Not only are the “A-listers” shunning trump but they are ganging up for an enormous anti trump concert in Miami to be held at the same time as the inauguration I believe. Hopefully that event will attract many times the number of people as the short fingered vulgarians hate/fear/division speech. For the sake of the soul of the nation we need musicians, artists and poets to perform an uplifting day of fun and laughter to counter the “cloud of evil” that will hover over DC on inauguration day. The day after will be the Womens March and it looks like that will be an enormous show of opposition to the cretin as well. Please write to your senators and tell them you are opposed to the repeal of the ACA without there being a viable, vetted by the CBO replacement plan on the table. Please call. We only need to peel off three Senators to stop this thing from happening. Fight back folks.
Well…we’ll need some bikers with pool cues
We know it isn’t Woodstock…it’s the circus!
Pig face is right; it’s more like Altamont. The Devil is loose.
“This isn’t Woodstock. It’s Nuremburg.”
More appropriately:
In keeping with his management style, Donald Trump’s transition team has asked for the names of every entertainer who has performed at the White House since January 20, 2009.
THIS is gonna leave a mark on Trump’s head:
“The Obama Inaugural Celebration concert featured performances by (in alphabetical order) Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Renée Fleming, Caleb Green, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, Bettye Lavette, John Legend, John Mellencamp, Jennifer Nettles, Pete Seeger, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, U2, Usher, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder.”

Scott Baio couldn’t make it.
If he had a bunch of A-list folks there they would eclipse him…so yeah, makes sense he wants a bunch of nobodies. I’m just hoping that alternative concert comes off. He can’t stand being a Loser, despite the fact that that is exactly what he is, so losing ratings to a bunch of those A-list folks he didn’t want in the first place would seem like just the thing.
It’s not even Branson.
This goes beyond ideology. Many artists, actors and musicians grew up poor and working class. They did not always have the luxury of attending Julliard. Nor did they have stage parents like say a Taylor Swift to cover their expenses. Most worked in variety of positions be it blue or pink collar and they are emphatic toward them. It’s likely they were taken advantage of by some Trump like boss be it harassment or wage theft. Chances are they were members of a union or are members of SAG and AFTRA. Ones life experience makes it likely they are not sympathetic toward the incoming administration.
This doesn’t make sense.
@birdford - yeah it is Altamont. I was there and it felt a lot like this has felt.
It’s clearly not the Elks Club either…keep searching for those ‘people’ that it’s all about sweetie!
Well, Boris, just wait till Trump realizes the crowd at Woodstock was bigger (and less violent) than the crowds at his rallies. You might want to reconsider your analogies.
should have done orange sunshine. everybody would feel much better.
This will be the most boring, least watched inaugural in history.
mattinpa cautious with predictions?.. hmm.
Kinda like the RNC convention?
Not a circus. A third rate, broken down, end of the line carnival with 3 ancient rides running at an ancient run down strip mall.
