Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Brittany Howard and Joan Baez will headline a star-studded protest festival set for the Washington, D.C., area a month before the midterm elections.
Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello announced the festival Wednesday while performing together at Nationals Park in Washington as Springsteen winds down his Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour.
At the concert Wednesday, Springsteen played many of his most political songs, including “American Skin (41 Shots)” about a fatal police shooting and “Streets of Minneapolis,” in response to the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents. “The Gestapo tactics of this president and this administration will not stand here,” Springsteen said. I wonder if they'll have to bring Joan Baez out in a wheel chair. When was the last time she was relevant? Oh, she never was - my bad.
He's starting to sound like a cross between Jane Fonda and Robert DeNiro.
Helluva combination.

A day after the President Donald Trump -affiliated Freedom 250 announced the “first wave” of performers for “The Great American State Fair” shows on Washington’s National Mall in June and July, the lineup has been hit with a wave of cancellations.
Young MC, Morris Day, the Commodores and Martina McBride are among the scheduled acts who have said they will not be appearing. Scheduled performers also include Milli Vanilli, the pop duo from the 1980s who were discredited after it was revealed that their frontmen, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, were only lip-syncing.

This is Barbara Stanwyck (colorized by me for effect) in the screwball comedy 'The Lady Eve', Co-starring with Henry Fonda and Directed by Preston Sturges in 1941, wearing a gown designed by Edith Head.

One of my all time favorite movies. A classy outfit for sure.
Anyway, me and my wife have this argument every time I'm watching a movie with her in it. I think she was funny as hell and a really good actress - and really, REALLY attractive. My wife thinks she was a dog. This argument will not end well. Is this kinda shit acceptable as grounds for a divorce?

Who wants to listen to Vanilla ICE. The guy had 1 song 35 years ago with an intro stolen from Queen.
ReplyDeleteMilli Vanili was famous for not singing their own songs. One of them killed himself and the remaining member of the band is not coming... So we get a guy that was not part of a band that didn't sing their songs 40 years ago. We get a black guy lip-sinking the songs of other guys who lip-sinked song 40 years ago.
Bret Michaels. The left overs of Poisson with so much surgery done that he wouldn't looks out of place wearing a dress at a Mar a Lago party.
The 250 anniversary is shaping up to be a half-assed taky affair. MMA fights at the White House, D-list celebrity and have been concerts, IndyCar race around the National Mall.... Throw in a few monster trucks, a mud pit and a bikini contest and you could fill a white-trash bingo card.
Call me crazy but I was hoping for a more classy and elevated celebration.
From here, the Freedom 250 cancellations look like upgrades.
ReplyDeleteYou left out the best part- when Bob Barker gets up, enraged, and beats the living shit out of him.
ReplyDeleteRe: those cancelations for the 250th party....???? Why did they agree to perform in the first place? I mean they had to have known what it was for. Why are they canceling? And the ones that canceled; who are they and/or why haven't we heard from them in quite a bit of time?
ReplyDeleteI thought Stanwyck was a babe when she was young but not so much when she got older. I had an aunt who looked like her but without the gruff voice.
ReplyDeleteThe "featured" performers just shows how talent has gone into the dumpster.
ReplyDeleteAdam Sandler sucker punches old man is cool?
ReplyDeleteThe Old Man kicks his ass. "Happy Gilmore" is a funny movie.
DeleteTim Walz pardon shouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on. If he'd been arrested already for fraud he couldn't have done it.
ReplyDeleteSpringsteen should be picking up poop in sanfransicko.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Caligula feel we need Circuses to keep the rabble entertained? It is not enough that our Empire is collapsing and everything the federal government does is making things worse?
ReplyDeleteStanwyck nah. Many better ones to rev your motor. But to each his own.
ReplyDeleteStanwyck was a babe all her life. Serious babe in her younger years, she turned into a serious MILF and GILF in her later years.
ReplyDeleteNow do Irene Dunne.
