The Village People will play for one of Trump's balls (and rally too)


?s=46&t=3VBm1LJ8j8qLp6JTs_8J2A

American disco group the Village People made a name for themselves in the late-70s for their chant-along dance-pop hits and their colorful on-stage personas. Their best known hit, “Y.M.C.A.,” is widely considered a gay anthem -- and became a staple of Trump’s rallies in the last election, along with their hit “Macho Man.”

The American disco group is set to perform at one of Trump’s inaugural balls and a rally he’s holding in Washington the day before he’s sworn in.

Having people interested in talking about them, is like you or me getting all the numbers on a lotto ticket.
They want to cash in.

I vaguely remember this band, but could never if my life depended on it name a single member. I wonder if any of the original members are in this current incarnation. Another thing about the Village People is they dressed up so really anybody could pretend to be in this band and lip-synch the hits. Maybe it's a fake Village People. Keep your eyes peeled for Mike Flynn and Roger Stone dressed up like construction workers.

I don’t know how much or seriousness of the request was but they were told no.

Oh it was Vance just being the douchenozzle that he is
