I wonder what kind of music Donald actually listens to.

Musical History
In Michael D'Antonio's recent bio Never Enough, Trump claimed he gave a music teacher a black eye in second grade, saying, "I didn't think she knew anything about music."

Favorites
Trump has name-checked Aerosmith, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson in the past, though he seems to think they're "terrific" as much for their personalities as their tunes. His tastes undoubtedly run right down the middle of classic rock; according to aides, Trump programs his own campaign rally playlists, which include songs such as the Stone's "Brown Sugar." His go-to campaign song, though, has been Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," which he rocks at the end of his rallies.

Rock-the-Vote Moment
Trump was spotted at a 2006 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young concert in New York, where he was seen talking with fellow concert attendee Salman Rushdie. Afterward, he told Rolling Stone of Young, "He's got something very special. I've listened to his music for years and I've seen him before that, but I went to the concert where they were honoring Bob Dylan years ago at Madison Square Garden and Neil got up and totally brought the house down. There was nobody close. He's performed for me at my casinos over the years and he just brings it down. I've met him on occasions and he's a terrific guy. … His voice is perfect and haunting. He's 63 and I don't think it's changed." He noted he liked "the older stuff better" when it came to Young. Recently, though, Young demanded that Trump stop using "Rockin' in the Free World" at rallies, and Trump has called Young a "hypocrite" based on a meeting they had about Young's Pono music player.

I've seen Sturgill live on tour with Jason Isbell. Let's just say I was disappoint when they both started vaguely political monologues on stage.

They avoided doing that at the shows I caught them at, thankfully. Tuscaloosa in front of a bunch of Old Row reactionaries is probably not the best place to show a bleeding heart.

Was actually way better than i expected

Remember, they say they will take over.

And the Washington Compost says that Trump can't get celebrities and they are giddy about it...

The dude is tight with Gene Simmons and Bret Michaels.

He could have had KISS and Poison up there!

That would round off this trashball fest perfectly.

That's a pretty good lineup for an inauguration. 3 Doors Down puts on a good show. I'm not sure what all of you are harping on about.

ETA: From the link:

President Barack Obama's first inauguration in 2009, when a similar concert featured appearances from Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Garth Brooks, U2, Usher, Stevie Wonder, Denzel Washignton and Tom Hanks, among others.

Who would rather have these acts than the acts playing Trump's inauguration? Garth Brooks, Usher, and Stevie Wonder are good acts, but the rest is straight garbage from a musical standpoint. Why are Denzel and Tom Hanks even mentioned?

"How do you like me now" is a must play by Toby Keith

I am shocked that The Nudge isn't performing.

Where is the official website. for the list?

Thought all the 3 Doors guys OD?
