Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Call it the second coming of Independence Day or the perfect excuse to wear that stars-and-stripes jacket, but don’t call Freedom Concert ’09 a concert. Yeah, there will be music or whatever by “Achy Breaky Heart” pioneer Billy Ray Cyrus and Lee Greenwood (best known for the tugging-at-the-heartstrings hit “God Bless the USA”), but this Sean Hannity-hosted Republican convention in disguise is actually headlined by Oliver North. That’s right, the attention-grabbing Marine of the Iran-Contra scandal and current Fox News Channel political commentator will be onstage, doing, well, we’re not sure what. Maybe wearing a stars-and-stripes jacket?
A concert. Yeah, sure.
One piece of bad news, though: the $114 and $141 tickets are all gone (ah, man) so you’ll have to settle for the remaining seats priced at $42.25 and $86.75.
