I heard about it on the today show a while back. Kinda funny story.

I couldn't tell what type of bass he was playing...

Ugh, even when they're kicking back and letting loose they still look uptight.

It looks like he's playing an Ibanez to me.

A band of Republicans playing Steppenwolf? Isn't that one of the signs of The Apocalypse?

"Born To Be Wild" indeed...

that's cool that Bolten's a bassist....

OT....It seems that plenty of politicians are musicians (Clinton-Sax, Kerry-Bass...Tony Blair-Gtr)... a couple years back I played a low-country-boil gig where General Richard Myers was at. He told us that he used to be a piano player and gig regularly.

No, not MacPherson, that's the General's Daughter's house... Actually Gen. Myer's Daughter is an alum of LSU and each year they do a Crawfish Boil and hire a Zydeco/Cajun band to play their party. I think that the year prior Charlie Wooten and Zydefunk was hired for the gig... Remember Charlie?
