I’m not a real idea guy, but I suggest another Led Zeppelin tribute night at the bleach doused Kennedy Center. ---

This thread was political from the start, despite being about a concert. But the last 30 posts or so really don’t belong in Cafe Society. I’m closing the thread, as i suspect the concert content is done. If @HeyHomie wants it moved to the pit, i can do that. ---

Eh, was going to point out that this thread is kinda redundant in the pit, as there’s already just a pit thread on the America250 State Fare that is getting active replies. > [@Freedom 250 - The Great American State Fair](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/freedom-250-the-great-american-state-fair/1030470/): > > I thought we could use a thread for this semiquincentennial event that should have been an exciting celebration. Given its inauspicious start with most of the musical talent withdrawing from the proceedings, I expect it will be a shitshow of massive proportions. Hence, putting the thread in the Pit. As far as I’ve seen, it’s not been widely advertised. If the debacle with the musicians is any indication, they don’t have the top people working on it. I’m really wondering if it is going to come… Though I will note there is some info in this one not in that one. ---

> [@gnoitall](#): > > Hide the big red button, in case his response to ego collapse is to take the rest of the world with him. This is the focus of my concern–entertaining as it is to see the well-deserved setbacks assailing our Deranged Toddler, we have to wonder how destructive said toddler may choose to be. And how amenable those around him may be to participating in his revenge against humanity. If our continued existence depends on the psychological health of Stephen Miller-----we are truly screwed. ---

And now Milli Vanilli is out. > **[Milli Vanilli’s Fab Morvan Changes Tune on Freedom 250 Concerts, Says He Too...](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/milli-vanilli-fab-morvan-changes-101253535.html)** > > Milli Vanilli was one of two acts still expressing ongoing support for the Trump-backed Freedom 250 concerts in D.C., but now Fab Morvan wants out too. ---

There seems to be confusion over which iteration of Milli Vanilli was invited. The actual people who actually provided the vocals publicly distanced themselves from the whole thing, and now Fab is weighing in. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter, since everyone affiliated with the name has backed out. ---

Anything about Trump’s proposed political rally as the headlining act? ---

He’s going to perform “YMCA” for 60 minutes non-stop. Then do the “Two hands jerking off a giraffe” bit, followed by the “Look at me I’m playing a tiny accordion” act. The crowd loves that. ---

Also, he’s likely studying that copy of Hitler’s speeches that Ivana had reported he keeps in his bedside table. What better time for a stirring speech to get the crowd on their feet and roaring for a Thousand Year Reich?!?!?
