DONALD TRUMP CUTS ROCK LEGENDS FROM INAUGURATION To Save Cash for Charity

Donald Trump shut down negotiations to get a huge rock band at one of his Inaugural balls ... in order to cut costs and potentially save tens of millions for charity. Inauguration sources tell us the Committee was close to landing a legendary group -- one that's in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -- but when the President-elect found out they wanted more than $1 million for the gig he pulled the plug.

We're told Trump implored the rockers to reduce their appearance fee -- but when they refused he told the Inaugural Committee to move on to other artists. Mind you, there's plenty of dough. The Committee's reportedly received more than $90 million in donations, but we're told Trump instructed all involved to keep expenses in the low millions because whatever is left over is going to charity.

Isn’t the TMZ crowd low info? If so, smart moves.

I hope so. The Harvey Levinson interview with Trump was very good.
I also think they are old friends.

[Eagles6]

I’m sure there are plenty of not so famous, talented bands that would love to play.

[RummyChick]

I suspect that part of this story is a PR move by Trump.

It saves face because so many people are afraid to perform. Makes him look good. Etc.

TMZ has been more direct and honest then MSN and CNN.

Cant stand him...never could...

Who was it?

[mountn man]

My thought microseconds into the article.

[nikos1121]

Kiss refused.

[nikos1121]

I hear it’s Paul Revere and the Raiders.

[day10]

I wonder if the excess money to charity angle is standard for these things through the years?

[Larry Lucido]

Who was on first.

[nikos1121]

Aerosmith

[nikos1121]

Steppenwolf

I believe that he will eagerly adopt this attitude with respect to federal agencies. he will out the fraud and waste and just tweet it out to the public.

I hope he goes after the BLM (both of them but I’m reoffering to the federal agency) and stops the usurpation of rancher, farmer land rights by the feds. A lot of this was driven by Chicoms (helped by Dems) seeking to gain mineral resources.

He’s got Sam Moore and Toby Keith. I don’t know why he would want anybody else.

[mountn man]

Same here.

No talent, screaming hack.

Before Obama, Bruce Springsteen was the one who I'd change the channel on.

Steve Tyler is very liberal, where Joe Perry is the conservative.
