Nobody wants to perform at Trump's inauguration...

A few choice pull quotes:

Rick Astley, the 80s pop legend who is currently enjoying an unexpected career resurgence, is less forthright.
"Depends how big the cheque was!" he laughs, before expressing reservations about Trump's presidency.

Matt Healy, lead singer of The 1975.
Yes, he says, he would sing at the inauguration… but on one condition.
"I'll do it if they give me cash up front,"

Guess it's gonna be Ted Nugent and Chachi

I don't believe this. He had quite a few talented performers on The Celebrity Apprentice and i am sure that they'd be happy to sing.
Trace Adkins and others.

There must be some American Idol losers who would like a second chance. Maybe even a few of the winners.

You're right. Perhaps Joan Rivers could grace the nation with a song or two... Oh, that's right, dead. Maybe Rod Blagojevich? Lou Ferrigno? Gary Busey???
(Maybe I'm being too harsh on Mr. Trump, this could be an indicator of fiscal responsibility by procuring acts that don't command an appearance fee greater than five figures. Heck, maybe place a call to B-93 or whoever it is that puts on that concert in the swamp every year)
Well done sir!

Rodney Dangerfield? Somebody who knows about getting no respect?

Great idea but alas, dead as well.

I just saw there have been ZERO Washington DC area school marching bands that have applied to participate as well as no college bands nationally. Also the rumor mill has it that at least two high-powered talent agency managers have been offered ambassadorships if they can come up with an A-list client that will perform.

Stay tuned...

I believe The Shags may still be available for that night.

UPDATE: At this writing Jackie Evancho, age 10 and former contestant on "America's Got Talent" is scheduled to perform the National Anthem with Andrea Bocelli. I'm hopeful Mr. Bocelli, whose native language is Italian and who is also blind, will be informed by his representatives the exact nature of the performance...

Child Labor and exploitation of the handicapped.

I agree with you completely Lester that it brightens every day knowing that we are getting closer to getting rid of Barack Obama and getting our country back! Hang in there lil man, 35 days and counting!

Getting our country back? Back from whom and who is we?

Who is "The American People" Conservatives speak of on radio and TV? Surely it's only their folks they are referencing and not the 64 million or so that voted otherwise?

So many dog whistles so little time.

[Calvert DeForest]

In 35 days....life goes on.

Ha-fucking-ha...

"64 million"

Are you including the votes from Detroit? You know, the precincts where far more votes were reported than ballots actually existed? Please don't tell me you're naive enough to believe that hasn't happened specifically in Detroit as well as many other large urban areas. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the state's investigation...

We're a center-right country, and at this point, maybe its worth questioning if the 2012 election was stolen by similar shenanigans of ballot stuffing. There is no way Obama should have been re-elected.
