Spare Some Change- Obama Fund Raiser

Spare Some Change: NYC Artists for Barack Obama is the title of an upcoming concert to benefit Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

The Aug. 11 concert will be held in Manhattan at New World Stages. The 8 PM performance is scheduled to include an original song penned by Henry Krieger and Bill Russell performed by Tony winner Lillias White; appearances from "One Life to Live" stars Kathy Brier, BethAnn Bonner and Kamar de los Reyes; songs from Andrew Lippa, Sarah Schlesinger, Mike Reid, Georgia Stitt, Sean Keogh, Kirsten Guenther and Joy Sun; and performances from the casts of Hair, the short-lived Glory Days as well as Mamma Mia!'s Carrie Manolakos, Grease's Lindsay Mendez, Company's Teri Ralston and musician-actor and Playbill.com columnist Seth Rudetsky.

It will be worth it to see Lillias White Perform that new song, apparently entitled "And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Muslim)."

That is just TOO funny JoeKv99. I swear I was falling asleep at my desk until I read that and laughed out loud! Thanks for perking up my afternoon!

I hear they are trying to put together a similar concert for Hillary Clinton- so far they have Art Garfunkel, John Oates, the Blowfish, and Andrew Ridgely.

The cast of Glory Days!

Do they get above the title billing?

Jessica Simpson is a hard core Republican. She campaigned for Gorge W. Bush.

Exactly my thought Taz. They get all the good ones:

Matthew McConaughey
Vince Vaughn
David Spade
Wayne Newton
Patricia Heaton (although she supports the Assault Weapons Ban)
Tom Selleck
Drew Carey
Rachel Hunter
Jean Claude Van Damme (sp?)
And of course, Britney Spears.

I fear we will never be able to bridge the "The ass-kicking movie star" gap: Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, Norris...

Ah, the disdain for Republicans always unites us.

At least there's that namate.
