About 350 tickets roughly have been sold since the announcement of Sarah Evans performing at the Rally. I cannot believe they have been this sluggish since this announcement. I thought for sure we would have been over at least 1500 by now. Anybody know if they are promoting this event locally in Mn/st p?

If we invite Eminmen to perform (I know everyone is not a huge fan of him) then all seats would be sold out by now! Why don't CFL look into this?

Eminmen is the best choice because it'd give our list of performers a good balance, Rock, Country, Rap and other well known advocates of liberty and US Constitution!

Should have kept the smaller venue, and it would have been sold out.
I am surprised more die-hard RP fans have not either raised the funds or maxed out the credit cards to be there at this historic event.

A lot of local people will attend too at the last minute hopefully.

I wanted the tickets to be sold out too in few hours of news hitting press.

EMINEM LYRICS

Mosh Ringtone Complimentary "Mosh" Ringtone Mosh Ringtones


"Mosh"

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all...
It feels so good to be back..

I scrutinize every word, memorize every line
I spit it once, refuel, re-energize and rewind
I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind
I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time
It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as
I say to fight, you take it as I'mma whip someone's ass
If you don't understand, don't even bother to ask
A father who has grown up with a fatherless past
Who has blown up now to rap phenomenon that has
Or at least shows no difficulty multi-task
And in juggling both perhaps mastered his craft
Slash entrepreneur who has helped launch a few more rap acts
Who's had a few obstacles thrown his way through the last half
Of his career typical manure moving past that
Mr. kisses ass crack, he's a class act
Rubber band man, yea he just snaps back

[Chorus:]
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)

All the people up top on the side and the middle
Come together lets all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, Fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home (c'mon)

[Chorus]

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's tryina tell us something,
Maybe this is God just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster, this coward,
That we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head noddin'
How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists
Now this is our final hour
Let me be the voice in your strength and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply by six...
Teen million people, Are equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech
Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you know why,
Cause I told you to fight.

[Chorus]

And as we proceed,
To Mosh through this desert storm,
In these closing statements, if they should argue
Let us beg to differ
As we set aside our differences
And assemble our own army
To disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction
That we call our President, for the present
And Mosh for the future of our next generation
To speak and be heard
Mr. President, Mr. Senator
Do you guy's hear us...hear us...[laughing] (Hailie)

Has Eminem--the poster child of American disenchantment--become the new face of activism?

those who are accustomed to Eminem's gay-bashing, gun-toting antics will hardly believe their eyes, as they watch his new video in which the top-selling rapper and his posse file into the voting booths, the words "Vote Tuesday, November 2" fading into the screen.

"Mosh" could well be one of the most overtly political pop music videos ever produced, and is easily the most direct anti-Bush cultural statement since Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Although the video debuted just a week before the election, it could have an unprecedented cultural and political impact, coming from the top-grossing rap star in America, and one of the seminal pop icons of the last decade.

The largely animated video begins with a suited Eminem reading a book--"My Pet Bush"--upside down to a classroom full of children. Moments later, however, Eminem shifts from his usual mode of sarcastic critique to lyrics reflecting sincere political passion.

We see him shadowboxing in front of a wall plastered with newspaper headlines such as "Bush Knew," "Bush Declares War," "Congress OKs $87 Billion" and "Blechtell" [sic]. We see a soldier coming home from the war, only to find his wife holding out a letter stating "Private Kelly, You Have Been Re-Assigned to Iraq." When the soldier reads the notice, his eyes shift from shock, to fear, to outrage, as he emphatically mouths "Fuck Bush." Later, we see a woman opening an eviction notice while her children watch Bush talking about "tax cuts" on television.

"Mosh"'s brooding beat elevates the song's sense of urgency. "Let the President answer on high anarchy/Strap him with an AK-47, let him go/Fight his own war/ Let him impress daddy that way/No more blood for oil, we got our battles to fight on our own soil," he shouts.

As Eminem and his battalion of urban foot soldiers march through the rain-soaked streets, there is a sense that an epic battle is imminent. He rallies the troops--"let us...set aside our differences, and assemble our own army, to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our President"-- but his army eventually shuns violence for the voting booths.

Critics--especially from the right--will dismiss "Mosh" as a shrewd attempt to boost record sales by capitalizing on the tide of anti-Bush populism. Yet, Eminem has truly made a leap with "Mosh". In his first four albums--despite pointing out the absurdities of American politics and culture--his mantra, ultimately, was "I just don't give a fuck." Never before has he advocated for political change. Even if the song's late arrival gives it a limited impact on the vote, Eminem's pronounced political shift should send shivers through the largely unchecked right-wing establishment.

It's not even listed in the news section of her official website or on her homepage. You
have to click on the "more events" button on her homepage to see the rally listed with
her other future engagements.

Too bad young people don't vote in large enough numbers to sway an election.

Some of us are coming up and will buy at the box office the day of the event just to avoid filling the coffers of the Ticketmaster rip off artists!

Could Sara Evans fill that place by herself? Or does she only have 350 fans in that area?

"you'd better hurry and buy a ticket - we're holding out to give the Paul supporters a chance because when we announce the name the tickets will sell fast"... uh.. yeah.

Probably should've went with a rock band since this is taking place in the Twin Cities and not to mention that the majority of the crowd is going to be 18-30 years of age.

Seriously she has got to be one the hottest women on the planet, too bad she married or is engaged to former Alabama quarteback Jay Barker. Oh well at least he played in SEC.

I just bought my tickets this morning... looks like it's pretty well sold out. Nothing on the floor or main level, not even singles. Just upper level is left.

I did a search for 8 tickets just for the hell of it, and the best it came up with was Section 207 Row T.

The main problem is that Sara Evans hasn't done much for ticket sales.
If it's because her fans don't know about it - well someone better tell them..
how about a TV ad?

Ususally these venues have to hold out tickets for door sales for locals.

Rumor has it that Eminem wanted to perform a free concert at the revolution march. Unfortunately he was turned away for some reason... something like too many people would show up.

What? He was turned away? WHY? He made a music video about Ron Paul and Revolution March. The one with black hood and white face. It was a CHAMP!
Now he doesn't want to perform at CFL rally just because ? Flaky? Is he being threatened by secret police or what? Look at Aimee Allen, Sara Evans, Marc Scibilia, Rocky Lynne and others, they are taking the risk to peform for us freedom lovers. Eminem should come regardless... He is the last one to help balance out with all kinds of performers... (I don't know of any other internationally known Rap singer who roots for Ron Paul)

Yeah, rumor has it. Rumor has had a lot of things in this campaign. :rolleyes: Eminem? Seriously? Then we'd have a stadium full of teenagers expecting a rap concert. Not really the demographic we're going for.
