The Beastie Boys are the latest artist(s) to join the Barack Obama support train. The three white boys who helped start hip hop will be heading out on the road for their "Get Out and Vote” tour, according to Rollingstone. “This election is too important to stay at home,” they wrote. “We hope that you can come out, have a nice night, dance, sing, get your freak on, and then wake up the next morning and get everyone that you possibly can to get out and vote.”
The tour will feature Santogold, Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson and Tenacious D, besides Mike D, MCA and Ad-Rock (better known as the Beastie Boys). Kicking off on October 28th in Richmond, Virginia, before hitting St. Paul, MN and Milwaukee, WI.
