The surviving members of the Grateful Dead will play The Warfield in San Francisco tonight to support Barack Obama's run for presidency. The one-off appearance is the band's first since 2004, and was scheduled for today because tomorrow is Super Tuesday, which accounts for more than half of the nation's delegates.

IClips.net will stream a simulcast of the "Deadheads for Obama" show starting at 4:30 pm est today.

Like Oprah's minions, so-called deadheads are fiercely loyal to their leaders. Only time will tell whether they'll show up at the caucuses, but hey, it's worth a shot.
