Rock Against Bush, Vol. 2

In a moment very simular to when Bruce Springsteen told President Reagan to stop using his song "Born in the USA" on the campaign trail, Foo Fighters lead singer David Grohl is fighting back against Bush using a foo fighters song at his rallies. Like many musicians this election year, Grohl has become more public with his political views, recently spending a week on the campaign trail with Senator John Kerry, in response to President Bush's usage of Foo Fighters music at his political rallies.

"I don't give a shit if President Bush likes my band," says Grohl. "I just don't want him using my music at his campaign rallies. So rather than sit back and watch, I took action . . . not as Mr. Foo Fighter, not as Mr. Nirvana, not as Mr. Rock Star . . . just an American citizen from Springfield, VA, who wrote those songs with an acoustic guitar and a notebook and a pen in his basement. Sing those songs, which are supposed to represent love, and hope, and compassion, and inspiration, and truth for a person that I 'personally' believe represents all of those things."

"I've never done an acoustic set by myself," Dave Grohl announced as he took the stage of Hollywood's Henry Fonda Theater last night for a show to benefit the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry.

Grohl, like Tenacious D and Liz Phair, who both also performed, was in fine spirits at the $150-per-ticket fundraiser (there was also a $500 a head VIP ticket), which turned into a celebration of the announcement earlier that day that Kerry had picked North Carolina Senator John Edwards as his running mate.
