Really?  I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that he'll be performing at an unofficial event? Otherwise, the soon-to-be Secretary of State - the "irrelevant bitch" - might be on hand. | |

Ugh.
I think they should present a wider scope of musics. Where is jazz, blues, classical, country? I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |
