    Milli Vanilli performing at a maga festival is just perfect. AFAIK the German guy is dead already, which leaves the French guy to lipsync to someone else’s singing. Or did they find someone else to complete the duo again? Maybe a Scotsman this time?

      Sadly I think they also bowed out. I was looking forward to it being just Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli because that would match the current level of poorly-aged cringe in the US.

      The Commodore’s and Morris Day (which if Purple Rain’s depiction of him was accurate, is no surprise) are chef’s kiss.

        “Contrary to rumor, Morris Day and the Time will not be performing at the ‘Great American State Fair,’” he wrote. Day captioned the post, “It’s a no for me.”

          According to this NYT article, Morris Day, Young MC, Martina McBride and the Commodores have all dropped out now, claiming to have been signed without understanding it was all a Trump thing, and the singer of the group currently using the Milli Vanilli name says they were not asked to perform at all. (No one’s heard from the original Milli Vanilli guy, Fab Morvan.)
