Swing State Tour w/ Springsteen + R.E.M.
 

So the LA Times finally leaked the plans for Bruce Springsteen and R.E.M.'s big October surprise tour of Swing States. Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews and others are also signing on.

I wonder if our band would entertain the idea of joining in.....

The idea of Lindsey getting together with R.E.M. again would be exciting


and Stevie with Roy Bittan.....

Arrrggggllllllllgggrrrrgglllllll.....

That's the sound of me salivating like Homer Simpson at the mere thought of this happening, no matter how remote the chances are.

Well...
 

I doubt this tour will play in Oklahoma since we are not a swing state.

Fleetwood Mac should sign on to this one...

One more thread that should be in Chit Chat. Why are these non-Fleetwood Mac topics being allowed to stay here?

And by the way, if Kerry still loses after getting all this help from Michael Moore, an anti-Bush book a week, and now even The Boss himself, well, then... he will qualify as a bigger loser than Al Gore, who finally seems to have acquired a spine four years too late.

Omigosh, I didn't know the Should Be Police had a narc here on the ledge!! :lol: I'll have to be more careful with my stash o' facts! :wavey:

I'm sorry, but remarks about police, sheriff departments, penitentiaries, paramilitary organizations and traffic cops will have to be moved to the Law Enforcement Forum. ;)

Hmm lemme try to make this thread Mac related somehow...lol

Ummm..."dont stop thinking about tomorrow.."

Sorry I got nothing!

Chris

Actually, the original post does fit in with this forum.
It's a legitimate question, or at the very least a wondering by the poster, which deals with the Rumours line-up (well, what we are all now calling the Rumours line-up, without Christine).......
I don't see a big problem. :shrug:

Stephanie :wavey:

Because The Ledge is fair and balanced? :laugh: I noticed when the Kerry Landslide thread took a "sliiiiiiiiiiide", it was "censored" to the chit chat forum. What's The Ledge coming to? :)

Because posting about a Swing State Tour W/Springsteen + REM has no relation to Fleetwood Mac aside from said thread starter mentioning how he/she would like Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey to sign on. It's another thread of political origin that should be discussed in an off topic forum, IMO. Sorry.

Please someone inform me what a "Swing State" is. :shrug:

a swing state is a state where the election will probably be decided this year.

There are a wopping 18 this year - states such as Ohio, Florida, Washington, Oregon - states where the candidates are neck and neck.

Michael Stipe, Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Dylan and others are organizing shows this fall to energize voters - they'll tour in these states where votes count the most.

Some other big bands have yet to be announced...

I thought we were all in agreement that this tour should END come September 14th :laugh:

I don't think it's that off-topic. I could seriously imagine Lindsey being interested in something like this. I think he is at a stage of his life where something like this would be fun to him and he would get a chance to possibly show of some new songs before he releases his new solo album in the fall of next year :laugh: ....aaaah we can wish, I don't necessarily want the mac becoming a political group but it would be cool to see them do something a bit more "activisty and out-there".
