‘American Pie’ singer Don McLean cancels NRA meeting performance

“American Pie” singer Don McLean is nixing a performance at the annual National Rifle Association (NRA) meeting in the wake of the school shooting in Texas that killed at least 19 children.

“In light of the recent events in Texas, I have decided it would be disrespectful and hurtful for me to perform for the NRA at their convention in Houston this week,” McLean said in a Wednesday statement, according multiple reports.



“I share the sorrow for this terrible, cruel loss with the rest of the nation,” McLean said.

The NRA indicated in a statement a day after the deadly shooting that the event would still take place. Former President Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) are among the speakers scheduled to appear at the gathering.

Lee Greenwood, famous for his 1984 hit “God Bless the U.S.A.,” is also poised to perform at the event,

Do any of you munchkins understand that nearly all "honest" board members and thousands of regular members have left the NRA over the president Wayne LaPierre literally stealing donated funds from the members? The attempts to oust LaPierre are ongoing and Allan West is the most prominent candidate if the board members that are not already paid off, stand their ground.
You fools are directing your anger in the wrong direction and it is likely appreciated by those who actually do lobby congress. Do your homework, then pipe off.

In addition to mapping out their national strategy, NRA leaders can also be heard describing the organization's more activist members in surprisingly harsh terms, deriding them as "hillbillies" and "fruitcakes" :laugh:
