From OAR's Twitter Account @ofarevolution

To all the Vets and Fans in the NYC area, come out and join the band at 48th & 6th in NYC on Friday, June 22nd between 7 and 9 AM where they will be performing a few songs and announcing their Veteran’s Initiatives for their Summer Crush Tour on Fox & Friends.

Went for Michael Franti last year...so much fun. Played a decent amount of songs plus interviews, came into audience to talk, and free famous dave's BBQ.

Wasn't overly crowded but would get there before 7am if possible...Can't wait to see them there Friday!

For those curious, they played:

Shattered
Are You For Real?
Taking On The World Today
Untitled
War Song
Gotta Be Wrong Sometimes
Poker

I think that's all of them.

My friend that came with me this morning is a really good photographer and brought his HD camera and took full video of pretty much the whole thing:

^ That video includes the songs NOT aired on TV and some good banter between the band and the audience during breaks.

I don't want to get too political over this, but I do have a serious curious question about the bands decision about being on FOX News...I strongly believe this was not a decision made by the band, but by someone else. I honestly can't see these guys supporting something like FOX News and the way they go about things. Of course the main stream media is bias on both ends, but they might as well call Fox News, GOP TV, every side needs their avenue and I get that, that's cool. But after all these years and following this band as close as I have, them saying "OK" to Fox News on their own would astonish me. Even Benj wrote on Facebook this morning....

Good morning!

If you're awake and not too anti-Fox News, tune in today during the 8am EST hour to see me and my band, O.A.R., perform a few songs throughout the show, and make an announcement about some plans we have regarding our summer tour....have a rockin day everyone!

Even Benj knows the people that follow the band don't believe in this bullshit, so why would the band agree to go on Fox News?

Now, I need to say this, before anyone loses their minds, but you're going to anyway....I think what they are doing for Vets is astounding and amazing and I couldn't be more prouder of them for what they are doing...just maybe shed some light on their choice of avenue....again I guess no publicity is bad publicity

I personally like Fox News...the actual news channel.

But, in regards to this, they were on regular Fox, not Fox News.

Just because the band performs on a morning news program, that doesn't really cover/handle any news doesn't mean they support them. Do you think if a band doesn't like CBS, NBC, TBS that they will not perform on Leno, Letterman or Conan?

Would you be making a political statement if they were playing on MSNBC? Who gives a shit what network they play on? We finally have some new live footage to enjoy and now, all of the sudden it's a political issue. These guys could be extreme left-wing radicals or extreme right-wing nut jobs.....that does not diminish the fact they produce great music. Let's stop revolving everything around politics.

I agree I thought it was strange for them to be on Fox News, but I don't begrudge them the publicity. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I don't see it as an endorsement of GOP TV. They're artists, not politicians.

They played Hey Girl after War Song, but I left for work in the middle, so didn't hear anything after that.

Well the chick interviewing Marc was pretty hot, which to me is more important than politics.

They are in the business of selling concert tickets. I think they should do whatever to promote it.

Theo, Thank You for posting the videos.

--------------------------------

I wouldn't read anything in to them being on Fox.

Just a couple of thoughts to keep in mind.

1. They are in the business of making and playing music. Not Politics. They make their living (paying their bills, feeding/clothing their families, medical, school, etc.) playing music.

They are a business, they can't alienate potential fans/sales based on political ideology if they want to make a living and grow more successful.

2.They are helping Veterans. You want to call attention to helping Vets? Go on Fox. The viewers tend to be very supportive of the troops and they probably got more publicity on Fox than MSNBC, CNN, HLN, & CNBC COMBINED.

Here are the ratings from June 21st (the day prior). The fact is the vast majority of those who watch cable news watch FoxNews (note that the overall viewers for Fox&Friends beats the other channels in primetime too). If the numbers are roughly the same for June 22nd then a little over one million people saw them, that seems like a good decision, to me.

Net Morning programs (6-9 AM) P2+ (000s) 25-54 (000s) 35-64 (000s)
FNC FOX & Friends       1,132            300            568
CNN Early Start/Starting Point         199             99             72
MSNBC Morning Joe         354            120            159
CNBC Squawk Box         129             31             52
HLN Morning Express w/ Meade         239            122            152
Source: TvByTheNumbers: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/06/22/cable-news-ratings-for-thursday-june-21-2012/139007/

3. All they did was go on a TV show. They didn't make a political statement, they didn't oppose anything or blame anyone, they just went on a TV show that gets high ratings.

You can either play politics or you can do business and unless your business is politics and you try and do both you limit yourself either side you choose.

Don't assume your political ideology is correct and don't expect anyone else to live by it.

If you demand others to live by your political ideology then you're political ideology is unjust.

Demanding others to live by you beliefs is an ideal shared by the most oppressive and brutal regimes throughout human history.

Leave politics out of it and just enjoy their music…

But that's just my opinion maybe I'm wrong.

"Cause I don't know nothing, and y’all don't know a thing

But if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing" -O.A.R.
