Bret Michaels pulls out of Freedom 250 concert series

Mr. Business59

Didn’t have to, wasn’t a part of any tradition or expectation was just “pleasured” to do so.

tbraysgirl10.bsky.social37

Good for him, but it shouldn’t have been a “difficult decision “

Fight The Sadistocracy27

Bret Michael is not quitting because he thinks the Magguh Lord is toxic. He’s quitting so he can cry about “death threats” and generate some right-wing victim stories for their media consumption.

Resistance Daily Mission24

It is time for celebrity worship to end. Find value in who YOU are, not someone you want to be. Celebrity is toxic.

Cindy Arnevik17

Their responses all sound exactly the same. They must have had the same lawyer write them for them to ensure they don’t get sued or hit with phony investigations by DOJ

Mary Mahling Carns ✍️ 🎨16

They want black people to play but they don't want black people to vote.

TheRasmussen15

The locker room will always be awkward, but the first time his helmet is turned into a lawn tiller, he's going to catch a few eyes looking into his.

ghlori.bsky.social14

OMG -I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that Yam Tits and his MAGA handlers totally misrepresented themselves and their intentions and actually LIED about their end game. Betcha these two are available - give 'em a ring. They'll fit right in with the trailer trash that'll be at this shitshow🤨🤨🤨

Benjamin Moser12

The starting QB of a city that voted 65% Blue in the presidential election. Smart Choice!

Gwen11

Brett M. Seriously, you believe you can celebrate our country without getting "political"? Under another president maybe but not one who has glorified those who killed veterans and police January 6th. There's nothing but anarchy to celebrate here. Kudos to those who refuse to play the current circus

Matt9

Nobody decent gives a fuck about this stupid clown show at the White House and will be ignoring it and having our own thing.

Angela Taylor8

Humiliating is what it is!

Terry Trueman7

If Trump didn't make everything about himself and AGAINST his enemies (real and imagined), his festival might have worked, but he can't control his rage, hate, and negativity, so it'll always be just him and Kid Rock. ETTD

ellensirius.bsky.social6

the giants made a mistake

Momo6

How difficult is it to decide to not attach your name/brand to fascism? Good job, Brett.

robertus6

My sports fandom is a wasteland that stretches from the horizon to the hills. The shining beacon in the distance is somehow the New York Knicks.

SL Sports6

Remember that Jaxson Dart is the only one allowed to exercise First Amendment rights

Draxcat4

Thank you Bret from one of your long time fans. So glad you are not going to be part of this disgraceful spectacle.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW4

My Rookie QB chose to stay with the team to study and practice when the Hoosiers went to the WH!

Resistateveryturn3

Sounds like the McBride post. Same agent??

Pacific Blues3

So it’s down to Vanilla Ice then

Stoic in Wisco3

The modal NFL and MLB fan is a toxic male trash can who gets more joy hating on others than actually enjoying the sports. Most fans will be fine as long as someone doesn’t take a knee in protest. I used to give NFL/MLB thousands$$$ per year, now I spend on college hoops, WNBA, and concerts.

imnotplayingcards.bsky.social3

Not that I’m a Bret Michaels fan but this is pretty common sense - they only want boot licking types for the ridiculous 250th POTUS party he’ll be having for himself - the rest can have his MAGA base on attack - DC likely can’t hold more large photos of the man who thinks he’s king - but he’ll try!

@wayneslaven.bsky.social2

Is this for both of his fans?

kitty877.bsky.social2

In the end they'll only have Kid Rock again...

wahusk.bsky.social2

The Giants cannot imagine that.

Cajun2

I didn’t think Bret Michaels pulled out of anything.

JstReveln2

What a Gutless Wonder. He agreed to work for this administration with full knowledge of who they are and what they are doing, and either didn't care or actually supports them. Now that he's faced backlash over his poor choice he tries to pretend he's been living under a rock the last 494 days. 🖕

Made in Maine2

When you lose a guy who can’t fill a high school gymnasium, you know it’s toxic

mnlib69.bsky.social2

He doesn’t want to join a Nazifest, Trump Cult hate rally? But why?🤷🏻‍♂️

PassThePasta2

He’s become the Vanilla Ice of football.

buythebeachdonald.bsky.social2

Guess we'll end up with Kid Rock, Scott Baiao and Lee Greenwood, per usual.

noahs-arc0602.bsky.social2

Boom , who is left !

