Barack Knows How To Throw A Party!
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is trying to keep things entertaining.
Performing this Thursday night at Obama's acceptance speech (at the big ol' stadium in Denver_ will be Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi!
Bon Jovi is said to perform two acoustic songs before Obama gives his speech.
The night will then be closed Springsteen.
The Boss is presumed to do a solo acoustic performance that night.
Let's hope it's true.
Should be fun to watch.

Keith Urban Injured!
i h8 rick!
wow wish I were a democrat.
Too bad they didn't get my favorite band to perform… The Spice Girls.
wow.. thats so new jersey of him… i love it.
silly politics.
why not the Jonas Brothers, that who those two little chimps of his like
OMG!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! If Bon Jovi AND Springsteen are playing the DNC then I have to vote democrat!!! Yeah, the democrats can so relate to average, everyday people. Especially now that Jersey's finest are going to entertain the crowds. I hope that both Jon and Bruce realize that if Obama wins I will no longer have any money to buy their concert tickets and buy their CDs…….
rockstar
yep
Re: PunkyBrewstein – no make No sense..
JBJ sure knows how to work that pole.
nice move obama?
Sounds like a great time if you're an old white dude out of touch with the times. I still don't understand why it wasn't ok to count hillary's delegates (MI & FL) when it would have won her the nomination, but now they are ok to release to obama. Seems like the party wanted to do what the tv told them to do, no matter how sexist and undemocratic - I mean MI & FL voted for HER not obama. Do I vote for a dude I hate or a dude I don't trust? Maybe watching the ugly old rockers will help me find the answer.
Obama may be 'trying to keep things entertaining' …but, anyone who believes that 'he is the one who is going to save the US'….is deluded.
Granted, Bush got us into an untenable situation, but, to think that Obama can get us out, ALIVE (FFS, the British Pound has more prevalence then the US dollar)…has absolutely no knowledge, reference and/or experience in our executive, judicial and legislative process.
Re: CoCo ChaNeL – read a newspaper and get out of Perez's ass for 10 minutes, will ya?
who will he get to play for all his coon followers?
Y'know… I'm definitely an Obama fan and love the idea of having fun at his speech, however…
This is not going to do ANYTHING for his reputation as a "worldwide celebrity", according to the Republicans. McCain will just childishly rub this whole thing in Obama's face.
Re: PunkyBrewstein – DISGUSTING LANGUAGE!!!!
It's so sad and pathetic….12 of the comments, before mine, were either more concerned with Bon Jovi or making nonsense comments (highboo, you were not included).
God, help this country, its' citizens and its' beliefs/culture. Apparently, our younger citizens are only interested in Miley, the Jonas Bros., the Spice Girls and Springsteen. Let's hope that they aren't into teen bands/singers when they are in their 40's and 50's…and, they will realize what we were all talking about, with Obama.
Hell yeah, I will be there!
I LUV BON JOVI!
Re: PunkyBrewstein – ok ..read a newspaper?? take a english class..i was simply stating that the sentence you won't made NO sense…
I can see McSame seething right now, whining: Why do all of Hollywood love Obama?
Don't be so sad McCain, u have Arnie!
"Should be fun to watch"… WTF are you kidding. Sounds horrible. Is it 1989?
What, no Bono? Babs? Madonna could have sprinkled some twat sweat around if she had planned her tour better.
Re: Anonymous –
Try this one: McLame steps out in Public after 30 years as a Senator and states he Know NOTHING of Healthcare and the economy! Yeah, I trust him to strengthen back the US dollar… RIGHT! He's the lame duck currently targeting IRAN! Can we please get back to getting Bin Laden, you know… the 7 ft Saudi Arabian that is responsable for 9/11?
Re: PunkyBrewstein – I agree with the #10 comment, by CoCo Chanel. Your #6 comment made no sense, whatsoever.
Lay off the booze and/or bong, (for at least 24 hours) and you would realize this.
Re: PunkyBrewstein –
You can play for his "coon" friends, bitch.
Childishness is all you understand.
SHIT HE'S STILL HOT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
First it was Hillary, Hillary, Hillary… and it got OLD FAST.
.
Now you write all about Obama.
.
Change your website to: I'm just a WHORE for the Democratic ticket.com
.
I don't read Celeb sites for someone's political slant. I doubt anyone does.
i was a little on the fench for this, but barack has just pulled me over to his side… i LOVE bon jovi!!! if only i was american and my vote actually mattered… :S
Re: Minx – If you scan through my comments, on this thread….you will find that I am neither endorsing McClain NOR Obama.
What I find ridiculous, though,…is that most of the respondents are making comments that have NOTHING to do with how the Presidency and Government should be run! They seem to be more concerned with the celebrities and musical acts that are performing! Don't you see something wrong with that?
