OBAMA DENOUNCES BIG CORPORATE PAY PACKAGES
Fri Apr 11, 2008 4:22pm EDT
By Caren Bohan

INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama denounced huge pay packages for U.S. corporate chiefs on Friday in a drive to convert middle-class anger about the U.S. economy into votes.

"Some CEOs make more in one day than their workers make in one year," Obama said, jockeying for position against rival Democrat Hillary Clinton in Indiana, which votes on May 6.

[Cutting to the chase...]

Obama took a shot at McCain over the issue, saying that while the Arizona senator has spoken out on corporate pay, "when he's had the chance to do something about this problem, he's opted for continuing the do-nothing approach" of President George W. Bush.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers dismissed Obama's criticism, saying the legislation Obama was promoting was non-binding and would not cap or limit CEO pay and that "it sounds like more typical Washington shenanigans than 'new politics of hope and change.'"

i don't think there was a special guest for man man. i was working the show and i didn't notice hah

by special guest they meant the opening act Coyote. they were m'eh. the show was great though.

The Man Man and Yeasayer show was far from great imo. The performance by the bands were good but were made intolerable by the horrible sound. Who ever the sound guys and the concert promoters were should be ashamed.

oh hey jason (bergman?)
it's ellisa. i commented about the special guest haha.

Yeah the sound at the Yeasayer/Man Man show was pretty awful. Fun night otherwise.

Agreed concerning the sound. I still had a fun time, though. I think Yeasayer has improved as a live band since the last time I saw them (CMJ).

Don't worry be happy.

Oh man, you beat me to the "Don't worry be happy."

how many times did that song seriously play? one too many.

It was worse at the Bowery show. They started playing it as soon as These Are Powers wrapped up their set and kept it on repeat until Man Man started. At least last night they played a few non-Mcferrin songs first.

man man yeasayer sound was the worst.
i swiped alot of beers from that back table though

Yeasayer/Man Man review in list form:

pros:
-mushy sounds kind of worked for yeasayer cause it was reverby and so are they.
-in my nabe/alternative venues are cool
-good bands

cons:
-8 checkpoints to get in, 2 to buy beer
-bad sound, definitely not in Man Man's favor
-too much mcferrin, might be funny in theory, but in reality it's irritating and makes me want to die.
-45 minutes btw bands
-bright room, overly boost mobiled = no vibe.
