Think the convention will feature either of these artists?
Sixpence None the Richer. Played for Perry's inauguration in Texas.
Amy Grant. Played at George Herbert Walker Bush's birthday party.
She got the Dove hypocrisy award I believe.
Actually, Country & Gospel singers have been making their way into mainstream for some time.
I'm happy with both but know some would prefer other styles of music. Depending on the lyrics I'm okay with rock as well, though I'd have to "nix" the idea of Kid Rock performing. He's linked to the Superbowl fiasco, imo, it wouldn't serve the GOP well to have him on stage given the image they wish to project.
I like Kid, don't get me wrong, but would rather not relive the reminders of the Famous Janet & Justin moment.
I do think the speeches will be the main event, as they should be.
"I hope it's not too heavy on country or gospel. Not that I dislike that type of music, I just think it makes the Republican party look, well, out of the mainstream."
While I am not a big fan of new country music, I have admit that it is one of the biggest selling music genre's out there right now.
It is VERY mainstream.
