This just in from the Wisconsin State Journal, and forwarded to me by my friend Margo...my favorite band Wilco announced that they will play a free concert as part of a campaign rally on Saturday afternoon. Here are the details...A "stripped down" version of the rock band Wilco will perform a free concert at Union Theater as part of Campaign for Change, a Barack Obama rally featuring speakers Sen. Russ Feingold and Rep. Tammy Baldwin on Saturday afternoon.
Three of Wilco's six members — frontman Jeff Tweedy, bassist John Stirratt and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone — will perform at the event, which begins at noon, according to Wilco publicist Deb Bernardini.
Free tickets will be distributed on Wednesday at Campaign for Change's student office, 216 N. Henry St. and at the Wednesday Farmers' Market on Martin Luther King Boulevard. The Union Theater's capacity is 1,300.
In September 2007, Wilco's last show in Madison at the 2,200-seat Overture Hall sold out in one day.
Doors will open in Union Theater, 800 Langdon St., at 11 a.m. Saturday. After the concert, Baldwin will lead a march to the polls for voters to cast early votes before polls close at 3 p.m.

I'm still waiting on the madcitygirl.com presidential endorsement...
Ha. You know who I'm voting for! I prefer to steer away from the topic of politics on my blog and keep things a little lighter. I think we all need that sometimes. I also think that deciding who to vote for is a very personal choice. I only ask that you make sure your voice is heard and exercise your right to vote next Tuesday!
