The music events surrounding the Democratic National Convention in August are starting to be revealed, including a planned Melissa Etheridge show at the Fillmore Auditorium.

Etheridge released her tour schedule Monday morning, including an Aug. 26 show billed as “Human Rights Campaign Event at the Fillmore.” The DNC will be in Denver Aug. 25-28 at the Pepsi Center.

Etheridge has long been an activist in Democratic causes, including contributing the song I Need to Wake Up included in Al Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

There's not enough popcorn,darn biofuels.

That’s nice; it should help them bring in the rare gay vote. And maybe Reverend Wright can give a sermon too.

[theDentist]

Swooning for Hillary, no doubt.

[Da Coyote]

Is the performance scheduled for before or after the dhimmis burn the convention center?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Okay...........so now the gay activists will be making a statement at the Dem. convention.

Does anyone else get the impression that the Democratic party wants to promote itself as the party of various far-left, out of mainstream causes and people?

~sigh~ It’s been many years now since I moved a bookshelf in front of the photo taken of me and Etheridge.

[GSWarrior]

Etheridge is a Gore groupie.

Big damn deal! I can’t imagine anyone who really cares.

No doubt joining Springsteen on the “Thoroughly Pathetic Has-Beens Struggling To Stay Relevant” Tour of 2008.

You are mean spirited.

Etheridge to sing for Dems,

[fish hawk]

The queer singing to the weird!

[subterfuge]

She reminds me of Chris Farley with long hair.

Apologies to the late Mr. Farley.

My repressed dyslexia thought this was going to be about Susan Estridge singing for the Dems! Thank God it was not!

“Human Rights Campaign Event at the Fillmore.”

Etheridge: We need more focus on Human Rights. We need to focus on...
Fan: What about oppression in Zimbabwe, Cuba and China?

Etheridge: I’m talking about global warming here

[kcvl]

I didn’t mean that towards you. That was meant for the Dems who think that skank means anything to anyone else.

It's apparent she's still unconscious.

“My repressed dyslexia thought this was going to be about Susan Estridge singing for the Dems! Thank God it was not!”

That sounds far more fun than Melissa Etheridge. At least Susan doesn’t seem to be a self-righteous harpy with no sense of humor. She at least laughs.

[Secret Agent Man]

Nothing like a lesbian singing love songs.

[NonValueAdded]

Yeah, there will be sweet irony when she's up on stage singing "somebody bring me some water, can't you see I'm burning alive" and really mean it.

>>>Nothing like a lesbian singing love songs.

Fans of Dusty Springfield, Laura Nyro, and Lesley Gore always thought that’s true.
