Howard Wolfson loves him some Glasvegas.



This is just too perfect. Howard Wolfson - yes, that Howard Wolfson - has a music and politics blog as well, called Gotham Acme. He gets a bit more press for his than I do; I guess working for Fox News and being Hillary Clinton's former communications director gives him an advantage. But our blogs have very comparable mission statements, and we agreed on the Biden pick. Which makes me happy.

But point being - Howard Wolfson is a huge fan of Glasvegas.

Why is this so exciting to me? Well, apart from following the election and my job, I also play guitar in an indie rock band called Soft Complex, that happens to be playing a show with Glasvegas on October 3 here in Washington DC.

Now, I was never a huge fan of the way the Clinton campaign was run - and I made that very vocally known to a lot of people. I've been an Obama supporter the whole way through, and I make no bones about it. I'm also not a huge fan of Wolfson going to work for Fox News, but hey - something has to pay the bills, and lord knows if Fox News came knocking asking for my opinion (and paying for it), I'd sure as hell give it to them. So whatever.

So, Howard, if you happen to read this - let's let bygones be bygones. Consider this a formal invitation - come hang out with us and Glasvegas at the Rock and Roll Hotel on October 3, and we'll be mend our past differences. I can pick your brain about the campaign, we can chat on gloomy rock music. Hell, I'll even buy you a shot of Crown Royal. What do you say? Honestly, the best path to party unity is a PBR in a dimly lit rock club while listening to thunderous bass lines from a Glasgow foursome. What could be any better than that?

If anybody wants, you can download a Soft Complex track here:
