I've been following my buddies FB posts about a benefit they played the other day. The band "Warrant" was supposed to play at some point too, but took the money and ran. This was supposed to help out the Washington IL tornado victims. What a bunch of ****ing pussies. It's funny, the drummer from Convoy said he'd setup a Boxing charity event challenging the entire Warrant band. My moneys on him.
I like what a local radio station had to say:
Quote:
I give props to anyone who takes the stage to perform. Whether they are a comedian, musician, a DJ, or an Emcee at an event.
While I am not a fan of WARRANT I did think that is was cool that they would be helping out those impacted by the November 17th Tornado that changed the lives of so many people in Central Illinois.
Their original permits were pulled and Freakster's Roadhouse stepped up to host the show so the money could still be raised. I found out late Sunday that WARRANT didn't take the stage and left town with their money.
I am offering WARRANT the opportunity to call me and explain why they offered to do a fundraiser only to take the money and run.
Were they simply playing off the compassion of those of us living in Central Illinois to always lend a helping hand to make a quick buck?
I'll let my listeners chime in on their thoughts on WARRANT's actions this past weekend.
