Sorry but this is not about that famous 70s song that everyone was humming for months. Nope this is about the music chosen for the DC 250th celebration party.
America’s semiquincentennial party won’t reach all the way back for entertainment, but the celebration will put 1990s throwbacks on the National Mall stage. Organizers of the 250th birthday event on Wednesday unveiled the first slate of acts for the Great American State Fair, a 16-day, World’s Fair-style event scheduled for June 25-July 10 on the Mall between 4th and 14th streets NW, WUSA reports. Headlining June 26: an “I Love the ’90s” bill featuring C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Young MC—acts behind hits like “Gonna Make You Sweat,” “Ice Ice Baby,” “Girl You Know It’s True,” and “Bust a Move.”
Country star Martina McBride is scheduled to be the opening act on June 25, with the Commodores and Morris Day and the Time playing on June 27, Flo Rida on July 2, and Bret Michaels on July 3. Mainstage shows are planned for Thursday through Saturday nights, with more performers to be named. Beyond the concerts, the fair will offer military band performances, film screenings, a 110-foot Ferris wheel, the refurbished Smithsonian carousel, robotics and autonomous vehicle demos, augmented reality features, and state and territory exhibits. Admission will be free, with organizers encouraging advance registration but allowing walk-ups. Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach in a statement called the event “a moment for America to come together,” per the Hill.
Apparently this is the best Donny can do these days….A Listers would prefer not to be associated with the tacky showmanship of Donny and the gang.
I can hardly wait for the CD with the Trump logo (that is sarcasm).
But I do think that Milli Vanilli and Vanilla Ice are perfect for a Donny show….
I am sorry that this nation must endure the manure-like show of a failed prez and a political clown.
We will see who else hires on for this debacle known as the Donny State Fair.
Every day something more tacky than the day before is issued to celebrate our 250th….the Founders would be so proud.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I could care less about the boxing matches and the music concerts….I am waiting for the torch lights and the parades.
Frankly? It looks to be an embarrassment of the highest order. Oh if we could only get Bruce Springsteen and a few others to help things along…
Judy since the announcement acts have been dropping out….Young MC, McBride, Commadors, Morris Day, acts with some sort of morality are fleeing….good for them. chuq
You should care chuq
Milli Vanilli were famous for not being able to sing, and for miming to their ‘hit record’ on TV shows. *The Milli Vanilli miming scandal is one of pop music’s most infamous moments. In 1990, the R&B duo’s career collapsed when it was revealed that Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus did not sing on their hit album Girl You Know It’s True, and notoriously lip-synced during a live MTV performance*.
So that’s a fake act for a fake president, which seems appropriate.
From what I can see, Trump thinks the 250th is only about him anyway, so if I was an American I would boycott the whole ridiculous farce.
Best wishes, Pete.
Vanilla Ice was a fake ‘kid’ from the mean streets….so another fake….to go with a fake prez. chuq
Interestingly enough, I just heard that Milli Vanilli have now backed out of the performance.
Oops, my mistake. I should have read the story all the way through. Milli Vanilli are claiming they were never approached to perform in the first place now.
Not many originals left….only the losers like Vanilla Ice…..who will step up? chuq
I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality
Yeah and it seems like Donny has been in office for years and years….a long stretch…..chuq
Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, The Commodores, Morris Day, Young MC and yes, even Milli Vanilli have all backed out of performing for this fiasco. Milli Vanilli issued a statement that they were never approached by the promoters to perform for the event in the first place and were astonished to see their name on the list of entertainers. Others have stated they were actively deceived by the promoters and didn’t know this was going to be little more than a political “Trump worship” service and thought it was going to be a real gig.
I suppose they could always wheel out Ted Nugent in his wheel chair and listen to him gum out cat scratch fever. If he can remember the words, that is.
DEon’t forget that idiot Kid Rock….he is always good for some ass kissing. chuq
