--- Quote from: Waitin For The DJ on October 09, 2004, 06:44:42 AM ---The thing with the whole Bush thing is that I feel as if many people have just jumped on the bandwagon. I reading an interview with Dead Prez, and they summed it perfectly by saying that even if everyone does vote for Kerry is that suddenly going to make everything better, no probably not. They were saying that you need to educate people on how the system works rather than just trying to blindly lead them into vote Bush out of office. They need to know why they should vote for Kerry (or Nader even), and that the effect of doing so probably isn't going to be a large as they expect, considering all the hype that musicians have made about Bush being voted out.

--- End quote ---


That's why they should watch the debate. The artists can say they like this guy and not like that guy, and even give reasons, but the most important thing they can acheive is generating interest and getting people to pay attention. I wouldn't choose a side just because Springsteen says so. That would be stupid. But IF Springsteen or Eminem can get people interested enough to pay attention, then that is a good thing.


Will Kerry make things better? Who knows, but one thing is apparent and that is Bush particulary likes going to war, and people do die. Kerry says he'll do it better. That doesn't mean he will, but I feel it's worth it to take a chance on him. If I were American I'd vote for Kerry, because he is the only person that stands a chance of beating Bush. That is what most of the artists probably feel, and that is why they'd pick Kerry over Nader or whoever else.

Something tells me that if it were a black guy to beat Bush, then Dead Prez would behind him no matter what, so long as they don't think he's white washed. I don't care much for Dead Prez and their political opinions. Neither should anyone else, with reghards to any artist. The people should watch the debates and do their own homework, then decide who they want in office.