OH! and that man is absolutly the most beautiful creature on the face of the planet… BON JOVI ROCKS!
you know, after thinking about it…these acts sound like people McCain would have picked to play HIS convention. WTF? I thought Obama was supposed to be young and cool. Kayne? Diddy? Jonas? Heck, what about any rock band that isn't 10,000 years old? Springsteen can roll his wheelchair out if they let him out of the old folks home. Bon Jovi can borrow my blow dryer and round brush so he can feather his hair like I did in the 80's - BACK WHEN BON JOVI WAS POPULAR!
my comments seem to keep gettin erased, so i'll say it again:
and im not american, but if i was, i would vote obama…
GO OBAMA!
and
BON JOVI ROCKS!
jon bon jovi is HOT HOT HOT!!
oops, nevermind, but still, i could never say jon bon jovi is HOT HOT HOT too many times!
:D
And to all you undecided voters who have been persuaded to vote Obama because of these performers…d'uh. People die for the right to vote and that's how you're going to make a decision? Instead of getting your political info from Perez (you know I love you, babe) try actually educating yourselves about the candidates positions. This is the most important election of our lives - it would be a shame to let musicians or Oprah decide who OUR next prez will be. Dumbass has never even voted in her life FOR ANYTHING and she will decide who leads our nation - weird.
Nice to look at!!
Why the racial comments?? sad sad
Jon is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOTTTTTTTT!!!!! If I was in the US, I would Vote Barack - time for change, time for something new - be brave!!!
something new…like springsteen…like bon jovi…huh?
Re: Duck – You would vote for Obama simply because Jon Bon Jovi performed for him?!?
I will try to put this nicely…..STAY WHERE YOU ARE. We, in the US, do NOT need your 'type of vote'. We want/need responsible, articulate voters….not voters who decide on a candidate, based on the musical talent.
Thank you.
He's trying to appeal to those bitter, gun totin', clinging to their religion middle-class voters he had trouble with in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and to the rest of the working-class whiteys like me.
-
He's got the black vote lock up so no need for Diddy or Kanye.
-
He's got the fickle young voters locked up so no need for the Jonas Boys or Katy Perry.
-
He's hoping these two has-beens can bring us into the fold. I'm surprised he didn't get John Cougar Mellon-head too.
Re: Duck –
Do you want to be more specific as to what you think that "change" is going to be? Blah… blah…. blah… change…. blah …. blah. Get real
Re: Anonymous – Can you blame the guy? A lot of US citizens are voting for Obama without really knowing anything about him either. They're just a bunch of followers and now they can add one more to the flock.
is it bon jovi or jon bon jovi? is he bringing the drunken womanizing sambora with him? hide your booze!
Change! Hope! Springsteen! Bon Jovi! LOL
Ya, that's the ticket. Two aging white rockers, that'll win the flyover states.
Springsteen was staying at the same hotel as i was in Paris this summer- I didn't recognize him he looked so much like crap- I mean REALLY old and sort of fat and skin like leather. He might have millions of dollars, but obviously he doesn't much care what his beat up face and body look like. And- btw, the hotel was one of the most expensive in Paris. Just sayin- if he's such a big liberal, why didn't he stay in a smaller, cheaper hotel and give the extra money he saves over to the "working class". Bet he flew there in his own plane too! Oh- and he stood out front with his bodyguards blocking the EXIT area autographing and no one could leave the hotel until he decided he would MOVE out of the way. Not once did he look up to see if he was keeping other guests from leaving. Leerjet liberals- arrogant and want YOU to pay more taxes. It was the best trip of my life, but I worked as hard as he does to be able to pay for it and I want to have some money saved up to do it again. NOT pay it in more taxes.
you are way to one-sided. you are entitled to your own opinion, but leave the politics out of your website. this is a celebrity gossip website, it has no place for politics, just like Madonnas tour.
I saw Jon Bon Jovi perform at an Al Gore rally back in the day. It was sweet.
Re: eangie – -
1st Rule for being Republican - Don't whine like a Democrat.

2nd Rule - Don't tell others what to and what not to write - Another Democrat tendency.

3rd Rule - See Rule #1
Love The Boss and Jonny Boy, but seriously America - WTF?
i love bonbon and springstien and obama
Celebrities! Is there nothing they don't know! Dear Jon, Fuck you! I won't do what you told me!! Regards, The People.
Corzine is gonna like him even more.
Re: Squirrel – I don't know who you learned those 'rules' from…but, you were misinformed.
Sometimes, it IS best to concentrate on eating those mashed potatoes, instead of listening to your elders talk about politics, at the dinner table.
I'm a Jersey guy. I love Bruce and I love John. But they need to get their asses out of politics. Democrats like Corzine are destroying NJ! Its impossible to live here anymore! Taxes are crazy.
