Oh, no.


That happened at the Democratic National Convention last night. Some kind of Minnesota = Prince = Tim Walz concept. 

I was starting to think why not Bob Dylan, but the answer is clear: Dylan lives. Prince isn't around to object to this travesty.

After the stupid Prince thing the other night I was wondering if politicians could have free reign with music from dead people. I guess it's just leftie politicians...

David53 ayon kay ...

I’ve been very good, I haven’t watched a minute of the DNC. I’ll just read the comments.

Dan from Madison ayon kay ...

I'd go crazy if I listened to that whole clip. Historically bad.

Lazarus ayon kay ...

Democrats want to Lead the Glamorous Life. Obamas, Bidens, Clintons, Pritzkers, Pelosis.

JRoberts ayon kay ...

Even the music at the DNC feels like pandering.

As the Obamas droned on about how important government is in our daily lives, I found myself wondering what percentage of DNC delegates are government employees?

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

Tim Walz grew up in NE and lived here after college when he began to teach high school. But we don't claim him.

narciso ayon kay ...

did they lose their rhythm a with their minds

Kakistocracy ayon kay ...

Walz gave a great speech.

He's an authentic midwestern Dad who grew up in a small town, served in the national guard for 24 years, a teacher, coach, Congressman elected six times in a rural, red district, and successful two-term governor. He's the first VP candidate that isn't a lawyer in many decades and connects with voters that Democrats have lost in recent years. He's the opposite of the 'coastal elite' that Republicans like to rail against.

Republicans attacking his bio show they're scared he'll take some of the rural vote away from them, along with more votes from union members and veterans, especially in the Midwest. And that will sink their campaign in a hurry.

The Tim Walz — JD Vance contrast is just so devastating for Vance. Tim Walz is who JD Vance pretends to be.

Wendy and Lisa must have had prior commitments. Nimrata Haley could have done a Uniparty cameo for "Darling Nikki".

You don’t believe a word you just wrote.

Iman ayon kay ...

Sugah Walz outback yo!

Lilly, a dog ayon kay ...

The dancing white lady at 1:30-1:33 ate the purple banana, so they can stop looking for it. I think the lyrics are a really good fit for the Harris campaign:

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die

narciso ayon kay ...

I think thats food poisoning that's just me

narciso ayon kay ...

I remember her from action jackson, that film that tried to make carl weathers into the lead,

Christopher B ayon kay ...

Scott Johnson at Powerline long ago suggested "Let's Go Crazy" as the theme song for the Democrat takeover of Minnesota.

John Legend & Sheila E: They performed “Let’s Go Crazy” by Minnesota’s own Prince Rogers Nelson to introduce Tim Walz. Now here was truth in advertising. By my lights, “Let’s Go Crazy” is the fitting theme song for Walz’s work with Democratic majorities in the 2023-2024 session of the Minnesota legislature. They went crazy. They have more where that came from.

Achilles ayon kay ...

I like how they pretend that the drums and the guitar were actually plugged in and producing the noise they were supposedly making.

Democrats are just completely dishonest and transparently fake about everything.

narciso ayon kay ...

omg thats sad, and I kind of like john legend's music,

FullMoon ayon kay ...

Well, Dylan is liberal, to a degree
But, if you think you can use his music for free,
You must be just as crazy as AOC.

Ok,Ok, I know...I'll leave it to the other guys..

Aggie ayon kay ...

gee. First they bump James Taylor with the 'White Lady Feelz' singing, then they make time for this. I don't think I could stomach either one.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Moving Forward to our bright Socialist future.... Where elite pop stars are untouched by the pain.

TosaGuy ayon kay ...

Prince is the exception to Minnesota Mediocrity. Walz embodies it.

Mikey NTH ayon kay ...

They could have followed it with "Little Brown Jug."

Iman ayon kay ...

The Replacements would’ve been a better choice.

AAA says properly inflated tires can save 3 cents per gallon .

Properly counted ballots can save 3 dollars per gallon.

NC William ayon kay ...

He may have typed it, but he did not write it.

Bryant ayon kay ...

Good summary of the convention: "All excited ... don't know why..."

Smilin' Jack ayon kay ...

“I was starting to think why not Bob Dylan, but the answer is clear: Dylan lives.”

Oh, I would have *loved* to see them do Dylan.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Only devastating to moral-less liars, frauds, and loyalist democratics.

Gunner ayon kay ...

Vance pretends to be an SJW white goon?

B. ayon kay ...

Prince was from Minnesota and his estate loves to rake in the $$$.

Peachy ayon kay ...

Walz left it all when war broke out. Cowardly. True story.

tommyesq ayon kay ...

The overlap between delegates, government workers, and folks living on government handouts and actual dem voters approaches 100%. That is why dem policies don't need to have any basis in reality. The real problem is that the country has allowed those categories to get so ridiculously high.

Freder Frederson ayon kay ...

“I was starting to think why not Bob Dylan, but the answer is clear: Dylan lives.”

Well that doesn't make much sense at all. Even if Prince is dead, his copyrights are still very much alive and will be for the next 60-odd years or so.

What is a travesty is Trump dancing to "YMCA" (especially considering the Republicans current assault on LBTQ rights) or using Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."

