Billy Ray Cyrus, Others, To Perform At Hannity 'Freedom' Concerts

So, it's come to my attention that Sean Hannity is sponsoring a series of "Freedom Concerts," tickets for which would make "perfect Christmas gifts," apparently, for everyone on your Christmas list of whom you have a low opinion. Billy Ray Cyrus will headline these events, and will be supported by country music legends The Charlie Daniels Band, Christian-contemporary performer Michael W. Smith, sun-ripened beef jerky husk Lee Greenwood, and Oliver North, who will, I guess, be playing a Moog accompaniment to "the Whitey tape." The concerts are in support of...freedom? I guess? Though probably the "supplies are limited some restrictions apply void where prohibited (cf. Prop 8 for further details)" brand of "freedom."

Naturally, one wonders about whether Billy Ray Cyrus' decision to join up on this tour might negatively impact the career of daughter Miley Cyrus, who's more positioned as a global brand, and who produces spastic and apolitical pop marm. Might Billy Ray's actions alienate a significant portion of Miley's fanbase? The answer is: probably not! After all, Miley's tween audience probably couldn't care less about Sean Hannity, and their parents, who may care, have basically established themselves as ineffectual money-fonts who live to get pushed around by their children anyway -- hence the existence of Miley Cyrus.

Anyway, based upon the sorts of people Hannity pals around with, we can all be thankful that, at the very least, Prussian Blue won't be opening.

And Billy Ray asked the Obama girls to be on Hannah Montana...being that this "Freedom Concert" has been posted on Blowhard H a n n i t y's website for WEEKS, I wonder if BRC is still allowed to perform...

Well, Golly Gee!

I don't have money to invest in anything by Hank Williams Jr, and now I don't have money to invest in anything with the name Cyrus on it... including the little tart to be.

[plzchuteme]

What? Billy Ray had an open date? What happened? Did that wedding reception gig down at the Legion Hall fall through? You know the one, where that good ol' boy was marrying his sister.

[noamjunior]

Where were Hannity's freedom concerts whn Bush was trashing our constitutional rights?

[TomNY]

Isn't Oliver North a convicted felon?

So this is not a concert, but a parole hearing.

More like a Sarah Palin rally. I can just envision the type of people who will be attending.

[stella801]

Big whoop...They are all a bunch of losers and Sean Hannity is worst of the bunch.

[white mende man]

Just like the Movie "W" I will not waste my time either Billy Ray Cyrus or W's pitiful life story especially when I've zombied my way thru it these last 8 years.

Water seeks its own level.

When he isn't pimping his daughter, he lends his astounding voice to pimping freedom. He is so awesome.

[larry278]

Yes, Billy Ray Cyrus is so ....

[Bitsko]

Should be called The Losers' Tour.

[pgurlatl]

I guess it's a freedom from socialism event. What a Z lister.

[demfriend]

Never a fan of Billy Ray and for sure now he will forever be on my list of those who will not be played in my presence..... his kid might join him there we shall see.

[LucieLee]

All the "wrap themselves in the American flag, lipservice to the troops crowd.......hmmmm....what else are they offering to get anyone to show up?

[leevntheus]

Spoken by a true non parent. Jack@ss.

My daughter loves Miley. We of COURSE see her as a tween pinup know nothing. But its INNOCENT - more of an ambivalent outlet for tween identity. It works WITH parents as a modeling form for young girls. An extension of Dora, I Carly....you probably wouldn't understand.

Its better than having her worship Marilyn Manson...get the idea?

anyways....

I DO however see a conflict here with Disney. And I'll go on record -

If BRC tags along with Slannity (the most bone headed fact twisting idealogue I have ever seen even worse than Rush) our family will put the breaks on Miley/Hannah material.

Disney...beware.

Hannah Montano is okay. My 12-year old nephew watches it, but Miley has been acting like a grown up for a 15-year-old. If you must know, those racy photos you find of her online (Just Jared et al) and her going out with a 21-year old don't do her any good.

As for this Billy gig with the bi got Hannity, it shows you the more reason not to get the Obama girls to guest-star on the show.

[MJinCanada]

I'm a parent. What's wrong with Marilyn Manson?

[ikenneth]

a party for white people
