Yet another rock star's musical campaign for Kerry...
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 08:53 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
my daughter is a huge fan of the band, 311. Personally, I like the fact that they make great music, all without misogyny or advocating violence. Their lyrics include occasional profanity, but all within context.

Nick Hexum (the lead singer) and his brother are touring to support John Kerry. Another sign that popular culture is turning our way.
BTW, after my (16 y/o, very politically savvy) daughter read this article, she said, "Could I love Nick Hexum any more?!! LOL, she's great!

311 Singer Nick Hexum Hits The Road To Send Bush On His Way

Hexums For Kerry Tour marks vocalist's first time on the road without 311.

by Corey Moss


311 singer Nick Hexum is following his own advice: Don't stay home.

Stirred by his dissatisfaction with President George W. Bush, Hexum has scheduled a tour of swing states with his brother, singer Zack Hexum, and aptly titled it the Hexums for Kerry Tour.


"It had been bothering me for a while that I wasn't doing enough," said Nick, who is well versed in both of the presidential candidates. "It hit me that I needed to at least devote these last five weeks to getting Bush out of office. If Bush wins, it'll be a sad day, but I'll at least know we did our best towards a plan for world peace."
