OK, I stole the name from Thirdwavedave, but it was simply better than anything I could come up with. Here's the scoop:
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and REM frontman Michael Stipe will headline a New York concert to urge the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
The concert, dubbed "Bring 'Em Home Now!" will be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom on March 20, the 3rd anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Rufus Wainwright and Bright Eyes will also perform, it was announced Wednesday.
Ugh, just when you thought it was safe to pay attention to national affairs again.
Perhaps instead of calling it "Bring 'Em Home Now!" they should call it "Crash and Burn," considering Cindy Sheehan's marketability of late...

Or maybe they should call it the "Power Vacuum" tour or "Iraqi Bloodbath" tour.