Re: Jembabemba –
exactly…. F Bruce and F John. I cant even afford NJ anymore!
It sucks being 31yrs old finally making good money and getting my ass banged by Democrats.
You are what you make of yourself America. Stop asking for hand-me-downs.
Re: highboo –
it's John Bongiovi.
I went to high school with his brother Matt. John totally hooked him up with a nice shore bar! What?!!!???
MCCAIN PICK A WOMAN.. YOU WILL WIN!! AND THERE ARE STILL MILLIONS OF US DEMS FOR MCCAIN!!!! HE IS THE CHANGE WE NEED NOT OBAMA!!!
JBJ looking HOTT in the pic…
TOO BAD THEY COULDNT HAVE BEEN "RICK ROCKED" !!!!!!!
yay! i love Bon Jovi! i saw them live once! they are awesome
I really hope he keep things entertaining because tonight they discovered that Obama's asociation with terrorist William Ayers is really more intense and close that Obama want us to believe. Documents realease from a library confirm of the relashionship. Bad news for Obama. Mr. Ayers bombed the Capital, The Pentagon and the State Dept. He was a member of "The Wheather Underground" that conducted at least 12 bombings all over the USA in the 70's. He and Obama formed a corporation and the money is now link to terrorists. They broke the news 10 minutes ago.
Re: MC-Daddy – Oh, yeah? Well, I played bingo with his grandma, went to the latest flick with his mom, had a cup of coffee with his dad, and ended up talking with his grandpa (when I dialed the wrong number).
See? Anyone can claim that they 'know' the family of a celebrity. The truth is in the proof.
i think that people need to see that
AMERICA IS NOT A BAD COUNTRY.
first of all, if your ashamed to live here (michelle obama) i think that you should move. move to a country where woman have no rights at all. a place where your dictated by one man and one man only and if you disobey you will be shot without question. maybe then you'll realize how great being an american is.
furthermore, we may be in shitty times people, but it does not mean that this country is doomed. weve been in WAY WAY WAYY shittier times than this. we need to unite and beleive in our country and its leader no matter what kind of situation it is.
if obama gets elected, i wont be happy, not at all. but i will respect him as our leader. and i wont trash him like countless americans trash bush. its not right.
I have NEVER liked Bruce Springsteen…he has just always given me the creeps.
Why all the old bands?…hey I'm older, but would rather see newer bands associated with the Democratic Party.
I'm not voting for any of the two assholes anyway…McSame..has a funny sense of humor..but I don't think I could stand anyone that sucked up the Bush's ass the way he has..
And Obama…without a teleprompter he comes across as being almost STUPID!
I"M STILL VOTING FOR RON PAUL WHO WILL STILL BE ON THE BALLOT!
HE IS THE ONLY LOGICAL CHOICE- Plus he's honest - and SMART!!
Obama has nothing of substance to say at the convention so he has to resort to entertainment industry folk. What a pathetic president he would make! Clinton far surpasses him in every aspect for qualifications for President. Obama is a loser!
I will never buy another Springsteen or Bon Jovi item again!
Re: Anonymous –
proof… lol. They came from Sayreville NJ then his brother and mom moved to Holmdel NJ. Matt graduated in 94'. They used to live off Takalousa Drive until about 5+ yrs ago they sold the house. Both brothers looked totally different matt was a bit over 6ft while John is about 5'8. John is a good looking guy while Matt no as much.
I'll be watchin' JOVI!!!!!!!!!!!
JON BON JOVI IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY.
I LOVE BON JOVI
Re: MC-Daddy – Re: your #72 comment….. Yeah, I knew all of that info, when I was a member of the Bon Jovi Fan Club (about 15 years ago). The fan club newsletters gave vital stats, photos and personal information on, most, every family member, associated with the band…not just the bandmates, themselves.
You are not stating anything new, that has not been published before.
bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccceeeeee
Does anyone know if barack is going to attend a "Ur Votes Count" event?
Is Barack making an appearance at Ur Votes Count?
Re: Jembabemba –
Amen.
Re: Anonymous –
I'm reading your post 19 and you mentioned Obama, so please, clarify your statement of "what we are talking about Obama". WHat are you implying? I will not assume to know your thouhts, the stage is yours.
While your at it, reply to me what you meant in post 14.
WHAT THE HELL?!? politics should be strictly politics. if people are going to vote for obama because of some performer… then they are STUPID!.
that's so jersey. i love it.
Re: xokatie4681 – couldn't agree more watch the tv make ur own decision about who u vote for. it is really sad that u would pick the next president because of who preformed for them that is just a shame wake up
Cause Bon Jovi is cool@@
I am sure Obama has their slippery when wet album. *rolleyes*
