but it isn't the same. Having Kerry be introduced by a celeb, especially one who sings, is different than an independent tour by a band to drum up support.

I mean, Max Cleland is great, but imagine if Meg Ryan or Glenn Close were the introducer? Yeah, some people would come to see them, rather than Kerry and yeah, maybe they would overshadow Kerry in initial coverage. But, Jeebus, it would generate a LOT of media for smaller, local venues and get the attention of local press. And once you've got the bodies there, it's a lot easier to register and motivate 'em, rather than the "preachin' to the choir" thing.
