Springsteen cover band promises to cancel Trump inauguration concert if the Boss asks

I never saw this coming this part coming, said B Street keyboardist and founder Willie Forte in an interview with the Times. Are you asking me if, you know, if I wouldve reconsidered if I could go back in the beginning and I knew this was going to happen? Sure.

Forte said that the band would agree to cancel their performance if Bruce Springsteen said he didnt want them performing his songs at the inauguration, but the band hasnt heard anything from the New Jersey rock icon, thank God, so far.

I think you can count on "The Boss" asking the cover band not to
preform at Trump's "thing." I can't even write the word that means
that mentally ill con man who came to power in a coup will be
POTUS

1. I think the Boss would rather they shame themselves

then to make them look like they are kissing his ass.
They have already established that they kiss asses.

2. He should play for free for the Women's March (but w/o any fanfare).

I love Springsteen...

5. OH MY that would be totally real, like !!

[George II]

3. Let's hope he does ask them to cancel.

6. Trump still has his go to guy.

8. Can Cha-Chi perform a scripture reading while wearing his ban-dana from Happy Days?

[Historic NY]

4. They just won't be his cover band in the future....

the Boss won't suck up to Christie, why would he suck up to Trump.

7. Initially I thought it was a joke

when I first heard about this. Still very funny.
We are going to have to get our laughs where we can. Ridicule is in again and I intend to use it at every chance I get when dealing with the trump cult.

9. I can't see Springsteen asking these guys to not play the biggest gig of their lives.

I mean second-biggest, after that one time down at the Legion.

10. He wont ask them not to play

I think Bruce believes they are free to do whatever they wish.

11. That's ALL he's got - cover bands.

This is awesome.

[melman]

12. He's not going to do that

And I'm sure they know that.


Sounds like they're just looking for attention anyway. This is just an 'inauguration event' at some hotel.

13. A cover band playing the inauguration? Somehow that sounds perfect.

Everything about the man rings false. Why would anybody expect him to get a real band to play for him?

14. I'll be shocked if Bruce says anything at all about this.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. They're best known for their hits......

......."Conceived to Jog", "Lightning Street", "Visually Impaired by the Shiny Object" and "Moving Around Rythmically to Music in Dimly Lit Conditions."

16. A cover band??? Trump has resorted to cover bands????

I suppose we can also expect Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators. As the orange one might say: SAD.
