Carrie Underwood lost a little over 10% of her Spotify listeners in one day.
Oops.

Assume Trump pays his bill, at least she won't be pit any momey, because Spotify pays artists garbage tier payouts.

Does anyone know if its actuallynThe Village People or just The Village Person (the cop) planning to perform.
They seem to have had a lot of turnover over the years. Only the cop is left from the original group.

I saw them live about 20 years ago -- a few of the original or near-original members were in the group that appeared and ... well, they tried. They sang to pre-recorded tracks and there may have been some lip-synching going on (though, if so, they were really good at it -- it was not obvious.)

I will say, Victor Willis, aka The Cop, current owner of the group, and lead singer, was still in good voice and shape. David Hodo, The Construction Worker, seemed to be, to put it charitably, perhaps suffering from jet lag; it seemed to me like the other group members visibly helped him get oriented a few times. Mostly the pre--existing audience energy carried the day.

So, Der Drumpenfuhrer ain't gettin' an earth-shaking show. He's getting a 73-year-old lead singer with several freelancers in costumes who will do a passable Village People karaoke.

Lots of things make me sad. Seeing washed-up old no-talent actors get a second chance doesn't even twitch my needle.

If I had a needle.
I was going to say, I kind of liked that recent movie where Mel Gibson was the angry Santa Clause, but it was 5 years ago.

On a more serious note, Maverick is one of my guilty pleasure movies.
