Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Milli Vanilli performing at a maga festival is just perfect. AFAIK the German guy is dead already, which leaves the French guy to lipsync to someone else’s singing. Or did they find someone else to complete the duo again? Maybe a Scotsman this time?

Sadly I think they also bowed out. I was looking forward to it being just Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli because that would match the current level of poorly-aged cringe in the US.

I think Milli Vanilli considering the gig beneath them is even more delicious.

The Commodore's and Morris Day (which if Purple Rain's depiction of him was accurate, is no surprise) are chef's kiss.

"Contrary to rumor, Morris Day and the Time will not be performing at the 'Great American State Fair,'" he wrote. Day captioned the post, "It's a no for me."

According to this NYT article, Morris Day, Young MC, Martina McBride and the Commodores have all dropped out now, claiming to have been signed without understanding it was all a Trump thing, and the singer of the group currently using the Milli Vanilli name says they were not asked to perform at all. (No one's heard from the original Milli Vanilli guy, Fab Morvan.)

Relieved about Young MC. I listened to his "Brainstorm" album over and over again as a kid.
