Lineup set for anti-war concert NEW YORK, N.Y., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan will be the guest of honor at the "Bring 'Em Home" concert at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.
Among the performers scheduled to play March 20 are R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, Bright Eyes, Rufus Wainwright, Fischerspooner, Public Enemy's Chuck D, Devendra Banhart and Peaches, Billboard.com reported.
Sheehan will address the audience at the concert noting the third anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Billboard said.
Janeane Garafalo will broadcast her Air America Radio show "The Majority Report" live from the concert.
Money raised by the show will go to Iraq Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace.
She finally broke up with Herb?
A who's who list of self-obsessed artists.
They ought to call this Has-Beenspoloza.
what a collection of has-beens and losers.
They would have to pay me to watch any of them perform.
I'm already looking forward to the impression that Laura Ingraham does of Cindy's idiotic speaking voice.
"The Majority Report" !??
Majority of what, leftie socialist kooks ?
Has beens? More like 'never weres'.
I've heard of three of them and don't care for any of them.
"Among the performers scheduled to play March 20 are R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe"
"Shiny Happy People" "Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike, alright!? I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, ok! I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating people, alright!" Sit down and shut the hell up Michael! Don Henley's gonna tell me how to vote. I don't think so, ok? I got two words for Don Henley, Joe F***ing Walsh, ok!? Thanks for calling, Don! How long's your pony tail now? Ok!
...anyone wanna bet some cash goes to Air America because 1/2 of their budget goes to Franken
Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst) has got to be the worst of this lot. Why some people think he is a genius is beyond me.
I just want to know who is paying for all her travels.
"Has-Beenspoloza"
I never heard of any of these "entertainers". More like Never-was-polukas.
If Sheenan and these "Artists" care so much about our brave fighting men and women, why aren't they donating the proceeds to those Soldiers injured in Battle??
No doubt she'll do anything to get herself back in front of a camera again, so look for stage antics at this concert.
A who's who of people most of us never heard of.
You never heard of R.E.M. or Public Enemy?
Useless as a performer without the rest of his band.
Bright Eyes
Unlistenable crapweasel.
Rufus Wainwright
Gay singer/songwriter.
Fischerspooner
Talentless, enormous "performance art collective"
Public Enemy's Chuck D
Washed-up has-been. His scenes were cut from Anchorman, too.
Devendra Banhart
Singer/songwriter who's too "real" to actually write a coherent song.
Peaches
Ugly ex-stripper who raps about incest.
What an unendurable lineup. The audience will be punished far worse than most FReepers can imagine.
Good question!
