Mark your calendar now. Punk Voter presents "Rock Against Bush," with NOFX and Alkaline Trio March 29 at The Premier, 1700 1st Ave. S., Seattle. Tickets are $25.

"Rock Against Bush" concerts are going on all over the country, it turns out. Guess that beats "Rock for Kerry," huh? And to think Kerry once played drums in a rock band. Time for another photo-op, methinks.

Funny how here in the political sign and bumper sticker capital of North America, I've seen just one sign so far for Kerry. Hell, I've seen more dogs in raincoats.

Now, that calm voice of reason, U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Seattle), is going to lead a Howard Dean be-in tommorow in Westlake Plaza, past scene of Dean's greatest Seattle group grope. Today's Seattle Times reports, "The rally is designed in part to remind voters in Super Tuesday states they can vote for Dean even though he has suspended his campaign." Sure, and then in the general, they can cast another symbolic vote, for Nader.

UPDATES: Stefan Sharkansky says the planned Seattle Dean-iac gathering tommorow reminds him of the original "cargo cult."

Other Rosenblog visitors sound off:

KEN J. - "I hope Rock Against Bush is as fabulously succesful as Rock Against Reagan was."

TOM R. on Seattle's lukewarm feeling for Kerry - "I have also been struck by the paucity of pro-Kerry signs. I live in a neighborhood once bristling with Dean and Kucinich yard signs but have yet to see my first Kerry eruption. Apparently even the people voting for him don't find him all that inspiring. Whoever dubbed Kerry the Resume Without A Cause has it about right."
