So who is most likely to bombard us with political speeches when all we really want is rocking and raging?
You?
As long as the Flamings Lips don't show up and completely derail their already late set by ranting about politics forever and ever like they did last time. In between the political speeched and that $#&%ing bubble...
That year was off the charts r.e. politicizing. I mean, you'd expect some bands to do it (Beasties, etc). But even tiny bands from the UK were cutting into sets to tell us who to vote for.
I still think the best politically-charged set was Massive Attack a few years ago.
Mabe a former candidate will show up like Duncan Hunter, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jim Gilmour, Evan Bayh, Tommy THompsan, Tom Tancreado or the ghost of John Connelly.
