Gray Matter is penned by Ted Bobrow. A native New Yorker, Ted is a Milwaukee-based writer and communications strategist who has an absolute belief in the value of every individual (though there have been a number of times when he was mighty tempted to make an exception). He knows that this isn't the best of all possible worlds so we might as well get busy. Apathy is not an option.

Bruce and Barack Rock Milwaukee
What a weekend!
If the roar of choppers wasn't enough to get your blood bubbling then maybe the music blasting from stages all over town might do the trick.
Miller Park, Milwaukee Street, North Avenue, MLK Drive and Locust Street were all bursting with music and, of course, the lakefront featured headliners Foo Fighters on Friday and the Boss himself, none other than Bruuuce Springsteen tonight.
But the nation's number one celebrity du jour, Barack Obama promises to outshine them all when he hits town on Monday. Republican candidate John McCain has poked fun that Obama's popularity is nothing but a trend a la Britany or Paris. But anyone who has heard the man speak knows that there's plenty of substance to the Illinois junior senator.
So if you're in town on Labor Day you will definitely want to check out Obama at the Marcus Amphitheater.
How often do you get a chance to witness something truly historic?
