What's the deal with Trump's Inaguration Committee's inability to secure "A" list talent?

Maybe I’m just getting old, but … who? :confused:

Aaaaaaand, Paul Anka has thought better of it. He has dropped out, saying “I’ve been in a custody battle for two years for my son Ethan. We have a new schedule now, and we’re unable to do it.”

If they played Loser, that would be one hell of a coup.

Their heyday was over ten years ago. You could have looked that up.

I’ll admit I’ve never heard of 3 Doors Down either. But I’m also at that age where my not hearing of a band may well be a positive sign for them.

For all the money on the world, the guy can’t buy a clue.

I will easily believe that Toby Keith is that much of a dumbass. Have you seen his lyrics? 3 Doors Down I’m legitimately a bit disappointed in, but they haven’t been relevant since “Kryptonite” stopped being on the regular pop-rock rotation, so…

It’s funny: Trump was never cool himself, but he was often cool-adjacent. Now that’s over, too, and it will never come back.

Paul Anka in a custody battle?? I guess he wants the kid so they can both get a deal on disposable diapers.

I’d guess that 3 Doors Down is on the “Oakfield Summertime Municipal Jubilee” circuit these days. Not exactly a “get”.

Things have gotten to the point of Trump personally trying to give away free tickets.

To further the hilarity, now the cover band has pulled the plug: Bruce Springsteen Cover Band Drops Out of Donald Trump Party – Rolling Stone

ETA: apparently scalpers can’t even resell tickets: Scalper taking loss on tickets to Trump inauguration as secondary market interest on the mogul’s swear-in wanes  – New York Daily News

Oh, that is sweet!!! :eek::smiley:

Maybe some wedding band is available.

I honestly do not know what to think in this case.

On one hand, we have the completely irredeemable Donald Trump.

On the other, we have a ticket scalper. What’s more, this is a ticket scalper who is identified in the article as a Democrat, and has the traditionally Jewish name “Rosenberg” who, not finding buyers:

…visited a handful of white supremacist websites, including the Daily Stormer, where he posted listings for the tickets on the site’s message boards.

The next four years are going to make satire and parody nearly impossible.

I feel bad for those guys. They played the 08 and 12 parties and were booked for this one a couple of years ago before they knew who would win. They are totally apolitical and were getting so much shit that they canceled.

Haven’t you heard? According to Tom Lehrer, it died a long time ago:

It’s a pity that they are getting hit by the shit flung around by the Trumpfan [sup]TM[/sup] but the idea that someone who craves celebrity adulation as much as Trump getting (maybe) a spoons player to perform for him is extremely funny.

Oh man, I remember the spoons fad from, what?, the late 80s? Hadn’t thought of that in eons.

Well you can’t blame the 3 Doors Down guitarist, the original guitarist they scored all their radio hits with, Matt Roberts, died in 2016, so you can still jam out to the isolated guitar tracks and disown the rest of the band lol.:slight_smile:

Moby declined a request from Trump on Instagram:
