So, the Kleptocrat & Co. are taking over the National Mall to perpetrate something they’re calling the Great American State Fair as part of his notion of a 250th birthday celebration of US independence. It runs from 25 June to 10 July (following the 14 June UFC match taking place at the White Trash House, to celebrate his 80th birthday. You may recall that last year he commandeered the US Army to stage a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue for the occasion; it did not whelm).
I don’t know exactly what this particular clown show is
about; their PR says something about “the future of AI” and a 110ft ferris
wheel. It’s meant to be an extravaganza with all 56 states and territories represented,
but I’m imagining it hasn’t been especially well organized.
Viz: this is the stated lineup of performers, as released
Wednesday:
I mean—it’s kind of a second-chance for a lot of these 20th
Century performers, but half of Milli Vanilli is dead, so maybe there will be
some kind of séance element?
As of yesterday, Morris Day and the Time, Young MC, The Commodores and C+C Music Factory have announced they are not, in fact, going to perform. Oh—and Milli Vanilli (Millo Vanillo?) claim they were never contacted about the gig. (And, Martina—girl, run!)
So our earworm for today is Morris Day and The Time, performing “Jungle Love” from Purple Rain.
