There’s nothing like some free James Taylor for lunch
I think there’s a law that says if you live in North Carolina, you must be a James Taylor fan. So the folks pulling the strings behind the Barack Obama campaign were pretty smart to snag the Carolina Crooner for five free concerts throughout the Tar Heel state given how much of a battleground state it has become.
He performed for free Tuesday in downtown Raleigh’s Moore Square during a lunchtime political rally. It may have been the first time a concert in Moore Square featured political paraphernalia instead of Bud Light.
Here’s a video I made for 30THREADS that includes some of Taylor’s Obama freestyling. I was able to record a few of his songs from the media risers as well. I posted those on 30THREADS.
And, for the record, if John McCain’s campaign organizes any free concerts in downtown Raleigh, you better believe I will totally be there with my camera in hand.
If you were at the concert and posted any pictures or video online, feel free to share links to in in the comments section.
Hey, Ginny! Thanks again for taking a couple of shots with my camera at the concert. I embedded your vid and blogged about it here: http://tinyurl.com/5g2axc And I posted the photos here: http://tinyurl.com/5fsucj
What a great lunch break, huh?
Thanks for the link love, Lisa. Although, I looked at your photos on Flickr and it looks as though the shots you got from the ground were better than the ones I took from the platform.

Hah! “It may have been the first time a concert in Moore Square featured political paraphernalia instead of Bud Light.”
Got a good laugh out of that line. Cute.
