My country, or SMiLE????
THIS IS NOT FAIR!
Brian Wilson finally announces his fall U.S. tour for SMiLE, where he will perform the album in its entirety (like he did in Europe at the start of the year, which I talked about before)
This is good news...
Except the closest gigs he will play are either ON or RIGHT before election day this year! That means that on that day, I get to choose between seeing Brian Wilson or helping out the nation in one of the most important and close elections in this nation's history. ARGH!
As much as I love Brian Wilson, and the recordings I have of SMiLE from this winter, when it comes down to a question of seeing him or having John Kerry be president, I have to go for the higher calling, and I have to not see Brian Wilson on November 2nd.
Please though, Brian, schedule some other dates in LA past November 2nd! Please, LA is your HOME afterall!
(Additonal note: I am not quite so stupid that I assume that my work in California can swing the election. However, after 2000, I have learned to assume absolutely nothing. If I'm not doing whatever I can to lawfully elect Kerry on election day, I'm not doing enough)

First of all, I'd like to ask why he (or his people) would even THINK of scheduling a concert on election day in the first place!
Yay for the decision! Oh! And hey! I'd figured out the code (most of it), so you should go look (of course!). =D http://www.6677.us username admin, password aeiou. No, I'm not worried because he'll change it, and there's only sample content on the site at the moment. Look at the layout and my awesome customising *cough*.
God bless, hugs and kisses.
Lots of Love,

Unfortunatly, Brian seems quite out of it these days (and by these days I mean anytime past 1966), so I'm not so sure he's aware that he has a concert scheduled for that day. Most likely the concert is 8pm or post-8pm, so it's not likely to interfere with the election itself.
The scarier note is that the Oct 29 concert (on a Friday) appears to be at Pala Casino. Yes, he's performing at a Native American Casino.
To quote a lyric from SMiLE, "Bicycle Rider, just see what you've done to the Church of the American Indian."
As for the site, very very impressive!
