He has never been a "big supporter" publicly of any party; his one small foray into the arena when he appeared at one Romney rally in the previous election campaign brought him a tirade of rude abuse from some of his fans which upset him greatly.
You don't have to support the President to appear at an inauguration .. however this time it has starkly divided a nation, and I am not in the least surprised that the vast majority of artists don't want to touch it with a bargepole, because of the effect it would have on their fans .. people are not very good at allowing their idols to have opinions that differ to theirs.
So NO .. as I suspect you already expected. You have been on here long enough to know what happened in 2012, so I can only surmise at your reasons for starting this thread  |
There is no need to get so defensive Caryl!
Meat may actually no longer be a household name to the younger generations in the US. Recent US tours have been performed at relatively small venues unlike the arena shows in the UK.
I am just suggesting if his health allows this will give him some publicity to the worldwide market.
