I won't be going to any of them. That is not what I am discussing. I am discussing what you offer as entertainment for a presidential event. You do not chose entertainers that will offend, disrespect. You chose entertainers that will entertain all the people that are invited.
This is not the place for crudity. This is a presidential event and people that chose to use crudity, bad language, and other activities that will reflect on the president do not need to be included. Period.
Now - if any chose to hear KR, they are totally free to attend his events at any time. If the committee decides he is not setting the example they want to present to America's young, they are within their rights and I applaud them. We have plenty of immorality, crudity thrown down the thoats of our young in every aspect of life. The comments on this thread prove that our young have been innundated with this crudity to the point they expect it as entertainment. But, that does not mean that the rest of us have to accept it as the norm.
We will not.
Fair enough. Long ago and far away on a different thread, lol, I basically said the same thing. That I personally thought the committee could come up with someone who was popular, but less controversial.
That being said, it's not my party. If they had decided to invite him, then I would have chosen not to attend if my children were with me. I would not have tried to stop his performance. Would someone be forcing you to attend something that you think is gross? They are responsible for their own choices, and I think the President would be wise enough to make the appropriate choice, in any event. It's not my place to tell a grown man what that is, however.
I don't believe peformers are doing anything except what they are paid to do. If enough people stop buying stuff they consider to be offensive, then less of that kind of thing will be available. Record companies, for example, are driven by record sales, even if artists are not.
In the meantime, it's easy enough to get away from stuff you don't like.
