Breitbart

Step forward Canadian-born Neil Young, Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers as well as Indigo de Souza, Jeff Rosenstock, the Red Pears and Raise Gospel Choir. More

  1. Pete Seeger and David Crosby are both dead and phony Joanie is still as phony now as she was back in the 60’s when Al Capp in Lil. Abner called her that. I thought that Neil Young was afraid that Trump was going to arrest him as an illegal immigrant from Canada if he came into the US. Maybe these idjits should channel John Lennon from the dead to sing Imagine for them.

  2. Maybe they should also invite what’s left of the Grateful Dead to sing A friend of the devil is a friend of mine or Jefferson Airplane to sing White Rabbit for them since most of the fools attending this fighting oligarchy concert are aging dumbass baby bummers and their worthless progeny while they all get high from smoking weed and taking hallucinogenics. Far out man, the 60’s ended 55 years ago, get over it.

  3. …there’s an old story about how, when Eddie Money called Ronnie Specter to reprise “Be My Little Baby” in his song “Take Me Home Tonight” that he asked her what she was doing these days and she answered, “The dishes”.

    I wonder what Joan Baez’s response in that vein would be?

    And “Communism” and “Being Irrelevant” are too broad of answers, maybe “drugs” or “rotting physically and mentally” would be more accurate…

  4. Was KoЯn not available or they couldn’t afford them to play a set.

    I can’t think of any other pop act from this century that anyone would show up for. A lot of the entertainment used to draw dem voters are known more for the size of their booties than their talent or political convictions (i.e. the expect to be paid as well).

  5. Kinda of interesting, the OAC/Bernie road show is stopping by Placer County next Tuesday for a rally. Placer County borders my county and the demographics are almost identical. Very Conservative. I think both counties went for Trump by way over a 10% margin. During last Saturdays demonstrations they bused a bunch of libtards anarchists into Auburn and there were reports on social media of gangs of libtards pulling people out of cars and trucks that had Trump stickers on them. Why are the targeting a ultra conservative county? Good way to get your ass shot off.
    I think Chalupa lives in Auburn. Be interesting to hear his take.

    “SNS – Al died in Fityfi so he couldn’t make that gig.”

    …you are technically correct.

    …however, in my defense, I will argue that Joan Baez’s career died a MUCH younger death than Al Piantadosi did, so putting her mummified act on display in 2025 is actuallt MORE macabre than putting Al’s 14 years gone disinterred remains on a hippie stage for one last war protest ever COULD be, an it would be more pleasant to look at AND less annoying to boot…
