The Metro will have to stay open until 2:00 a.m. to handle the crowd.

Don't worry, Republicans, the congressman who refuses to use straws "because that's what the women in my house use" is going to organize a real kick-ass concert for everyone

In a message to Trump, Tim Burchett says he will lead the charge to round up talent to perform at Freedom 250 after most artists canceled. He suggests Kid Rock, John Rich, Lee Greenwood as well as some random bands from Nashville.

8. Kid Rock can't even sell tickets to his tour which includes some actual talented artists.

He just cut ticket prices in half because nobody bought any, and they're still not selling. Lee Greenwood hasn't had a record hit even the Country charts in 25 years. There is literally nobody who wants to see Lee Greenwood perform. John Rich is the less talented half of country duo Big & Rich. His partner Big Kenny is not MAGA and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Again, I can't imagine anyone excited for John Rich. If thats the best they can do, they'll be lucky to attract 1,000 people.

I remember when I was in middle school and we had a new music teacher whose name was Mr. McNeill. On the first day of orchestra practice he announced, "Country music is not music. As a bassoonist, I wanted to applaud.
