From what I have read on this article is that the event has more to do with Texas than it has to so specifically with Trump.
I dont see this as a big deal. It definitely is different than if they were playing the inauguration........which I wouldn't have an issue with since the inauguration is more about the process of the peaceful transfer of power than the person.
Unfortunately the process has gotten very politicized, but we are at where we are at.

And see, by doing it like this, he's supporting Trump but less overtly. Clever.
I think they will actually play the main event too
Especially since the Bruce Springsteen cover band that was set to perform backed out.
So a Springsteen cover band backs out, and a Beach Boys cover band steps in.....

This has nothing to do with Trump. It's for people from Texas living in DC and it happens every four years. But continue on with your misplaced outrage.
I'm a little lost as to how an event that celebrates the inauguration has nothing to do with the person being inaugurated. It's not like this is a party that's thrown every four years that just happens to line up with the Presidential inauguration. It's an inaugural ball for President Trump.
They have this ball every four years regardless of who is president.
But the event is meant to coincide with the inauguration. To suggest the event has nothing to do with Trump is laughable. That the event exists is not due to Trump. But it certainly has to do with Trump, and indeed the article in the top post describes how the event's attendance spikes when Republicans are being inaugurated. It's Texas, so duh, of course that would be the case.
I would never argue that a 2012 inaugural event in California had "nothing to do" with Obama.
You pretty much made my point for me. It would be one thing if the ball existed solely for Trump, but it doesn't. That's where I see the difference.
I guess the difference is that I don't give celebrations, offices, and titles any automatic respect. They're just things to me. My respect is instead contingent on the person who receives them. If Bill Cosby was being given the lifetime achievement award at the Oscars this year, I would support a boycott of the Oscars as well as whoever chose to host it. The fact that they give the award out every year doesn't change that each recipient has to earn our respect on their own, they don't simply inherit the respect that previous recipients were held in.
The same with this ball. Just because it's been a celebration of respectable people in inauguration's past it doesn't mean it always will be. To me, this time it is not, and to the best of my ability, I won't support those who participate in that honoring as a means of peaceful protest.
Those named Wilson or Jardine had nothing to do with this - It's the backlash against their music and legacy that concerned me from day 1, and I hate to see boycotts affecting people who had f***-all to do with this decision.

I guess the gala ball attendees won't be hearing "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" unless they get a Nugent tribute band to do it.

Ted Nugent and "gala ball" in the same sentence makes me giggle. Just sounds wrong.

this ball does take place in DC and will most definitely be a pro-Trump affair, unfortunately.
why on earth the Beach Boys would headline a ball celebrating "all things Texas" makes little sense but wtf ever
we all knew Mike couldn't stay away from this
still, how utterly disappointing.

Maybe we'll get a live Beach Boys cover of the Poontang song out of the deal if Nugent isn't going to play it.

Or Bruce and Mike will be trying to get poontang after the show. Should be plenty of blue hairs in attendance.

Mike is probably already having his ten-gallon hat steamed, blocked, and the "Beach Boys 50th" logo applied to the front for the event.

Sounds more like you just have an arbitrary definition of something having "nothing to do" with something else.
Not sure how my point about Obama/California makes *your* point.
Further, we've established Mike and Bruce tend to be buddies with conservatives, and Mike is buddies with Trump. It's not some crazy conspiracy to associate this gig with Trump. Those connections are surely part of why Mike would take the gig.

I see a "Grab Them By the P*ssy" tattoo in The BBs logo font on some Trump supporters arms in the near future.
This is sick and extraordinarily regrettable.
I imagine this will put all sorts of other ugly things like the crass South Africa '81 comment under the microscope via major media in the near future. All just more damage to Mike and the brand.

They weren't playing the actual inauguration concert, just a New Jersey run gala in DC.

The announcement to play a gig can't even be a straightforward one. Everything surrounding this band anymore has to read like a legal document, parsing words, asterisks, "yeah...but" rebuttals. Even this, it's an inaugural celebratory event. It's politically loaded. That's how these things are. Yet the decision to play, now we have "yeah, but it's not this or that, it's independent this or that, it's not the REAL inauguration ball..." Oh, please. Keep it in the conference room, just be straight up about something for once.
Yeah, even the decision to play this week gets run through the usual ringer of parsing words, asterisks, and any attempt to avoid giving a straightforward, honest, basic answer. The band is playing the inauguration. That's it. Now they have to deal with whatever happens.