Judy2

Surely there must be some washed-up lounge singers out there who will step up

ptpdrhirosru2

What if they gave a party and no one showed up?

Susanne/AJ2

Glad he's loud about it. They should all be. Put those hats on, wear them all the time. Which franchise doesn't support this regime? I bet his offensive line will get a talking to tho.

danablankenhorn.bsky.social2

I'd rather have Michael Vick and a dog.

Skibidi Rat87

Milli Vanilli announced they will not be not singing their songs.

Tim Ellis 🍁79

An entertainer has to know how to read a crowd and a billionaire doesn't lol

Fabian Donato44

Girl You Know It's Coup Blame It On Hussein

P.L. Rock27

Seems clear that Bret and everyone else was lied to by the organizers about the nature of the event and backed out pretty quickly when they found out the truth. Cuban, on the other hand, really likes Donald Trump and thinks he's doing a great job.

Julia Is Waving, Not Drowning27

it's almost like rich people are primarily lucky and not actually wiser than the rest of us

Joe is Me16

Did Bret drop out? So now this becomes the busiest night of Vanilla Ice's career.

fluttermouse 🦇13

I wish we'd had time to make a betting pool about what order the Freedom 250 performers would pull out. I would have lost though because I would have bet on Bret Michaels being the last one standing.

Ben Says Abolish ICE11

At this point I think billionaires are starting to realize they're all incredibly lucky morons and associate their own ability to stave off being dragged down into their own mediocrity with Trump's teflon nature. You can only do so many Metaverses and still have, like, any self-confidence left.

Neil Robertson 🏳️‍🌈11

Milli Vanilli’s still in! For now.

Jay Shaw9

Somehow I assume Mark will blame this on the Harris campaign

Mister Sterling9

The regime has zero cultural influence. This is why they can't cancel Pride, can't stop Trans civil rights, can't stop political correctness / woke. They simply cannot wish the United States back to 1850. Except in the sphere of public health. On that, they are winning the war to shorten lifespans.

djmicoh.bsky.social7

It would have been funny watching Trump trying to dance like Morris Day. It'd make a nice change from him doing the YMCA anyway.

sturgeonmouth6

Always worth posting in every Mark Cuban thread: "But I like Chris Christie and Nikki Haley. And honestly, if either one of them was pro choice, I’d probably actively support them." - Mark Cuban

ELIZE6

Mark Cuban's PR instincts are like Milli Vanilli's singing skills - a bit off-key

Rosie is Riveting 🧐🍀6

The idiotic timing of Mark Cuban jumping on board Trump’s grift-o-vomit bus, now.. poll numbers in the garbage, 3 wars and a never ending cycle of violence… tells me one thing and one thing only. Cuban has been told that he has a place in the underground bunker when Trump sets us all on fire.

sg1954.bsky.social5

The talent exodus from Trump’s state fair is a verdict. Performers read rooms. This one smells like defeat.

Civilization4

imagine booking acts for a 'show in Washington', and NOT telling them it was for Piggy Trump's fascist rally! they asked for the acts to pull out,. dumb.

Eric Malcolm3

I figured he was a scumbag once he started hard-shilling the AI junk (in which he also had a financial stake)

You could blame it on the rain, @mcuban.bsky.social

ApplesHardcoreYo3

Proof that no matter how big of a ahole he is or how much good you’ve been perceived to have done, rich folks will always stick together. They protect each other. That’s why none of them can be trusted.

badgerbluebelle2

When you’re a billionaire asshole you don’t give a rip about PR. See these examples. Other billionaire assholes.

Trump/GOP=Nazis. Stand w🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇬🇪🇵🇸🇨🇦🇪🇺🇨🇭2

Milli Vanilli admitted they were faking it. Cuban has not.

saint-timonious.bsky.social2

We can see the damage done by AI Psychosis and AI Sycophancy, but not Billionaire Yes Men, even though they are literally the same problem.

