(115,836 posts)for disaster relief that would be on national TV, and you wanted to be sure a lot of people would tune in, which performers would you ask to participate? Bruce Springsteen or Ted Nugent? Sting or Meat Loaf? Jon Bon Jovi or Hank Williams, Jr.?
I rest my case...

(913 posts)I will say however that if Nugent, The Meat, or any other "Conservative" musician(s) wanted to perform and could do so without political antics, then hopefully they'll be invited; this is about helping people not pushing your ideology.

(7,774 posts)For the last several years, Sean Hannity and the Freedom Alliance charity have conducted Freedom Concerts across America. Theyve told you that they are raising money to pay for the college tuition of the children of fallen soldiers and to pay severely wounded war vets. And on Friday Night, Hannity will be honored with an award for this Outstanding Community Service by a Radio Talk Show Host at Talkers Magazines convention.
But its all a huge scam.

(16,093 posts)Who the hell cares? If they were concerned about what happened to the people effected by Sandy they would've offered to perform...but seeing as to how not one of them is listed, it's pretty clear to me that Nugent, Williams Jr. and Kid Rock could care less about what happened to the people of New Jersey and New York

But, I hear that the Lennon Sisters are still around. Maybe they can do a rip-roaring rendition -- in four-part harmony -- of Mockingbird Hill.
Naw!! Nobody wants to hear that. At least not since the 1950's.
And there's not enough room on stage for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
