Joe the Guitarist
Barack Obama may attract the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and James Taylor, but not all rockers lean left. Aerosmith’s Joe Perry told the Boston Herald today that he’s supporting John McCain:
“We pretty much stay out of it, but seeing so many people come out for Obama, I just felt like … I might as well raise my hand for this side. …
“I’ve been a hardcore Republican my whole life. My mother and father drilled into me from the very start that if you work hard and be positive, you’ll get what you’re working for. I guess I’m living proof of that. …
“I’m an optimist. It ain’t over till its over. I think that he’s got a chance.”

I like Aerosmith. This lends itself to great lots of options for McCain theme songs.
If McCain wins, will they use this Aerosmith song?
Back in the Saddle
And if he loses, will they use this song?
Crying
Or perhaps?
“Dream On” would work? “Dream on, dream on, dream until your dreams come true….
McCain to Sarah: “I was crying when I metchu, now I’m tryin’ to forgetchu….”

Another one bites the dust.
MANCHESTER – Fred Bramante, a member of McCain’s New Hampshire Leadership Committee and a 2008 Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Convention today announced his support for Senator Obama’s Campaign for Change.

I like Aerosmith, but I’d rather have the Boss on my side.

I’m still waiting for the Wayne for McCain concert in Vegas. Wayne Newton is the biggest GOP powerhouse on the strip. You can bet on it!

#2 Republicanus Liberalus–though long thought to have passed from the scene with Jacob Javits– is alive and well in NH. I hear even R party megaLib Lincoln Chafee has climbed aboard the OBama parade float. Talk about reaching out across the aisle. Not!

Republicanus Liberalus is commonly just called a RINO.

Republicanus Liberalus happens to have also been Co-Chair of Gov. Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaign….

Perhaps “Johnny’s Got a Gun” would be good. But Barry would just say he was clinging to that and religion. And the other Johnny (Murtha) would call him an ignorant redneck. But only if he were a constituent.

OOOO! TJ, that’s a good one I overlooked.

Perry has a right to his preference. Lots of people think John McCain is a good man, even if they think him wrong.
Report comment to moderator
Yes we do. John McCain is a good man who should not be elected President.
On aged rock star endorsements, I just saw this over on Newser:
(Newser) – Peter Frampton is ticked that vandals in his GOP-leaning Cincinnati suburb keep stealing his Barack Obama lawn signs, he tells the Enquirer. The British-born naturalized US citizen wore an Obama shirt at his last local concert in protest, and has installed security cameras. “They are frustrating my attempt to use my First Amendment right to speech and political speech is supposedly the most protected,” the singer says.

“Adam’s Apple” is a good biblical Aerosmith tune. Side one, third song on “Toys in the Attic”.
Just make sure you lift the needle before the un-biblical “Big Ten Inch Record’!

It’s nice to know not everyone in the entertainment industry liens toward obedience to the Democratic platform. I didn’t think you could be a rock star and a Republican. What big brother Democrat let that one slide? Someone will probably run into his car or steal his guitars shortly.
The Democratic machine does not take kindly to entertainers that would present a non-partisan opinion to the general public that is supportive of Republicans. The Democrats need to maintain that “we vs. they” mentality with the American people. Entertainers that support Republicans don’t generally last too long without some negative headline or tragedy coming into their life. Pray for Joe Perry, seriously.

Not really. Groan. I tried so hard I overlooked the most obvious pun of them all: “Cheney’s Got a Gun.”

Marilyn Manson is another Republican rocker. And Kid Rock.

RPN, it is a gift and a curse. I see/hear puns and the like all the time. And they are often so unintentional. I accidentally say “McPalin” a lot. And the other day, I saw an “Obama Biden” sticker on someone’s car; however, my eyes tricked me for a split second (the names were close together, one on top of the other) and (I’m not kidding) by brain registered “Osama Bin Laden.” Honestly, there aren’t that many different letters.

RPN, I can’t believe I missed #12! Unbelievable! Peter Frampton lives in Cincinnati?!? That’s less than 2 hours from here! And I should be able to find his home; it’ll be the one with the missing Obama signs!
“O-bama, I love your way, everyday.
O-hio’s goin’ go your way, Tuesday.
‘Cause people have been voting for you night and day.”
By the last line, of course, I mean lots of people, some of them dead people, some of the cartoon characters, and most of them more than once.

TJ – “O-bama, I love your way…”
This is why I come here.
And for the ladies, of course.

TJ!
Ditto what Travis said
I’ll pay for your gas if you run by Frampton’s place and get caught stealing his signs on his new video surveillance system. You’ll be a youtube sensation!
Report comment to moderator
RPN, I’ll have to wait for tomorrow and dress for the occasion. Should I dress like the Frampton of the ’70’s (long hair) or the balding Frampton of today (like on the Geico commercial)?
Other questions: Will there be signs? And will you pay for my bail as well?
Is there any crime against placing signs in his yard? I could put an Alan Keyes sign there. Or Ralph Nader. Or maybe even Cynthia McKinney.
Nah, I’d arrest myself if I placed a McKinney sign in his yard. Some things just aren’t right in civilized society.
