    …And NO, the rock star was NOT Barack Obama. Via the blogs:

    To the waiting time of…the speech of the presidential candidate….a second stage built on the musical framework programme to take place. The German Reggeasänger Patrice and the German pop band Reamonn 17.30 from occur there. Before and during the breaks, the British disc jockey Mantu.

    Snack and drink stalls are also up.

    Now we know what it takes to lure 200,000 Europeans to be in Barack-Star’s Photo-Opp: Free Concerts and Free Food!

    But was that reported in the US?

    Maybe you should send this to the rightwing nutjob pundits who call him a celebrity for events like this if you really feel no one was there to see Obama.

    I bet a concert with U2, Coldplay, Madonna, and Metallica that had McCain speaking beforehand wouldnt draw more than 100 people until way into the first set of the first band.

    They were superimposed, by the same people who handled the Olympic opening ceremonies in Beijing.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
