Yup  I think it was 1982...Name of the Band is the Talking Heads Tour.  I think they were in August and King Crimson were in July.  Both at MPP.


You saw Talking Heads? Nice

They stopped touring around 82-83….i had no chance

Polls schmolls. What an absolutely useless metric at this point.

polls shouldn't be taken as gospel at this point - it's not "OMG trump beat biden by 3 points, he's totally going to win in november!!!111" - but they have consistently shown that the candidates are within striking distance of each other, i.e. it's competitive and neither side has it sewn up.  so saying that either candidate could win isn't crazy, RE: space saying trump will return to the WH.  one can disagree, but you can't dismiss.

This isn’t 2016.

on the one hand, yeah def - we know what we're getting with trump.  any moderates who decided to roll the dice with him in 2016 have had that illusion shattered. 

on the other hand, i feel there is a lot of discontent in this country, some of it focused and some of it generalized (re: the number of americans who are financially better off today then they were under trump, yet still feel that the country & economy are somehow going downhill).  in a 2 party system, there is only one protest vote.

Oh and the replacement of the VP. My guess is zero. They spent zero seconds considering it.

not sure this is the right thread for this announcement, since they'll be playing both the mid-atlantic (AC) and NYC ;D   but yeah, no DC.

the tour kicks off at the lovely Chateau Ste. Michele Winery in the Woodenville, eastside of Seattle - AKA the general area where i live.  anyone who treks out for this can hit me up to discuss accommodations.

Obviously if Biden’s health fails or something really crazy happens Biden could lose but assuming that doesn’t happen Biden will win.

This isn’t 2016.

look at the polls, look at public rhetoric... i also think that biden will eek this one out, again, but it's certainly not guaranteed. 

example of what could derail ol' joe: gas prices are starting to edge upwards. if we go back to a national average above $4/gal, you're going to have millions who won't be able to focus on anything else and will want an alternative, any alternative.  it's among the stupidest thing about the american electorate, IMO: they'll elect satan if it'll save them $40/month at the pump.

there's also the health variable.  if biden has a heart attack, seizure, etc - doesn't have to take him out completely, just put him in the hospital for a few days - i really fear that would punch trump's ticket.  voters will seriously doubt his ability to finish his term, and kamala isn't a desired alternative by many. 

TAN: i wonder how seriously the biden campaign contemplated picking a different VP candidate for round 2...