Freder Frederson ayon kay ...

The new system does not like links. ". . .and really, that song?" (You'll have to look it up yourselves.

Iman ayon kay ...

“Real Clear Politics just updated their “No Toss-Up States” electoral map and Pennsylvania has now flipped back to Trump, giving Trump the predicted win for president.”

phantommut ayon kay ...

You know JD Vance isn't authentic because he doesn't live in a trailer park.

Joe Smith ayon kay ...

I don't get Legend's popularity. He strikes me as the second or third guy to get kicked off of one of the 'Idol' shows. Very generic.

Amexpat ayon kay ...

I just checked and Real Clear Politics has Penn as a tossup, with Trump up 0.2%

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

Well, well, well ... Donald Trump is certainly getting smarter: Reports out that he is REFUSING national security briefings by the CIA/FBI/NSA because he knows they're trying to set him up and accuse him of leaking classified information.

He's finally realizing one of the 1,000 ways Chuck Schumer told him they can "get you."

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

He's a "wrestling coach" bear and there are a bunch of kids lined up to come out as soon as they're officially nominated.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

The new system does not like links. Really?

Peachy ayon kay ...

How sad that our nation is this far in the trash can after only 3 and a half years of crook Joe.

DanTheMan ayon kay ...

The Party of "More Government" has merged with the actual government. This is likely a very bad thing.

Political Junkie ayon kay ...

Nice one there, Lazarus.

Maynard ayon kay ...

The Tim Walz — JD Vance contrast is just so devastating for Vance. Tim Walz is who JD Vance pretends to be.

OMG. Rich has been trying the brown acid. Dude, that's bad acid. It will cause you to lose your mind.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

Daily Mail now reporting a second Trump assassin is being hunted.

They've got the next fall guy lined up. I don't give Trump much more time. It's a good thing he's willing to die for his country and his beliefs because they're sure gonna kill him.

Joe Smith ayon kay ...

He's a Maoist creep.

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

I was starting to think why not Bob Dylan

There would be a riot!

Neighborhood Bully

He wrote that song 40 years ago. I didn't really get that song when I first heard it. Both parties liked Israel back then. But 40 years later -- financed by oil money from the Middle East -- our universities are awash in brainwashed kids who hate. Bob is the man and the left can suck it.

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

Google ate Bob Dylan!

Neighborhood Bully

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

And he's back.

Jim at ayon kay ...

Tim Walz is who JD Vance pretends to be.

Tim Walz isn't even who Tim Walz pretends to be.

Clyde ayon kay ...

To be fair, the Democrat party went crazy and nuts long ago. This year is just deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole.

Clyde ayon kay ...

Bingo. Vance served in a combat zone, even if he didn't see combat. Walz deployed to Italy and got out when his National Guard unit was getting ready to see the elephant.

Butkus51 ayon kay ...

Dylan is a Jew. Once a Jew always a Jew

The Klan is done with him.

The Godfather ayon kay ...

So you say Vance pretends he retired from the Marines so he wouldn't be sent to war? Good to know.

who-knew ayon kay ...

I would have been interested to see what would happen if they'd gone with Dylan. Over the years he's been pretty hard on people trying to turn him into an advocate for their pet causes.

narciso ayon kay ...

Dylan has talent and hes not a tool

AMDG ayon kay ...

My guess is that a good number of the delegates are only vaguely familiar with Dylan. And II suspect that he would denounce it. He never struck me as a a party guy (although I did see a picture of him reading Baseball news in the 70’s and he never struck me as a baseball guy either.

Too bad - it would be amusing to see someone singing “Positively Fourth Street” to that audience.

RMc ayon kay ...

(Rich doesn't) believe a word (he) just wrote.

Sadly, he does.

RMc ayon kay ...

As Prince himself would say, "Shut up, already! Damn...!"

Mutaman ayon kay ...

"Prince isn't around to object to this travesty."

Oh if only the Dems had produced Lee Greenwood singing "God Bless the USA" for the zillionith time. Or Kid Rock.

Iman ayon kay ...

Walz was an assistant coach, never a head coach. Is there anything the guy hasn’t lied about!?

Pink doesn't seem to be lipsinging tonight.
Waiting on Beyonce.

Holy Moly! ayon kay ...

The Democrats had a living legend, Stevie Wonder, singing last night. But Ann has her shorts all twisted up because John Legend covered a great song by Prince.

Ho Hum: Ann is more of a Kid Rock girl.

Mark ayon kay ...

Stevie was worth watching, Legend doesn't live up to his name.

Dr.Bunkypotatohead ayon kay ...

This convention seems like modern TV commercials. White people are just tokens, usually buffoons.

Lazarus ayon kay ...

Vance had aspirations to be a more serious and significant figure. Sure, he has hardscrabble Middle American roots, but he doesn't wrap himself in them to the degree that Walz does. He doesn't expect that playing that role will be enough. Rightly or wrongly, for good or ill, he thinks he has more to contribute. Walz doesn't, and he doesn't even live up to the image he's created for himself.

Lazarus ayon kay ...

They missed the opportunity to have Sheena Easton sing Alexander Nevermind's (that is, Prince's) "Sugar Walz."

Rusty ayon kay ...

No, Maynard. He really is that dumb.
