Musical protests take place on Harriet Island

ST. PAUL (AP) - While the Republican National Convention is being scaled back because of Hurricane Gustav, it's full-speed ahead for an anti-GOP concert planned today on St. Paul's Harriet Island.



The four-hour "Take Back Labor Day" show includes singer-songwriter Steve Earle, his wife Allison Moorer, English folk musician Billy Bragg, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and hip hop artist Mos Def.

The Service Employees International Union is sponsoring the concert to counter the Republican message.