Jay70

my favorite one is the Milli Vanilli guy not even knowing that he was booked for the event until he saw it on TV. No one ever asked him

Matt 🇨🇦🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈42

It's literally called "Freedom 250". How did they not think that would be a Trumpified politically motivated event?

Steve35

Kid Rock is gonna have to consider a double set of extended classics. Joy upon joy

txsilverbear.bsky.social34

Yeah this “oh I didn’t know” excuse isn’t flying. They’re backing out because they lose much more money by fans telling them to fuck off than what they would make by performing at HeilFest.

David King34

Surely Kash Patel will be able to persuade his singer girlfriend to appear if he promises to fly her in on the FBI's private jet.

MissyCat21

I'm not going to waste my time reading all of this but he's incorrect. It is political! You either support this fascist administration or you believe in freedom for Americans. People will remember. #Freedom250

Ahad18

Artists aren't stupid. They see the "Trump-backed" label and run. The fact that so many acts are bailing proves this was never about honoring the troops. It was about using them as a backdrop for a campaign event. Good for Bret Michaels for calling it out.

vaguely17

we're gonna get 3 straight days of Lara screeching into a mic

Lady P of Soggy Bottom16

Blooming love all this 🤣🤣

texas63.bsky.social16

Everyone needs to know "Freedom 250" is Trump's vanity project. "America 250" is the official celebration for our country and has been in the works for years.

WILLIAM STLUCIA😎13

I hope everybody backs out.And those who don't need to be boycotted and blacklisted🤬

Damon Mast12

I’m shocked Bret Michaels cancelled. He won a season of The Celebrity Apprentice. I assumed he was in to the end with Vanilla Ice.

AmyW12

This is going the exact same way that booking acts for the Kennedy center went when Trump put his name on the structure. You would think they would have learned. Plus, creative ppl don’t really like it when the admin threatens to get them kicked off gigs for what they decide to say or sing.

vickithebest.bsky.social9

Yes! This is not a normal admin with dif opinions and policies. This is TOTAL bs worth BOYCOTTING

Phil Yabut8

Waiting for "...and many more!" to announce they are backing out.

kcone1.bsky.social8

I HIGHLY doubt that this event was ever presented as "honoring our veterans, active military, first responders, and teachers." Trump hates all of them.

John Shea 🍀8

Every single one of these people has to cancel. This is just a political stunt by the #pedophile_trump

Mark Brandriss7

Freedom 250 is a joke. Here's a headline on the Freedom 250 "News" page: "Freedom 250 Announces First Round of Star-Studded Entertainment & Activations for the Great American State Fair". Come enjoy the activations! freedom250.org/news/first-r...

It’s the new Fyre Fest and it hasn’t even started yet

Looks like has-beens and Trump lovers Kid Rock and Ted Nugent should start rehearsing then. 🤣

Kat K 🐾🐾5

It seems that Kid Rock will be the only ‘artist’ at this event - unless Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain have formed a band recently.

George Balbona5

Bret Michaels just threw Trump under the bus — the Rock of Love Bus, of course!!! FTR!!!

thebestpotato.bsky.social4

How can these Idiots posibly have believed that anything Trump does is not part of the Trump grift.

SavvyTruffle 🎓🍄 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👨‍👩‍👦🐕😎📖🖋💊🎸🚴〽🏈☮💙4

You're under pressure now, Robert Van Winkle. Do something original and join the out crowd before you get iced out by your few remaining fans.

I, state your name3

So ... Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood

Tin Miner3

YMCA on loop, anybody!?!? 🤔

Human Resources Pufnstuf3

Am I the only one who is being a bit cynical here? I'm not suggesting most of them signed up for a Trump Rally or something, but c'mon, just the event details screamed propaganda op. And the coordinated cancellations *and* press releases, which seem written by the same PR (or legal) advisor....

kcone1.bsky.social3

He should have known better. Perhaps backlash from fans is the real reason. If you don't know who Darth Marmalade is by now, you're a willful participant in hie twisted game of hate and destruction. Brett gains no points from me.

