The artists have said they were misled about the event's theme and want to avoid political controversy.

Sorry, my little darlings.

Mission failed.

Music is basically free now, so good luck keeping up what little paltry Spotify royalties you were still generating. Especially since most of you belong in the old folks home. Hope ya'all saved up your nickles and dimes.

Have a great day.

It's kind of hilarious, when you think about it, actually...

I had no idea that this event was scheduled to take place. I couldn't care in the slightest about an event such as this, and I would imagine that had it just taken place and nobody talked about it, on the off chance that it even hit my radar I would have forgotten about it 5 minutes later and never gave it a single thought again in my life.

The most shocking thing I've learned today is that The Commodores are still a thing. Although I did just look it up and I was sad to see that this isn't because there was a reunion and Lionel wasn't back on the team. I guess they've always pretty much always been around all these years. Maybe playing state fairs and small venues. Good for them. Virtual anonymity, but being able to travel and do what you do best and love to do. Nice.

I also learned that in the right light and with his hair pulled back and a baseball cap on Bret Michaels looks like Kid Rock. I know it wasn't him because he wouldn't drop out, but I had to do a double-take. I think the below linked article did a great job at subliminally making people think that Kid Rock was a performer and that he dropped out by using the image of 3 of the artists with Michaels in the middle looking like Kid Rock and using the following text in the sub-title: "Musicians expected to perform at the event celebrating America's 250th birthday are dropping out left and right."

Left and Right. You get it?

Martina McBride was somebody. I remember her name. I think she had a hit or two on the radio in my young years that I couldn't stand listening to.

Who's Young MC again? Oh. Right. He did Bust a Move. That was a banger at my 7th grade dance.

The living half of Milli Vanilli hasn't made up their mind on whether you're going to be able to see them lip synch their hits from 35 years ago.

Morris Day and the Time?

Wake me up when Otis Day and the Knights backs out.

Those who dance always seem crazy to those who can't hear the music.
