Not A Single Modern Celeb Could Be Bothered To Perform For America 250:
A-list, relevant celebrities should be falling over themselves to perform at this event.
Freedom 250 revealed its lineup of featured performers for The Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, and it’s … interesting to say the least.

For some reason, the promise at the bottom of the flier — “and many more!” — does not inspire much confidence.

To top it off, within 24 hours of the announcement, Morris Day and The Time, as well as Young MC, announced that they would not be performing after all, with Young MC specifically citing the “politically charged” nature of the event.

Just in case you thought that this might just be a rinky-dink sideshow to the real, government-sponsored celebration, no, Freedom 250 is the official public-private partnership working with the White House Task Force 250 and other federal entities to coordinate the festivities. And this is the best they could come up with.

While I’m sure there are some who are excited to hear their billionth playback of “Ice, Ice Baby” or watch Milli or Vanilli lip sync, it doesn’t take a music critic to recognize that the music industry is not sending its best to this event.

Rather than get some washed-up has-beens who haven’t been relevant in years, they could make the effort of getting some unknown artists who actually have conservative principles and real talent. They’re everywhere in Nashville. You can find them in any bar on Broadway or Music Row.

There are plenty of talented conservative performers who may not have the name recognition but are nonetheless itching at the chance to show their talent on a national stage and honor their country. If big-name celebrities aren’t willing to honor our country, then the Trump administration should have made the effort to find normal people who would and show off the homegrown talent that abounds in America.

It’s slightly concerning that they couldn’t even get an old reliable like Lee Greenwood or Kid Rock to headline, but, more importantly, it’s a national embarrassment that not a single modern, mainstream celebrity can be bothered to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

It’s America 250. A-list, relevant celebrities should be falling over themselves to perform at this event, and they would be if a Democrat were president, assuming (and that’s a big assumption) a Democrat would hold a celebration at all.

Of course, it’s all about politics. No chart-topping star with leftist bona fides (i.e. virtually all of them) would be caught dead performing on the National Mall because “Orange Man Bad,” regardless of the significance of the event. Even the very few moderates or closet conservatives likely won’t take the risk of performing for the American people because they fear professional retaliation, simply because a Republican who has a mandate from the voters sits in the White House. The brand managers for these celebrities will no doubt post obligatory patriotic platitudes on Independence Day, but they’ll either point to America’s diversity as its strength or contain all the sincerity of Mike Pence’s latest National Review article.

The fact is, we have a large subsection of the population, including the vast majority of those who occupy the highest levels of entertainment and the media — institutions which play a vital role in molding our country’s perception of itself — who despise this nation and rue its impending birthday. --->READ MORE HERE
