acts. I'm thinking something along the lines of Anti-Flag. Their last album was vehemently against the war and the Bush establishment. Some really good songs on that album.
A huge group that would do wonders for this march would be Muse. I remember about a year ago the lead singer wore a t-shirt with Terrorstorm written on it and he encourage all his fans to Google the video when they got home. I'm pretty sure they are an English group but they tour the states a lot and if they are Alex Jones supporters they would fit right in with the freedom movement. Plus they are very popular right now. Worth a shot right?

[banemaler]

http://www.lovinrevolution.org/beta/?q=resistance_to_empire

A friend of mine that I met at an anti-war rally. He actually was in Iraq and other places in the Middle East. This guy is an incredible hip hop artist. I remember thinking how amazing his album was but he seems to pursue other forms of activism. If we really want to make this a wide open revolution not all about Ron we need to find people like Joe who are great freedom fighters.

[silvermarks]

I like Willie Nelson and John Mayer . I was thinking also, maybe try to get ahold of Arlo Guthrie. He could do Alices Restaurant . For those that never heard it , its kind of a old school protest with some comic thrown in . I also read somewhere that Ron Paul likes his music. I'm not in the music buisnness but I'm sure he's not hard to get ahold of . Just a thought !

[3feetup]

hi, my wife & i play as a 2 piece band (guitar/drums/vocals) called "3 feet up" and we're gonna be up there for the march anyway, so we'd love to use our talents while we're there! hear our music & see our live videos at http://www.myspace.com/3feetup .

[silvermarks]

I was wondering when we will have some definite answers on who will be playing ? I am praying there will be at least one or two big name performers. That could be a huge tool to get people to attend the march !! I'm starting to get people interested. But we need the music to help get people involved. If any info is available PLEASE POST

[SweetMona]

Seconded!
I would suggest Aimeen Allen and Enimen, they made great song videos about RP/Revolution!!!! Did anyone from Revolution March Committee send them an invite? How will all this process work?

In 1994, I was at Captiol Hill and Cindy Lauper was invited to sing there. It was a huge hit, packed and CHAMP!! Never forget her green hair, was my idol in 85's, LOL!

[seeds_of_blessing_band]

What about Green Day or Dispatch. Both great bands that have social conscious lyrics.

[silvermarks]

I just contacted Arlo Gutrie through the website arlo.net . If anyone else could contact him on the possibility of him playing that would be great ! The more e-mails the better . I also left contact info. So we'll see if I get any response.

[SrA_Brown]

Yes!

They could both come with just their acoustic guitars.

It would remind everybody of Bob Dylan playing in protest in DC some forty years ago!



Speaking of one dude up there with an acoustic guitar, I'd be more than happy to bring mine! I know several of the dylan protest songs "times they are a changin'" etc.... could throw in some Marley "won't you help to sing these songs of freedom"
Just a thought. let me know if I could do something like this, I'd love to!!!

also, i just saw that Mayer is playing a show in maryland the day after the march!

[SrA_Brown]

How about Derek Webb? He is the lead singer of Cademon's Call.

THUMBS UP FOR DEREK WEBB.... he's an incredible intellectual as well as singer/songwriter. he's also a big dylan fan...

[Havax]

Angels & Airwaves would be excellent, look at the youtube video in my comment, perfect song for our movement. Also youtube the song "The War" by them. John Mayer would be good, there's a video of him on youtube where he defends Ron Paul...someone should contact him.

[cyborcat]

I talked to a musician friend of mine, her name is Robyn Smiley.She has a beautiful voice and a great back-up group! Got here to listen and contact her directly!

She truely wants to come and share her gift!:=) P.S. Her recording on myspace don't do her voice justice!

What about These Bands

1. Rage Against The Machine
2. Public Enemy
3. Beastie Boys
4. Solo Artist: Bright Eyes:D

I'm sure they would sign 'em right up if they agreed

[jonhowe]

I'd look into the band State Radio. They're pretty big (playing Bonnaroo this year), and EVERY song they do is political. They even have an Anti-CIA song!
This is their best:

[yaz]

i play the piano and sing but i'm not sure if i'd want to at the march. pm me if anyone is interested.

[g1rlg0ne]

Will there be a stage for DJs? You know, techno/dnb/house etc...I might be able to swing it...

we have many freedom fighter songs!!
Live free or die,
Consise

[SnappleLlama]

I'm going to have to agree with the people who mentioned Fugazi. Yes, Fugazi, Fugazi, Fugazi (even though they're on an indefinite hiatus). Perhaps Ian MacKaye is interested? That would be huge...plus, they're D.C. natives.

[Deborah K]

Folks, we can't have very many bands at this event. We were told that a concert type of environment would be shut down. However, our Production Manager, Michael V. came up with a really great idea! How bout the grassroots contact their favorite bands and ask them to schedule appearances at the local night clubs and other venues in the area? We'll promote their appearances in our programme and that way people can go see their favorite bands and party down after the event.

Thoughts?
