I'm already looking forward to the impression that Laura Ingraham does of Cindy's idiotic speaking voice.

"Among the performers scheduled to play March 20 are R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe"

"Shiny Happy People" "Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike, alright!? I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, ok! I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating people, alright!" Sit down and shut the hell up Michael! Don Henley's gonna tell me how to vote. I don't think so, ok? I got two words for Don Henley, Joe F***ing Walsh, ok!? Thanks for calling, Don! How long's your pony tail now? Ok!

Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst) has got to be the worst of this lot. Why some people think he is a genius is beyond me.

"Has-Beenspoloza"

I never heard of any of these "entertainers". More like Never-was-polukas.

If Sheenan and these "Artists" care so much about our brave fighting men and women, why aren't they donating the proceeds to those Soldiers injured in Battle??

She started an online petition the other day, urging television shows to put her on the air.

No doubt she'll do anything to get herself back in front of a camera again, so look for stage antics at this concert.

Michael Stipe

Useless as a performer without the rest of his band.

Bright Eyes

Unlistenable crapweasel.

Rufus Wainwright

Gay singer/songwriter.

Fischerspooner

Talentless, enormous "performance art collective"

Public Enemy's Chuck D

Washed-up has-been. His scenes were cut from Anchorman, too.

Devendra Banhart

Singer/songwriter who's too "real" to actually write a coherent song.

Peaches

Ugly ex-stripper who raps about incest.

What an unendurable lineup. The audience will be punished far worse than most FReepers can imagine.
