It is strange why the Trump inaugural team is still searching for top-flight talent to book for his inauguration, especially at this late date.
They already claim they’ve gotten the best in the world: Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, Jackie Evancho, (as of 01-17 Sam Moore of the '60s soul duo Sam & Dave) the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Rockettes. The only way that could be topped would be to have the USA Freedom Girls perform. They were such a big hit last year in Pensacola and Trump had so many nice things to say about them, why not ask them for a command performance at his swearing in ceremony?
Oh sure the Freedom Girls manager/creator Jeff Popick reported that neither he nor the girls were compensated by the Trump team for the kid's stage show in Pensacola on January 13, 2016, reimbursed for travel or even allowed to set up a table at a couple of rallies to sell their CDs and merchandise. But anyone who’s followed Donald Trump very long knows this is not the first time Trump has purportedly stiffed people for services rendered. It’s a price one has to pay if they deal with Donald Trump.
Mr. Popick did file a lawsuit against the Trump campaign in July 2016 and it looked like he’d get his day in a South Florida court…until Trump won the election. Then, discretion being the better part of valor, he dropped the lawsuit on December 20, 2016. But don’t worry; he didn’t do it out of fear or concern for himself or the well-being of the girls. Just like former MI6 agent Christopher Steele didn’t go into hiding out of any fear or concern after his unsubstantiated report on Trump’s activities in Moscow in 2013 was released.
So here is a golden opportunity for Trump to show how magnanimous he can be by putting those cute little pre-teen girls doing their weirdly North Korean propaganda-like singing and dancing routine on the national stage. They could even have all the Rockettes dress up in those American flag outfits to dance along behind the USA Freedom Girls. How much more A-list talent can you get than that?
Don’t forget they aren’t having some obscure band performing at the pre-inaugural event Thursday night, either. It will be the B Street Band…YES…the B STREET BAND, a tribute act that copies the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band like you were listening to a record. See, Bruce Springsteen and his band refused to have anything to do with Donald Trump, so hey, if you can't get the Boss, get someone who can sound like him. No one will know the difference. (Update Jan 17, 2017 - Singer Will Forte now says the B Street Band WILL NOT play at the pre-inaugural event out of respect to Bruce Springsteen's decision. So those who hired them will instead have to just play Springsteen records and the B Street Band won't need to worry about a potential lawsuit if the Trump team had stiffed them.) The pre-inaugural event people could replace the B Street Band with Tiffany Trump by having her sing her pop song “Like a Bird” for the crowd. No stone has been left unturned and no expense has been spared to make sure only the cream-of-the-crop, the biggest, most hhhuuuggge talent would be front and center at this event.
If all else fails put the artist everyone loves and respects, old Mr. Wang-Dang-Sweet-Poontang rocker Ted Nugent, on stage. Like Trump, the guy who recorded Cat Scratch Fever knows plenty about manhandling pussies. I just hope those little USA Freedom Girls aren't anywhere around.
