Friday Night's Punk Show

I was lucky enough to see a punk show at Red Rocks Friday night. It was a good show and I'm glad I got the night off of my AP gig to attend. I just wanted to share a picture taken by a good buddy of mine, J Gammeter.










The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who haven't been through Colorado in a good long time, waited until their last song to unfurl a giant Obama banner.
It was really interesting to see the crowd's reaction to the banner, but more so I really admired band's quiet respect for the Democratic nominee for president. After the banner came down the band finished their song and walked off stage. No preaching, no whining; nothing. It is easy for a band playing to a crowd the size of Red Rocks to jump on a soapbox and tell their fans how to vote. Especially if the band (and fans) in question are inherently left wing punk rockers.
Well played Bosstones, well played.
