You know that huge crowd that turned out for Obama in Oregon? What many media reports forgot to mention: Obama was immediately preceded by a free concert by a very popular band.

That band, The Decemberists, is known for using the National Anthem of the Soviet Union as an introduction at their concerts. I’m just sayin’.
