http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=795&e=3&u=/eo/20050114/en_music_eo/15706

they got nothing. real artists wouldn't touch a chimpy inaugural concert with a 10 foot pole.

i like the part about kid rock being ousted because of the lyrics of one of his songs where he mentions barbara bush.

[KurtNYC]

1. Even these guys turned them down

[kedrys]

2. LOL! Thanks for the pic

Having nice flashbacks to fond childhood memories... :D

[Hobarticus]

5. Tra la la, tra la-la-la-la, tra-la la, la-la la-la la...

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Bush's second term makes me vomit on the floor...

Take it away!

[Solly Mack]

7. Loved that show!!!!

[WolverineDG]

dg

[riverwalker]

3. they listed Ben Stein as "comedian"

wasn't he Nixon's speechwriter? Comedian! Oh yeah, they'll be rolling in the aisles.

[spunky]

13. He's actually kinda funny. I used to love Win Ben Stein's Money n/t

[Feathered Fish]

4. Duff, JoJo, Estavan and Studdard

Wow. That's going to be one crappy show. Well, he never was a supporter of the arts. It's all about commercialism. :puke:

[flygal]

8. Egg-zackly!

And since I found out what a fan of * Kelsey Grammar is - he can forget me ever buying the Fraiser dvds.

[Feathered Fish]

10. No kidding.

At first I was hoping that he maybe just needed a paycheque, but I can't condone that kind of whoring.

[pdxmom]

23. I certainly hope no one has to pay for tickets to this.

Talk about government waste!

[donsu]

25. Gloria & husband part of Miami mafia cubans

other artists can tell you what kind of people they are

[Feathered Fish]

26. Yeah?

I don't know much about them but I really think that as musicians, they are terrible. Do you have some sort of a link to this info? Or is it just kind of a known thing?

[donsu]

29. something made the papers a couple of yrs. ago, concerning

husband not paying musician for work, claiming work was his. something along that line.

they are very cozy with the bushgang

husband won the case

[Siyahamba]

37. Who's the sponsor, Radio Disney?

[AlCzervik]

6. That looks like the most boring time ever.

[Clark2008]

36. The most entertaining thing will be to watch for the orange

in the crowd and, of course, to watch all the eggs fly and the people turn their backs in shame of the fraudulent kingboy.

[gatorboy]

9. Heh! Well they certainly didn't spend the 40 mil on talent...

EOM

[PST]

11. JoJo?? 3 Doors Down??

who are these people?

[Tinoire]

31. 3 Doors Down?!!!! An AWESOME group. Shit! Will never buy another

of their albums again now.

You must know them:

KRYPTONITE

I took a walk around the world to
ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
side of the moon
I feel there is nothing i can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the
dark side of the moon
after all I knew it had to be something
to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
as long as you'll my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
if I'm alive and well, will you be
there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
kryptonite

(snip)


Or the more recent song:

HERE WITHOUT YOU

A hundred days had made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder
And I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello
I hear this life is overrated but I hope it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

(snip)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. Well that really sucks.

I like them. Not buying another CD of theirs. If nothing else I am a woman of principals.

[Tinoire]

35. Really sucks is right

:(

Urgh...

3 Doors Down has accomplished a lot in its brief existence, but Arnold says the best experience was performing for U.S. troops in Europe and the Middle East a few months a go.

"I was on stage 150 yards from the Persian Gulf, and I like to touch every body of water that I go near, and someone said, 'Don't put your hand in that, dude. That water is nasty.' But we went to places that I never thought I would see. It was amazing. We played on the deck of an aircraft carrier on the coast of Portugal. There's a lot of brave men out there."

So all of this travel has made Arnold pretty vocal about the war on terrorism.

"I think we should have taken care of this a long time ago, so we gotta take care of this now," he says. "I mean, people don't believe in war, but you really have to look at this. I was being interviewed by some guy in Germany, and he said, 'Do you know some people think George Bush is a bigger threat than Saddam Hussein?' and I said, 'What the *$#@ are you talking about? You have to realize we are the daddy of the world. And the daddy can't be the nice guy all of the time. If we don't take care of things like this, we won't pay as a country; we'll pay for it as a world."

