is recomposed sans Lionel Ritchie or any other "original" member. The rest are such bottom of the barrel I can't imagine any public "draw" to see them.

But it looks like William King is still there and I believe he is an original, then they have a couple dudes with the last name "Orange" and Walter was a prime member, they are obviously related. Still, it's not the same group.

I think this is payroll, they dudes need to pay bills.

The rest of the bill are just a bunch of 2nd rate people. And do they REALLY have Milli Vanilli on this thing (one of those dudes is dead I thought)? LMMFAO.

Bret Michaels is performing. He's MAGA and infatuated with Trump. I've hated Poison from day one, so i've found yet another reason to hate that band, lol

In large part b/c of Milli, or is it Vanilli, or the actual singers. Put differently when you're a lypsynch act with one dead member, who shows up to perform?

Is it because it features washed-up musicians who couldn't draw a crowd unless admission is free? ...like a state fair?
And I assume we, the taxpayers, are funding this.
