Obama is truly a uniter.<BR/><BR/>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=23943<BR/><BR/>Grateful Dead Reunite Monday for Obama<BR/>The battle to capture California's gray-haired ponytail vote may be over: The Grateful Dead -- Jerry, RIP -- is endorsing Barack Obama.<BR/><BR/>Not only that, the boys are reuniting for a one-off show Monday at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco for a GOTV rally. GOTV in this case means Get Outta The Van, the cops are coming.<BR/><BR/>We kid, we kid. We love the Dead. Everybody loves the Dead. Iko, iko. And the political spin on this, not that the Obama campaign has thought of it yet, is that Obama The Uniter is the only candidate who can reunite members of the Dead for their first show together since 2004. Yes, that's a stretch, but it's three days before Super Tuesday and everybody has long run out of decent spin material.<BR/><BR/>Tickets were sold out instantly, of course. C'mon, if you're reading about a Dead show on a political blog you're too far out of the Dead's loop to deserve tickets. But you don't have to sloth about the Warfield entrance looking for a miracle. You can watch it streamed live at www.iclips.net at 7:30 p.m. Left Coast time. The lineup: Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir will be joined by Jackie Greene, John Molo and Steve Molitz.Taxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258303108102219306noreply@blogger.com
