Bust a move.

[BaronChocula]

23. Okay smarty

Ditch that party.

[a kennedy]

6. Ditto

[a kennedy]

7. Ditto

[Katcat]

25. And

DITTO

[Ursus Rex]

13. One guy in the pic Millus Vanillus

it's only fair to get the name right.

[yardwork]

15. Touche!

[Celerity]

26. One died in 1998 when I was closing in on one and a half years old.

Rob Pilatus, dead at 33 (other reports say 32yo, as his birth year, either 1964 or 1965, is disputed)

Formerly half of Milli Vanilli

https://variety.com/1998/music/news/rob-pilatus-dead-at-33-1117469814/

Rob Pilatus, a former model whose career as half the pop music duo Milli Vanilli crashed in disgrace and drug addiction after it was revealed that the group lip-synched its songs, was found dead April 3 in a hotel room near Frankfurt, Germany, after consuming alcohol and pills, according to the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. He was 33.

5. I looked up Mili Vanilli and they are listed as "WERE" musicians. Maybe someone got ahold of their

title and songs and are trying to create a new band ??

[yardwork]

9. That would be in brand.

Lip sync the lip syncers? Why not. Hall of mirrors.

[odins folly]

27. Compare that line up to the one

Just recently announced by Tom Morelo:

The one-day festival will feature special performances from an extraordinary lineup of artists and activists including Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Brittany Howard, Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black (featuring Roman Morello, Revel Ian, Yoyoka Soma and Hugo Weiss), Serj Tankian, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, grandson, The Neighborhood Kids, Taylor Momsen, Matt Cameron, The Linda Lindas, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and Tom Morello, alongside artwork and a DJ set by legendary artist Shepard Fairey.

Quite the contrast in talent….

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. Which event is this, and when ?....please.

[odins folly]

29. Just saw it on AP, but this is the headline from

Rolling Stone:

TOM MORELLO ANNOUNCES POWER TO THE PEOPLE FESTIVAL WITH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, FOO FIGHTERS, MORE
The one-day, D.C.-area event taking place in October “celebrates the spirit of activism, creativity, and hope,” Morello says

And this:
The one-day event takes place on Oct. 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

Hope that helps

[Timeflyer]

8. Remember 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,' set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape with to-the-death cage matches?

"Two men enter, one man leaves!" Not music, but BLOOD, to celebrate the Emperor and satisfy the appetite of the masses. Oh, wait--we now have ICE to do that.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. White Housee lawn

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

10. Are people really that fucking desperate to be entertained? Damn.

[Attilatheblond]

19. Possibly just that desperate to be in a crowd of people who are just as idiotic, tasteless, and easily impressed as them

Plus, beer?

[SCantiGOP]

21. Caligula gave the people bread and circuses

Now, they can’t afford the bread, and the circus is a bunch of B-listers from 40 years ago.

[Aristus]

24. There's an old story from Caligula's reign that his games in the amphitheater went on for so many days,

that they started to run low on viable acts. All they had left were paunchy, arthritic old gladiators, and skinny, toothless lions to feature in the games. The spectators were not amused, and made their displeasure known. Caligula reportedly had the ringleaders executed.

[ColoringFool]

12. "Milli Vanilli" comprises surviving member Morvan and a band, live vocals......

He's in the midst of a career comeback and he's NOT AMERICAN, SO PROBABLY COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT OUR POLITICS.

[Raven123]

14. I don't know this performer, but I do know he is uninformed

Of course this was all about Trump.

[Ms. Toad]

16. How do you not know that a "Freedom 250" event,

Especially one held in DC, is part of Trump's appropriation of the countries 250th birthday?

[Old Crank]

18. Vanilla Ice

Still around.
Just trying to drum up more royalty payments I guess.

[Attilatheblond]

20. Next up: Trump and the Lipsinkers fail to organize a 'piss up' in a brewery

[ChicagoTeamster]

22. As usual, MAGAt promoters and agents have to lie to the artists to get them to agree to performing. I wonder how many

more would back out if they knew they were being solicited for a Trump event.
