Choose or Lose Seems to Lose Neil?

Major concert news update, although it seems without Neil Young? From MTV.com word that The Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, Jurassic 5, My Morning Jacket, R.E.M., Ben Harper, Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt are among the artists taking part in the Vote for Change Tour, which will hit key battleground states across the country in early October.

No word on why Neil dropped out. Maybe he's not willing to sing for politicians? That Vote's For You!

So what do you think about Neil not participating in the Vote for Change Tour - good or bad idea?

Last we checked, the vote was a dead even tie?! Curious about this since fans were so strongly in favor Neil Young's contribution of the song "Rockin' In The Free World" to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 film soundtrack.

So get off that couch, turn off that MTV and VOTE!
