BAWAWAWAWWAWAWA- "Why not ask Ted fucking Nugent?"

Despite earlier reports, Elton John will not be performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration. A rep for the singer confirmed the news to The Huffington Post via email on Wednesday.

Word got out that the iconic singer was reportedly performing at the president-elect’s inauguration in January after Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Trump’s transition team, revealed the news to the BBC.

“Elton John is going to be doing our concert on the Mall for the inauguration,” he said.

A few of John’s songs, including “Rocket Man” and “Tiny Dancer,” were played at Trump rallies throughout his campaign, much to the dismay of the “Crocodile Rock” singer.

“Elton’s music has not been requested for use in any official capacity by Donald Trump. Any use of his music should not be seen as an endorsement of Donald Trump by Elton,” a publicist for the singer said in a statement.

John himself has also spoken out about Trump using his music, telling The Guardian in February, “I don’t really want my music to be involved in anything to do with an American election campaign. I’m British.”

“I’ve met Donald Trump, he was very nice to me, it’s nothing personal, his political views are his own, mine are very different, I’m not a Republican in a million years,” he added. “Why not ask Ted fucking Nugent? Or one of those fucking country stars? They’ll do it for you.”


Perhaps Trump should take his advice here.

I think he sort of thinks that somehow he can attract wealthy classy entertainers and stuff, but I think that he's not realizing that red neck peckerwoods who hate classiness education and culture are his main base.

Here's my list for him.

Ted Nugent
Charlie Daniels
Kid Rock
Toby Keith
Lynard Skynard

A few years ago, Elton played Rush Limbaugh's wedding for about a million dollars.

The honor of playing for you at your inauguration is not enough Mr. Trump, your will have to pay up.

“I’ve met Donald Trump, he was very nice to me, it’s nothing personal, his political views are his own, mine are very different, I’m not a Republican in a million years,” he added. “Why not ask Ted fucking Nugent? Or one of those fucking country stars? They’ll do it for you"

Why do I get the idea that NYC trump is an unlikely country fan? Probably irks him that is who he is stuck with or has beens like nugget or kiddie rock

Several B-Grade (the standard for Country Music) "stars" turned down Romney during the campaign as he would not pay them.
Liberal artists don't want the money. They do it for the cause because they are of a higher caliber.