Randy Herman3

Wow when you lose Bret Michaels...

I have a very hard time believing that people couldn't see what they were agreeing to, until it blew back in their face. Really?!?!?!

Laura Trump might be available lol.

sagansghost.bsky.social2

So bad press. Got it 👍.

JoRobLo2

I'm so happy Trump doesn't own everybody

dalidaisy2

Read the post. He's saying he's received threats & is backing out for safety reasons. Don't congratulate him for declining because he doesn't want to be associated with the current administration. He's backing out because he's scared.

Jon2

America 250 is celebrating the past because our future is at stake. I see no cause for celebration. July 4th should be the largest and loudest No Kings Rally

🔯🏳️‍🌈Stay Woke - Tikkun Olam2

Can wealthy Democrats & democratic states put together events for the 250 year anniversary of this country? Those of us who aren't corrupt, bigoted members of the KKK Republican regime would like to celebrate it.

It was so embarrassing that the promoters wouldn't even tell the artists who the event was associated with

burdsandwurds12

at this rate, even the wedding dj they found on craigslist is going to bail on them

FUPA Troopa10

At this rate they're gonna have to try and book Kid Rock to play his entire discography in order

Dag.7

Now listen Not a dime, I can't pay my rent I can barely make it through the week Saturday night, I'd like to make my girl But right now, I can't make ends meet, no (And I still won't play this shitshow anyways)

P Collirigger6

I'd like to understand the paragraph about threats he and his crew have received. Threats for appearing or threats for cancelling?

Le désobéissant 🏴Ministre fantôme pour les ministres fantômes4

This event could end up being more embarrassing than Trump's birthday parade.

Rob Lewis4

It’s a good warm up for the ballroom when what’s left of the Great American State Fair will fit in what’s left of the East Wing.

Loam3

👏 Beautifully stated, Brett. I wish more veterans, as well as their families and friends, would write/speak in a similar manner.

kyyle233

It’s funny that this administration knows that nobody wants to be seen with them, so they have to gish gallop these sort of things. And even then, when they cut the deadline to almost nothing, the acts are like “nope no thanks” lmao

Well, thank God I can continue to listen to Unskinny Bop without guilt.

Let’s cut to the chase: America’s 250th birthday will be celebrated with a Kid Rock concert. That’s where we are.

They will have to call in the big guns to make this happen. Kid Rock, Lara Trump, and maybe Rob Schneider can play the spoons or some shit… Utterly pathetic, yet predictable…

Flo Rida composing their letter as we speak?

Uh, it may be a flaming hot pile of shit no one wants to be near, but now that Bret bowed out, I don't think we can refer to it as poison.

They just dropped the updated list of performers. Frankly, I'm a little surprised at Dugga Doo

First time I'm seeing the headliners. That's a terrible lineup to start with.

Lieutenant Corporal Browski, USMC4

Looks like it's gonna be Vanilla Ice doing that one song he stole from Bowie, and maybe Kid Rock if they promise another ride in an Apache.

Samsara4

They found a replacement band.

Pretty soon it will be just kid rock 😆

I wonder if he agreed to pay the performers? They won't get a dime...

Wow. Bret Michaels is from Butler, PA. You know that’s big time Trump country. He’s been in LA for a while, but his family is still there. He’s one I thought would stick it out for Freedom Fest. This is getting ugly for the promoters.

If Flo Rida drops out, we're down to Ice Ice Baby.

The funniest thing about this is there was no “woke mob” or boycott. The minute they started reading some Instagram comments the first ones to back out said wait wut is this? And …dominoes

Mike Bloom55

At this point the whole show will be Vanilla Ice and a bunch of guys dressed up the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

thedarklab.bsky.social27

the only one left is Seth from American History X doing karaoke

So as of this morning Flo-Rida is the only one we have not heard from. Looking more and more like a solo gig for Vanilla Ice.

What threats? "I'll never listen to you again?" "Get fucked with that ratty wig, fash boy?" Just say "Ooops, got caught" or "Trump, ew" and be honest about it.

