Rock Royalty to Join Voices Against Bush With Fall Concerts

Rock Royalty to Join Voices Against Bush With Fall Concerts: "Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, R.E.M., Pearl Jam and a deep roster of other rock stars will unite for politically minded concerts this fall that will give voice to dissatisfaction with the Bush administration.
The all-star rock shows, which are expected to begin in October and target campaign swing states, are in the planning stage but were confirmed by half a dozen music industry sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Insiders disagree on the unifying rhythm of the celebrity coalition. Some say it is the promise of the John F. Kerry candidacy, but at least one emphasizes the fear of President Bush's reelection. 'There is a range of feeling about Kerry,' the source said, 'but a uniform belief that Bush must go.'"
