Another alleged GOP backer, IS NOT, Foghat not supporting Bush--WHEW!

[wndycty]

If you asked me to name one Foghat song I would be stumped, however I think this is funny. It seems while on the one hand the GOP and those on the right criticize all of the Hollywood backing of the Democrats, they desperately attempt to line up their own celebrity backers and in many cases their claims are proved wrong (so far Mandy Moore, Andre 3000 and now Foghat). This is too funny.

===========================================
August 27, 2004 -- YOU can make a lot of cracks about Foghat, the '70s arena rockers best known for "Slow Ride" — but don't suggest they're backing President Bush. U.S. News & World Report mistakenly reported that the band would be joining Randy Travis and Bobby Womack on a pro-Bush concert tour designed to counter the anti-Bush rock roadshow featuring Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne. "I have no idea where they got that," Foghat drummer Roger Earl tells PAGE SIX. "Foghat are not supporters of George Bush, and we're certainly not going on the road with him." In fact, Earl seemed downright smitten with the John Kerry-favoring Springsteen tour. "I'd like to see Bruce Springsteen and Bonnie Raitt for president. We'd go on tour with them in a minute!" The Long Island resident also offered up Foghat's services to entertain the troops overseas. "We support the troops 110 percent," he said. "We'd love to go over there and play for them, but no one has asked us yet." OK, we get it — you're available!

1. Bonnie Raitt for President

now I like that!

[drhilarius]

2. Andre 3000?!

Who the hell said that!? He's huge anti-Bush.

on edit: how bad is it to be repudiated by fucking Foghat?

3. Member of the group Outkast

and Bill Maher is using him on his show as kind of the poster boy and roving correspondent for the disenfranchised, hip hop demographic. I haven't heard him say anything of real substance yet, do you have a link? I do like the music!

[drhilarius]

8. He's a member of HSAN...

and judging by their objectives...well, I doubt they're endorsing Bush.

6. Here you go!

The GOP always says they don't need celebs, yet they lie to make it seem like that have more celebrity support than they do.

Andre: VSOP, not GOP

Though newspaper reports place hip-hop star Andre 3000 at the GOP's opening bash at the Roseland on Sunday, the rapper and fellow OutKast member Big Boi are also scheduled to host a party for the Cognac Navan in Miami.

"I can confirm 100% that both members of OutKast will be hosting the Navan launch party in Miami this Sunday night," said Navan spokesman Kiwan Anderson. "Besides, Andre 3000 is actually a registered Democrat and he attended the Democratic National Convention last month."

18. THIS is the thing we need to reinforce. That it is an INSULT to be called

a Republican. We need to hammer home that Republicans tend to be immoral lowlifes and anyone with good morals and ethics would not want to be associated with them. It's true and it would demolish the mythology of their BS "family values"

I loved Foghat. They were right up there with Kiss and Aerosmith in my books. Glad to see that they still have their senses.
Thanks for this nice additive to the Chords for Change.
