I'm going ahead and calling it now, the concert series of the summer is going to be Obama and his traveling roadshow. With Arcade Fire, Wilco, Dave Matthews, and Bright Eyes already having played shows for him in the primaries you can count on them to already be on the bill, traversing the country, exciting the kiddies everywhere. But the real Magic comes from the recent backing of Bruce Springsteen. As Bruce stated on his website on Monday "He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for the past 35 years...Over here on E Street, we're proud to support Obama for President." In 2004 he played 33 shows for John Kerry so I think it's safe to say you can expect a similar schedule this time around. He's also got the endorsements of Nas, Ted Leo, Common, Jay Z and REM he could call on to help. Only thing he needs now is U2 (you can't save the world without Bono, ask American Idol and Al Gore) and of course 'The Coug'. I think we're looking at a tour for the ages here folks!
