Streaming audio link: 'Dead Heads for Obama'

This is not an endorsement.

Just a link ...

... to what many will consider yesterday's music, anyway.

Monday at 7:30 p.m. PST (which is 9:30 our time), Greateful Dead members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart (drummer Bill Kreutzmann is out of town) will play a (GOTV) Get Out The Vote concert for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in San Francisco. Drummer John Molo, keyboardist Steve Molitz, and guitarist Jackie Greene –- all of whom play with Lesh -– round out the lineup, according to Relix magazine, which started out as a Dead Heads' fan magazine and now covers the jamband scene.

The video website Iclips will stream a live simulcast via the Internet on www.iclips.net Monday night. Link here for information.

Later: For something perhaps a little more contemporary, link here to "Yes We Can" ... an Obama speech set to music by will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas ... and here for kind of a lame ABC News interview with will.i.am and Jesse Dylan, who directed the video.

It may be yesterday's music, but it has more appeal than most of today's :)

I have this show for download on my site if you're interested... Deadheads for Obama
