Dave Matthews apparently has so much to say about Ohio politics.
The ’90s rockstar will crash into Cleveland to help fellow throwback Dennis Kucinich with a campaign fundraiser later this month, Kucinich’s gubernatorial campaign announced Friday.
The event will take place on April 20 – a fitting date for a candidate who has campaigned for full marijuana legalization and a veteran of the jam band circuit.
The activist musician and left-wing candidate first connected more than a decade ago at Farm Aid, Kucinich’s campaign said, and have teamed up on a number of liberal causes since.
Kucinich is looking to topple former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray, the establishment Democratic favorite, in next month’s primary – a prospect that has many Democrats in the state worried could happen and hurt their chances at winning the general election. But Matthews, for one, hopes Democrats don’t drink the Cordray water.
Seeing how I absolutely despise the music of the Dave Matthews Band, this won’t help me appreciate Dennis Kucinich more.
I liked Dave Matthews for about 3 minutes the first time I heard him. Then the pot wore off.
So?
Perfect fit: annoying politician and an annoying band.
There’s a pair - between the Dennis and the band they’ll put the whole audience to sleep.
