Rock the Country, a music festival critics have labelled a “MAGA fest”, has been cancelled in Anderson, South Carolina, following a series of artist withdrawals.
The Anderson County stop, originally scheduled for July 25 and 26, will no longer take place, as confirmed by county administrator Rusty Burns.
Rock band Shinedown announced their exit, stating their decision was to avoid creating “further division” and to uphold their purpose of uniting people through music.
Rapper Ludacris also dropped off the bill, with his representative indicating a ‘mix-up’ regarding his initial inclusion.
I think we agree in essence, but we adjust our judgments according to our circumstances. I try to add statistics to the mix, knowledge of other kinds too. I know more than half of Americans who voted, did it for Trump, but I don’t know you, your family, and your acquaintances. That someone there would be a racist was my expectation, not my desire, but obviously, I could be wrong. I also know that not everyone who voted Trump thinks of themselves as racists, but the fact is they sympathize with one.