Pride, Shame, Confusion Abound As War Reactions Surface
03.20.2003

Brad Arnold, like his 3 Doors Down bandmates, has been outspoken in his support of the soldiers, but he doesn't want to see mass destruction. "I have all the confidence in the world in our troops," he said. "Nobody wants war, short of someone who's insane. We all know what war brings, and that's what we're gonna try to minimalize. We don't want any loss of life, we just want an evil man gone."

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1470668/20030320/story.jhtml

[Lone_Star_Dem]

38. You know what?

There are a lot of better bands out there to support. Ones that actually have working brains. I don't mind letting this one go in light of the current turn toward the sheeple mentality. It's a shame they drank the kool-aid.

I'm sure it will be reflected in their new music anyway. :puke:

[Tinoire]

41. There are... I just had a 'sentimental' attachment to them

because Kryponite was the favorite song of someone I cared for deeply before they went nuts.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. No reason not to enjoy their old stuff you already own.

I sure don't plan on have a CD purge at my house. LOL! I'm just miffed and not going to purchase anything new by them. Like that's going to teach them a lesson. :eyes:

[mvd]

43. Ugh, I like them too

I can live without their future albums, though. They are no Pearl Jam, U2, Nirvana, or Stone Temple Pilots.

[Dhalgren]

12. "America's Future Rocks Today"?!

Are fucking kidding me? This administration is the most devoid of talent since...Cooledge? Not only could they not get any real talent for the shows, they couldn't even get promoters and producers with enough talent to even name the damned venues! Good gods, this is pitiful!

[tridim]

14. Yea, when I think of "rock" music I think "Miami Sound Machine"

Everything about BushCo is a joke. A very unfunny joke.

[Flying Dream Blues]

16. Where's Wayne Newton?

[LiberalinNC]

17. A show of has beens and who cares!

LMAO! Shitty show for a shitty wanna be president!

[Guns Aximbo]

18. I'm an insomniac

maybe i'll go there to get some sleep!

[LibDemAlways]

19. What a line up.

Notice the token hispanics and black guy. Are these people all down on their luck or what? Playing a gig for the chimp strikes me as the kiss of death.

[theboss]

20. Here's the scary part: The best inaugural concert ever was for Bush I

Lee Atwater was a serious fan of the blues and had:

Here is the lineup:

B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Percy Sledge, Joe Cocker, Delbert McClinton, Steve Cropper, Joe Louis Walker and Sam Moore.

I mean, wow!

[Alpharetta]

21. I wonder what Dale Earnhard Jr. thinks about 3 Doors Down playing

He had his crew watch "Farenheit 9/11". Not a big Bush fan.

But 3 Doors Down are his buddies.

[Oddly Stevenson]

24. Hope this doesn't bust any bubbles, but...

...I definitely received a call on election day featuring a recorded message from Dale Earnhardt Jr. urging me to get out and vote for "the Republican team." He didn't specifically mention *, but nearly anyone would have been left with the impression that he was supporting him. If he wasn't, he certainly demonstrated poor judgment in recording that specific message.

[theboss]

27. Junior said he was still going to vote for Bush

But that he thought Moore's film was worth seeing.

[Oddly Stevenson]

22. Hey....

..where the hell is Dexter Freebish?

[catmandu57]

28. It's going to be hard to fill up two hours

with this lineup, might be a bunch of uhms and ahs, christ why don't they just dig up old dead kate smith and gawd bless amerikka.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

30. Was Pat Boone booked?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

33. I still wish Kid Rock would have slipped in under the radar.

The fallout with the fundies would have been a 'must see TV' event. :D

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. So they wised up and kicked out Kid Rock?

Too bad, I was looking forward to the backlash from the right.

[lakelly]

39. ME Too.

I would have given anything to see the back lash on that one. Hey is Tony Orlando, with or without Dawn, available? That would be appropriate, don't you think? It really sucks about 3Doors Down. I like those guys. Oh well no more Cd's from them. Too Bad.

[proud2BlibKansan]

45. Tony Orlando

would probably get into trouble for singing that Yellow Ribbon song.

[Still_Loves_John]

40. His real name is Rob Ritchie?

Ha, thats the name of the Bush-a-like on the West Wing. Not that I have any idea what that means...

[Cozmosis]

42. hahaha what a lame lineup

bush.. :rolleyes:

[EVDebs]

46. Crosby Stills Nash & Young could have played Ohio, but lyrics like these

would have had them tossed like Kid Rock: See scoops' Vote Fraud in Ohio from www.oilempire.us
