On Wednesday, reports emerged that Team Trump had snagged yet another highly sought after act for his inauguration ceremony -- AMERICA'S #1 BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN COVER BAND, "The B Street Band." Naturally, everyone was very impressed. I mean, there are a
Worse than the fourth quarter of a 55-10 super bowl. How will they fill the time?
"I understand they import special asphalt from Pennsylvania for this stretch of the Parade Route, Jim."
"Um, yeah. That's right, Bob. The dolomite of that region is known to produce really smooth topcoats. And speaking of top coats, check out the hammer and sickle pin on ..."
Close but no cigar. The $1.8 million red brick townhouse where many Rethuglicans hang their hats in DC is on C Street (among the alumni: Jim Demint, Sam Brownback, Tom Coburn, etc.) The New Yorker famously called it the GOP's "Frat House for Jesus." Most of us remember it because it's where the most evangelical of our Congressmen (and I do mean men) told Nevada Senator John Ensign that he needed to stop schtupping his chief-of-staff's wife because enough famous Republicans had already hiked the Appalachian Trail that year.
I say that every time Christie utters Bruce's name. That fool actually expected Bruce to play to celebrate the opening of a new casino in Atlantic City that was built with non-union labor. If I remember correctly, Bruce didn't even favor the governor with a reply.
I wondered what all the fuss was about who was going to "play" at the inauguration. I was picturing them marching down the street in a parade. I should have known, as my namesake Jukes played at inaugural balls in both '08 and '12. They've also entertained at quite a few of the events the administration held for veterans returning from the Middle East. I can't believe there are six bands in all of rock and roll that would show up for this shitstorm that's going down next week.
I saw H&O last summer for the first time. Only because they were sharing a bill with Sharon Jones ... and PRAISE JEEESUS I got to see her one last time before she was taken from us. (Her death always gets left off the Fuck 2016 lists). To my surprise, they were quite entertaining and I was shocked at how many H&O songs I recognized, given I never bought a single one of their recordings. Those dudes are radio kings. Their stuff was apparently emblazoned on my brain without me even knowing it. They haven't lost any musical skills (maybe even gained some) and their back-up band was absolutely first-rate. Trombone Shorty and his band opened the show and if you don't know their work, check them out. They laissez les bons temps rouler, big time.
They cancelled - just out on Rolling Stone Magazine. They won't play at the inaugural as their music is a tribute to Springsteen (and hell would freeze over solid before Springsteen EVER played for Trump); they'll take their chances with potential litigation for breaking their contract. Bravo to the B Street Band!

I wear a Maltese cross at one of my uniquely American jerbs..
The real estate prices and traffic awful, the egg sammiches divine.

Those two can't even spell class.
Mitt Romney is a Mormon big shot, right?
Wouldn't it be sad if, after Mitt's ritual humiliation at the hands of The Donald, the MTC cancelled at the last minute?
EDIT: What is the # 1 Mormon Tabernacle Choir cover band?

The Osmonds.
Trump shouldn't have stiffed the "USA Freedom Kids". They would have been the headline act in this line up.
The Spinoff show of Mad Men is "C Men" and they are Sacred too. also. No lie...
And then the Nazis would rise from the Reflecting Pool?

... just the "ass" part. If you give them enough time. And spot them 2 letters.
In support of your premise, I submit that one Tim Pawlenty once claimed to be a Springsteen fan.
