Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Freedom 250/Twitter

Today, something called Freedom 205 announced a concert series at the National Mall in DC around July 4th to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

They took Prince’s words to heart, as in they booked artists that would have been cool to party with in 1999.

Who are these acts? They are: Martina McBride, Young MC, C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, The Commodores, Morris Day & The Time, Flo Rida, and Bret Michaels.

Well, I guess they didn’t clear it with everyone because Morris Day took to social media and wrote, “Contrary To Rumor, Morris Day & The Time Will Not Be Perfoming At The ‘GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR.'”

And he is not the only one. Young MC wrote, “I HAVE INFORMED MY AGENTS THAT I WILL NOT BE PERFORMING AT THE FREEDOM 250 EVENT.

“The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event. And despite the claims by the organizers that the event is non- partisan, SPIN magazine describes it as Trump-backed”. I hope to perform in D.C. in the near future at an event that is not so politically.”

Finally, Freedom Williams from C+C Music Factory clarified things in his recorded message. He said that his agent called him three months ago and asked if he wanted to play DC. However, he never explained what it was for. As soon as he realized that it was associated with donald trump, he didn’t break a sweat and pulled out from performing.

As of Wednesday night, none of the other musicians listed have posted anything about performing at the Great American State Fair. Therefore, I think that a few more will drop out.

However, I am sure that Rob Pilatus of Milli Vanilli will still go live. Too soon?

Seriously, am I the only one who didn’t know that some of these acts were still together and touring? I really thought a few of them didn’t make it past the millennium, like C+C.

On that note, some of these names are so on par for this administration because of their scandals. Milli Vanilli and C+C Music Factory used “prettier faces” to be the faces for the real people singing their songs. Vanilla Ice was sued for sampling Queen and David Bowie’s Pressure in Ice, Ice Baby. And Bret Michaels thinking he is better than his Poison bandmates.

Gotta love Meidas Trump, turning everything into shit with his touch.

UPDATE: Vanilla Ice confirmed he will be performing, “This is going to be epic. America 250 put your dancing shoes on everyone is a teenager for the night.”

So yesterday, I was going to write that I had a theory that Vanilla Ice was behind the lineup because he is friends with trump and told him to book. And this makes me think I was correct.

On Friday night, Bret Micheals Waterloo, NY. And it took everything he had.

“Last night at del Lago Resort & Casino, the fans could not have been better & more understanding as I was having a struggle with dehydration and my diabetes all day – from being under the weather, tested for Covid twice (negative both times) – I mustered up every bit of energy to do the show & leave it all on this stage,” the Poison singer wrote. “Immediately following the show, I went to the hospital, where the staff, doctors, nurses and all of the frontline workers could not have been better. Honestly, their combination of professionalism & great personalities as sick and dehydrated as I was feeling was unbelievable. They reacted very quickly and it was incredible.”

Due to his hospitalization, he cancelled yesterday’s performance. Hopefully, he is feeling better and ready to Rock out again with his Parti Gras tour soon!

The Nebraska Humane Society rescued three kittens who were infested with fleas. One of them lost so much blood that it needed a transfusion. But it would take time to find a feline match. So they needed a dog to do it. Because did you know canines can donate to cats?

And that is where Bret Michaels comes in. Not that Bret Michaels, but the 6-year-old husky who is also in the shelter. Being the good boy that he is, he gave his blood and saved that kitty’s life.

Well, when Bret Michaels, that Bret Michaels, heard that story, he decided he wanted to adopt that hero dog. So he did.

And now Bret Michaels, the dog, gets his Rock Star ending with plenty of bandanas to wear.

If you want to adopt the kitty and his two siblings, who Bret Michaels the dog saved, they are available for you to take home and love.

The moral of this story is to name the pets who need homes after famous people so that they will adopt them. Well, I wouldn’t name any of the dogs after Michael Vick, but other than that, we are good.

On June 30th, Bret Michaels pulled out of a Poison concert at the last minute. Instead of going on stage, he was rushed to the hospital.

There were many rumors about what happened to him, including an injury or COVID-19, but the singer hasn’t said what caused him to be hospitalized.

Today, Michaels explained why his continuing health issues are causing him to cancel his upcoming meet and greets for the foreseeable future.

“Everyday, I’m doing all I can to stay healthy and get on that stage, including IV’s and all meds including insulin,” Michaels wrote. “I’ve waited 2 years for this awesome tour but, under strict doctor’s advisement due to the combination of severe dehydration, diabetes, no rest and several other factors, I unfortunately will not be able to attend several of the upcoming meet & greets which I love doing, but I highly encourage you to meet the other guys, as they are awesome.”

Hopefully, the singer will be better soon because his fans deserve Nothin’ But A Good Time.

Poison was supposed to play with Joan Jett, Def Leppard, and Mötley Crüe tonight in Nashville, but they pulled out at the last minute because Bret Michaels was hospitalized.

There were rumors that the singer tested positive for COVID-19 or that he fell and injured himself.

After a few hours of silence, Michaels gave an update to his fans. “To the incredible fans in Nashville, thank you for all your well wishes!! I was truly fired up to get on stage in the Music City and perform, but due to an unforeseen medical complication & following hospitalization, it was not possible,” the 59-year-old wrote. “I send my deepest apologies for being unable to rock the stage tonight!!! I’m working on being back 100% very soon & hope you rocked hard with my friends Motley/Leppard, Joan and Classless Act!!!”

Michaels suffers from type-1 diabetes. Hopefully, he will get better soon and be back on the road with the other musicians on the ticket.
