The Roots want you to register to vote! Oh, and see them at The new Hollywood Palladium on Friday.


I have to admit that I have been a tad distracted by the presidential campaign, culminating in last night's final presidential debate between Senators Obama and McCain. I hope that if you have not registered to vote, that you will please listen to Philadelphia hip-hop group The Roots and register here. Here is a brief message from the band themselves:



If you need to know more about voter registration in your state (including deadlines), please consult the Declare Yourself website. Please indulge in this right as an American citizen, whether you are for Obama or that other guy. No matter which candidate you support, your fellow citzens who may not get to the polls in November will thank you.

In non-political Roots news, they are playing a show at the newly revamped Hollywood Palladium on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA, this Friday, October 17. Almost everyone I know has seen The Roots at least once, but if this is your first time, enjoy yourself, it's a celebration, biatch!
