So how many 90’s has-beens are still actually remaining in this UFC song-and-dance line-up? (well, current count, as I speak. This minute.)
At least they only have a 2 week roster to fill.
Apparently still Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida, but that’s it.
What a country!
Kid Rock is waiting for the wrestling tag team tap-in.
I know it’s UFC, but close enough.
C+F Music Factory and Vanilla Ice have confirmed they’ll be there. Bret Michaels and Flo Rida (who, unlike the rest of the lineup, has actually had a #1 single in the current century) have yet to comment AFAIK.
As someone mentioned (Robot Arm?) KR knows non-paying Trump well enough to stay away. Good enough explanation for me.
Hey, at least the place will look nice for the State Fair. Who says Trump has no taste? (Yes, I know there’s a big blurb partway down. But you get the gift of the article).
But they haven’t announced who is playing on July 4. Could be a double bill with Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood. And those asskissers would do it for free anyway.
That seems like a perfect opportunity for someone to somehow liquefy the fresh gold off of there and replace it with cheap paint, which will be discovered months later when the paint washes off. Actually, now that I think about it, that sounds like something Trump would do, if not for the manual labor involved.
There might be an opportunity for some aspiring chemist to create a surface coating, which, when sprayed on the increasingly ubiquitous low-budget gold painted public objects within merkinland, reacts with the cheap composite resins used to produce a long lasting polymer with an off green/dunn bovine faecal matter hued patina. Until said monuments are torn down rather like Firdos Square as a gesture of national recovery.
He’s been deported anyway.
For the life of me I keep thinking Lee Hazelwood when I read that name.
Somebody needs to repost this in Yoda-Speak
Back to the Bicentennial: In sixth grade a bunch of us did some math, and figured out that we would graduating from high school in 1976. We were quite excited; our yearbook is full of red white and blue pictures, and even had the Spirit of '76 picture on the cover. There was so much hype and hoopla back then, and everyone wanted in on the action. This recent NYT (gift) article describes how a historian was able get his students to save “Bicentennial junk” (his words), and brings back a wide range of memories about how pervasive the Bicentennial hype was back then. I hope you take a look at some of the things that got saved “for history”.
“Impressive, the list of songs the right loves, yet understands not, it is.”
The more complex a sentence is, the more difficult it becomes to translate into Yoda syntax. That’s why he sounds like a fortune cookie.
I enjoyed that, thanks. I was hoping to find the novelty potato snack called American Fries there. I think they were made by General Mills, but could have been Nabisco or another big company. They came in a blue box that had a cartoon picture of (I think) George Washington, and were french fry shaped potato crisps. Damn, I loved those things. I was too young and dumb to realize they would go away when the year was out.
We should all be busting ass to support and amplify sincere, genuinely patriotic and honest commemorations of US history for this milestone, whether at the state or municipal level, or developed by some other entity that isn’t this useless corrupt grifting self-aggrandizing Presidential Administration.
In that spirit, let me draw your attention to the new short-video series “250 to 250” produced and introduced here by US historian and political commentator Heather Cox Richardson.
Check out and support the America’s Tapestry Project, creating a major exhibit of commemorative textile artworks reflecting US history.
Maybe we need a thread in MPSIMS or somewhere to collect information about USA 250 events and activities other than the gilded dogshit being hyped by the Grifter in Chief.
Signs point to no.
I’m sure that they thought that every artist they wanted would be glad to perform for a Trump event. After all, he is the best and most beloved President ever, and artists would be lining up to perform, and this lucky slate of musical acts will be no doubt grateful for the wonderful opportunity they’ve been given.
[Sarcasm off.]
Really, these toadies do live in a bubble, don’t they?
