Joe Walsh canceled after learning that his concert was NOT for the Veterans but rather the convention.

Eagles' Joe Walsh cancels concert with GOP ties


(CNN) — For the Eagles' Joe Walsh, the show must not go on.

The musician pulled out of a concert scheduled for July 18 in Cleveland, Ohio, after he said he learned of the show's ties to the Republican National Convention.

"It was my understanding that I was playing a concert which was a nonpartisan event to benefit the families of American veterans on Monday, July 18 in Cleveland," Walsh said in a statement he released Wednesday. "Today it was announced that this event is, in fact, a launch for the Republican National Convention."

Walsh said he also discovered that his name would be used "to raise sponsorship dollars for convention-related purposes" and therefore he felt forced to withdraw from the event.

"I am very concerned about the rampant vitriol, fear-mongering and bullying coming from the current Republican campaigns," Walsh said. "It is both isolationist and spiteful. I cannot in good conscience endorse the Republican party in any way."

Says he will play a concert for Veterans at a later date.

Even they don't want Pat Boone

That newspaper article only has excerpts from Mr. Walsh's statement. When you click through his whole statement is available and I thought that the most telling line in it was after he said that he thought he was playing for a veterans benefit. Specifically: "The admat I approved said this specifically...",

Did they lie to him hoping to rope him in? Monumentally stupid Republicans (wait is that an oxymoron?)

Yes, the told him it was a concert for veterans when it was an opening concert for the riot/ convention.

according to the urban dictionary that means STDs ha ha

.

that he is still alive.

"I want you to want me"?

Would that work?

... that my song "Fuck you Richard Nixon, you fucking fuckface", is available for a mere fraction of the $100,000 offered.

Then drop the mic and walk off stage.

to see that.

They would be booed off the stage, but it would be funny as hell, and on NATIONAL (and international) television!!

First the state, now this.

I thought I read that one of the guys in Cheap Trick was a right-winger.

before they hit it big

I met Rick Nielsen once - very down-to-earth.