Man, for Bret Michaels to pass up a gig That must be rough

Vita Werdegast4

I love how strenuously he is making the point that he’s not dropping out for the right reasons (“politics”) but because of “threats,” giving cover to the regime’s narrative about the left being the violent ones.

Vanilla Ice is hardcore MAGA and has no career so he’ll take any gig he can get.

Well, the same idiot is in charge. So why would we expect anything different?

Kentucky Hills9

I am bracing for a potential false flag. The ballroom is getting too much pushback.

reggaerock.bsky.social5

That sentence in its entirety is telling. The “threats” reference sounds like Michaels is manufacturing a hedge to try to insulate himself from MAGA criticism. Two clues in that sentence that something is off: the syntax problem (“concerns . . . including threats”) and the passive voice.

At some point I can picture Trump canceling it, saying it was because of terrorism threats from the dumocrats and this only proves he needs his ballroom bunker ASAP.

Kid Rock is already there. Alexis needs a gig. But also Chachi has one song. I think Kevin Sorbo too. And the revamped Village People can cycle in and out with YMCA. Headliner : Lara Trump.

Wonder if KC and the Sunshine Band are busy

The Freedom Williams toilet rant (t2m.co/qrSCO4TP) makes C+C Music Factory status so confusing that have altered my poster that's keeping count of this mess. 😂

When you've lost Milli Vanilli, I think that is hitting rock bottom.

EARNED MY SPURS: "LIFE IS A GIMMICK" 🐎4

Now both Lara Trump and Kash's I wanna be a country star girlfriend have a chance of taking the stage 🤗

Frank Gabbard2

When Milli Vanilli take a hard pass on your lying toxic ass, you know you're in trouble.

Robert Sandoval2

The funniest part is none of these acts have worked in decades!🤣

Diedrich Bader72

Be pretty funny if it just ended up being Vanilla Ice every day all day playing the hit

Lauri Donahue13

Are they "backing out," or saying that they never agreed to participate -- or were never even contacted?

Green Hombre10

A gig too problematic for Milli Vanilli.

Joseph Britt8

They’ll be down to the Trump Family Singers at this rate.

C+C Music Factory frontman Freedom Williams, said he was not informed of the Great American State Fair's affiliation with Trump: "[My agent] didn't mention Trump. ... 'We're going to cancel C+C Music Factory. "So, I told my agent, 'Yeah, no, I ain't good to do that. I don't [support] Trump."

Wait ... the Vanilli peeled off?

By next week, we will need to have to settle for listening to a recording of "Tiny Dancer" for days on end instead.

I don’t think they’re backing out… I think it’s quite literally they were never confirmed or even asked to perform in the first place.

James Petruzzi2

Not sure which is funnier, that Milli Vanilli was invited in the first place, or that they backed out.

The Year of Glad2

There was a Vanilla Ice concert at a bar just off campus when I was in college, well into the “actually kind of sad” portion of his career. I didn’t go, but somebody threw a plastic bag full of urine onto him when he was on stage, and then a fight broke out and basically everybody got arrested.

Someone with more time than me needs to scrub that website. Partners include Prager U and Moms for Liberty freedom250.org

there's already been at least 3 who dropped off of this since the announcement lol i'm just editing the poster for it each time another one is like "wtf, no i'm not" & replacing them based off speculation alone

Morris Day and the Time to Get the Hell Away From this White Nonsense

Rick Healey, piecing it together5

How many are dropping out versus how many never even confirmed in the first place? The administration that brought us a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping feels like the sort that would readily do the latter.

But still the two most famous MAGA musicians, Nicki Minaj and Kid Rock are not on the bill, weird

chazsandiego3

That list was made by ai (probably)

Byron Magrane3

By the weekend, the only thing left will be a meet-and-greet with Bret Michael’s wig.

And 3 of them have already been like us ? WTH noooo

Stop, collaborate, and treason Ice needs money to fix his beach home

Must not make a "7 of 9" joke.

Why didn't orange boy get his buddies the Village People to perform? He could do his jerking off 2 guys dance to his favorite song Y.M.C.A.
