    Not that Obama needs any more help as Romney's sinking his own ship.

    And I'd prefer to see a day when political fundraising is a thing of the past, because we'll have 100% public campaign financing.

    But if Romney's got billionaires giving him millions of dollars, Obama fleecing a few rich liberals for $20,000 a head isn't worth complaining about. Hope they like ukulele music.

    I think most people change over the course of 20 years. Don't you feel that ALL individuals do?

    Why is Ed not allowed to change over the course of his life? Everyone is trying to keep him in the mold of the person he was 20 years ago. I think it's unfair to try to cast someone in stone like that. Fans trying to force him to stay the same person forever.

    What a horrible burden to place on a creative person!

    $20,000 a pop, godfather. 20 grand a seat for the obama fundraiser. who the fuck goes to these events? not one swingin dick i know could or would attend such a disaster. in fact, if i were holding 10 billion dollars this is the very last event i would attend. for 20 grand i could shoe many shoeless kids. for 20 thousand bucks i could build a school in africa. i bet 20 grand could drill wells for villages that need clean water.

    pay obama 20 grand, eat chicken or steak, listen to a few speaches & listen to ed go to town.... fascinating and all but to me 20 thousand dollars could be well used elsewhere

    :clap::clap::clap:
    very well said...

    I think there's a misunderstanding....when I posted "forget the ploitics guy's and enjoy the music" I in NO WAY ment just drop $20,000 on dinner and a show with Nobama and Crew...
    what I mean is ....just what I said "enjoy the music" and don't let politics change your taste in music or bands you listen to....$20k ohhhh fuck noooooo. I wouldn't pay $20k to see Buddy Holly come back from the dead and sing Oh Boy ! ..... :think: welll yeah I might to see Buddy Holly :lol:

    Godfather.

    I agree about enjoy the music...buy I have very little respect for person a who drops this kind of coin down on a politician...I'm sure they do help in other ways...but sorry I have no respect for politicians and this is why...each side is just trying to buy the election and their rich friends are helping them.

    I really dont see the tie in to songs such as Green Disease with this fundraiser. I would assume Ed just sees the republican party as a threat to the USA and/or he just supports Obama...so he is lending his support to see that the candidate he favors gets reelected. If you're passionate about a cause, dont you support it however you can?

    I agree Justam, we have changed over the years I KNOW I don't have the same mindset I once had 20-30 years ago. I now relalize the same with my muscian friend Michael Franti and we as fans can't change the way they do things or once did some years ago. The one thing we can do deal with our selves and our own inner beliefs.

    One of the reasons Plant might be so low on the list is due to him selling some of the songs he's written in the early 80's. Sell those rights and you don't get any continuing residual monies once they have been sold. This after he refuses to reform Led Zeppelin to tour with John bonham's son on drums. They do have a dvd coming out of their concert they played a few years ago.

    I thought Springsteen would be worth way more...but so far he really doesn't gouge the fan at box office...saw him on his latest tour and didn't pay more than 50 after taxes and service fees and don't think any tickets were on sale for more than 100-120.

  • If Eddie was to be at some independent rally, people on here would say he's throwing his vote away and what a tool he is. Then if he was at some rep rally, they'd say he is a war lover and waht a loser he is. So here we are at the same guy and maybe party (remember you yanks you get a whole two choices, which makes Ed have to choose one ;))that he supported last time and still he is a loser. I guess the guy can't win. But wait, what would his fans think of this. I bet he dosen't really care.
