Most of the concerts I've seen on the mall or near the U.S. Capitol have been protest gigs, though I have seen a bunch of Folklife type stuff there too. Is that a good or a bad thing? I think, ultimately, probably a good thing. This concert is coming up in a few weeks. I wonder if an "Anti-war Fair" would be cool, or just a drag. I just watched Weapons of Mass Distraction on IFC and found it to be just fine, but not particularly revealatory. Also, the Bouncing Souls were listed twice on the flyer I got for this rally.

Join Operation Ceasefire, a new coalition of concerned musicians, for a
massive anti-war concert/rally at the Washington Monument on September

enormous protests in nation's capital in support of a full withdrawal
of U.S. forces from the quagmire in Iraq.
