In this presidential election year, partisan politics have ruled the roost. But the Grammy Foundation plans to buck that trend by bringing live shows to both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

First on deck is the Dems’ gathering, which starts this Monday, Aug. 25. The Grammy Foundation announced this week that to accompany the convention in Denver, Colorado, the organization will have a concert in the city featuring performances by Grammy-nominated rockers Daughtry and Everclear, as well as the Flobots, a Denver-based band that combines alternative rock and hip-hop.

The four-day Republican National Convention starts on Sept. 1 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On Sept. 2 The Recording Academy will host “The Songwriters Circle: The Songs We Love” in Minneapolis. Grammy-winning songwriter Brett James, who wrote the song “Jesus Take the Wheel,” recorded by Carrie Underwood, will perform along with rising star Greg Laswell, another singer-songwriter.

2. "Jesus, Take the Wheel"

The first time my daughter and I heard that, we were in the car at a stop light. We looked at each other and cracked the fuck up.

:rofl:

That has to be one of the stupidest, most over-wrought songs ever written.

3. I thought that was a joke for the longest time.

I heard people mention the song, but I thought it was a spoof title.

4. FLOBOTS!!!

We win the music round.

5. I read somewhere that Daughtry is playing in St. Paul as well.

Something about not wanting to appear partisan. Because you know those republicans really love rock music, what with the evil messages found when you play the album backwards on their record player. :crazy:
