Donald Trump Says 'Cancel It' Amid Backlash Over Freedom 250 Concerts

Image
President Donald Trump  called for organizers of Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair concerts to “cancel” upcoming concerts due to artists dropping out . “I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President,” Trump, 79, wrote via TruthSocial on Saturday, May 30. Martina McBride , Bret Michaels , Young MC and Morris Day and the Time have all pulled out of scheduled shows at the 16-day festival in Washington D.C. celebrating America’s 250th birthday over organizer Freedom 250’s connections to the Trump administration. Freedom 250 describes its events as “non...

Two Kanye West shows in the Netherlands are set to go ahead next week, despite widespread cancellations of his shows across the rest of Europe. READ MORE:   Donda 2: Kanye West’s ego is scuppering these half-baked, dashed-off sounding songs The rapper, who now goes by Ye, released his new album ‘ Bully ’ in March and had been due to play a world tour in support of the new record, but his booking to headline all three nights of London’s Wireless Festival sparked an enormous backlash over his previous anti-Semitic comments.

Since then, shows in  Switzerland ,  Poland  and  France have also been cancelled, although a handful will go ahead, including one in Albania and two recently confirmed g...

Bruce Springsteen slams Donald Trump’s $1.8billion fund for “people who attacked” Capitol: “An American outrage”

Image
Bruce Springsteen has slammed Donald Trump ‘s so-called “anti-weaponisation fund”, calling it an “American outrage” while onstage recently. READ MORE:  ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’ review: a bruising boss of a biopic At a Washington DC concert on Wednesday night (May 27), the heartland rocker tore into the Justice Department’s recently announced plan to allocate nearly $1.8billion to those who have “suffered weaponisation and lawfare”. Many of Trump’s detractors have speculated that the fund will likely be used by the insurrectionists who faced legal consequences for their part in the January 6 riots on Capitol Hill — some 1,600 of whom were pardoned by Trump on his first day back in office last year. “We have a president who wants to create a $1.8billion fund to compensate and reward people who attacked our nation’s Capitol,” the Boss lamented between songs at Nationals Park stadium. “[They] attacked our democracy. Assaulted our police officers...

Boards Of Canada and Warp Records hit out at Trump White House for using their music in social media video

Image
Boards Of Canada and Warp Records have hit out at the White House for using their music on one of their social media videos. READ MORE: Boards of Canada – ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’ The elusive Scottish duo’s music was heard over the top of a new video shared by Donald Trump’s administration on Instagram, which showed eerie clips of American flags blowing in the wind, a border patrol boat, and detention centres. The song that soundtracked the clip was Boards Of Canada’s ‘Deep Time’, which features on their new album ‘Inferno’ and was previously released under the title ‘Tape 05.’. That record is their first in 13 years and released today (Friday May 29). Interestingly, the aesthetic used in the video from the White House is distinctively similar to that used by the band – appearing like it was filmed on crackly, static VHS. Following numerous fans commenting on the video, tagging the band and asking if they gave permission for the White House to use their music, the Scottish group ...

Martina McBride Drops Out of Trump’s State Fair After ‘Misleading’ Promises

Image
Martina McBride announced that she is dropping out of President Donald Trump ’s Great American State Fair after allegedly being told “misleading” information about the intentions of the event. “I would like to talk to you and clear the air. I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading,” McBride, 59, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 28. She added, “I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states. In my mind, I thought this was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in the way that only music can. I saw it as just a bigger version of so many state fairs I have performed at over the years, celebrating community and what makes each state special. Sounds fun, right? Wholesome even.” The country legend said she quickly changed her mind about taking the stage w...

READ MORE:   Foo Fighters – ‘Your Favorite Toy’ review: back to brawny basics The song was released by the cult Scottish indie band in 1988 on their ‘Dying For It’ EP and was brought to international attention when covered by Nirvana on their legendary ‘MTV Unplugged In New York’ live album in 1994, under the tweaked title ‘Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam’. On Saturday (May 23),  Dave Grohl , who played on the ‘MTV Unplugged’ version, revisited the song when he led the Foos in a rendition during their set at BottleRock Napa Valley in California.

Mackenzie Shirilla's Late Boyfriend Addressed Mortality In Newly Revealed Text

Mackenzie Shirilla ’s boyfriend Dominic Russo allegedly addressed his mortality four weeks prior to her 2022 car crash that killed him. According to a Tuesday, May 26, report by TMZ , Russo, who died at the age of 20 in a high-speed crash caused by Shirilla, 21, sent the convicted killer a text that read, “Kenzie you know I love you but I don’t think we should be together at this point, there isn’t very much time on earth,” before his death. Shirilla, who is the subject of Netflix’s The Crash documentary and currently serving two concurrent life sentences behind bars as a result of the incident, has maintained that the July 2022 crash was the result of blacking out behind the wheel due to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Her friend Davion Flanagan also died as a result of the incident. (POTS is described by the Cleveland Clinic as a condition that affects transitioning from “lying down to standing up, such as a fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue.”) The out...
