Yeah, I really, really liked Joe Walsh, until I saw this here.<\/p>\n
Via CNN<\/a>:<\/p>\n (CNN)For the Eagles’ Joe Walsh, the show must not go on.<\/strong><\/p>\n The musician pulled out of a concert scheduled for July 18 in Cleveland, Ohio, after he said he learned of the show’s ties to the Republican National Convention.<\/strong><\/p>\n “It was my understanding that I was playing a concert which was a nonpartisan event to benefit the families of American veterans on Monday, July 18 in Cleveland,” Walsh said in a statement he released Wednesday. “Today it was announced that this event is, in fact, a launch for the Republican National Convention.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Walsh said he also discovered that his name would be used “to raise sponsorship dollars for convention-related purposes” and therefore he felt forced to withdraw from the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n “I am very concerned about the rampant vitriol, fear-mongering and bullying coming from the current Republican campaigns,” Walsh said. “It is both isolationist and spiteful. I cannot in good conscience endorse the Republican party in any way.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I thought Joe loved America. I guess not, needless to say, I’m done with him and his music. See ya Joe, thanks for the fish.<\/p>\n Related Links: My Other Blog.<\/a><\/p>\n
