Milli Vanilli is out, too.
Jodie Rocco, Milli Vanillis singer, told The Associated Press on Thursday that none of the group members had been asked to perform.
My sister and I were shocked to see our name, Milli Vanilli, as one of the performers, Rocco told AP.
And in a message posted to social media, the Grammy Award-winning R&B/funk group the Commodores announced they will not be performing at the event.
Our music has always been our voice and we choose not to publicly affiliate with any single political party, the Commodores posted. We support the betterment of all Americans.

Martina McBride used to appear on whatever the hell Sean Hannity used to call his "Freedom Concerts"...something like that. Also Sara Evans, another country singer like McBride. They were both big Hannity pals.

Drug-addled gasbag Rush Limbaugh (thankfully he's still dead) used a Pretenders song, and paid for it. Chrissie Hynde donated the money to PETA.

(24,576 posts)I was a DJ in a very cool honky tonk dive bar in the Nevada desert.
There were a handful of people I would not play under any circumstances, even though I played a mix of old school country and the current country hits on the Billboard charts.
ONE OF THEM was JASON ALDEAN.
He just seemed like a template MAGAt, long before that song. A real slob. God-awful "music."

WIKIPEDIA: "His 2011 rap-country hit "Dirt Road Anthem" is considered his biggest hit to date"
