Nope, it hasn't been announced. But it's a great idea to get out the hippie vote again, and maybe they can include Hornsby in a big old spectacular national-attention-getting show this time. It doesn't have to "replace" Furthur, either; in a Spring 2008 interview Phil Lesh said, “Basically, what [The Dead have] decided after the Obama event was that when we do get together we want to do it for a good cause — for benefits. For something like the getting-out-the-vote rallies. For doing good for other people. That’s basically the approach we’re going to take.” www.theweekender.com/music0617.html

A few lineups that would work:
Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann, Hart, Hornsby, Marsalis, Sless and Donna Jean
Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann, Hart, Hornsby, Karan and Osborne
Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann, Hart, Hornsby, Herring, Karan and Donna Jean
Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann, Hart, Hornsby, Karan, Becker and Pehrson
Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann, Hart, Hornsby and Haynes

Any of those would be great. Bobby could also do some TRI benifits too.

i'd love to see branford sit in with furthur.. saw big C down in boca but man branford would tear it up i think jk would dig that

i'm not particularly fond of any of those lineups actualy maybe

Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann, Hart, Hornsby, Herring, Karan and Donna Jean

i could vibe that. oh yeah.

Unfortunately Obama 2012 has much less of a roar than it did in 2008.

I think JK at least needs to be in consideration, the guy has stepped up to a big challenge and done fairly well in my opinion

I don't care who plays, as long as they get people out to vote, preferably for Obama!

I've lost faith in this government. I was raised american and catholic. I consider myself as american as I do catholic. I will not vote for obama again. My linguistic skills are not sufficient to adequately express the contempt I harbor for Obama or the government he figureheads.

Ron Paul ! & JK !
