The Other Paper

Letters to the Editor
Shame on Dan Williamson for ridiculing the lineup of bands appearing on behalf of John Kerry at the Columbus Vote for Change concert ("At least we didn't get Jackson Browne," Aug. 19).
MoveOn.org deserves credit for booking performers like Johnny Cougar and Bruce Springsteen, who reflect the values and image of the Democratic presidential ticket. With it being state fair season and all, you've really got to scrape the bottom of the barrel to book acts as old, phony, out-of-touch and filthy rich as the candidate himself.
I mean, if Democrats feel that Columbus deserves a headliner who disguises himself with hair dye, Botox, and worn-out, working-class rhetoric, far be it from me to point out the fact that he is really a multi-millionaire front man for a group that stopped being relevant in the early '80s.
