Be Patriotic. Attend ‘National Anthem.’
Look, it’s the home stretch. We need to win in the fall if we’re to make progress on health care, the economy, jobs, sane foreign policy, Iraq, Afghanistan, the global climate crisis, women’s rights, civil rights, preserving the Constitution, stopping the torture policy, and to gets our childrens learning.
So, it’s time to go listen to some music.
I’ve bought my ticket (hint: it wasn’t the expensive seats but it weren’t the cheap seats neither), and am all set to head out this Friday to Boston and the New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall for “National Anthem,” the fundraiser organized and starring Blue Mass Group’s David Kravitz and Charley Blandy, along with other amazing singers and musicians. Even Mr. Lynne is making a cameo appearance where they need him to help with percussion in the orchestra.
The concert takes place this Friday, September 12, 2008 at 8:00 p.m., again, at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall at 290 Huntington Avenue, Boston. There’s a list of pieces on the program (subject to change). You can buy tickets in advance from the website (they use ActBlue) and it is strongly advised you do so, as it makes it easier for the organizers who are adhering to campaign finance rules. (If purchased at the door, I assume they will have to have people fill in all relevant data that you fill in when donating via the web, slowing down the line I’m sure.)
If you aren’t there, I will know about it, and you’ll never hear the end of it.
