Pissed at Lee Greenwood

LEE GREENWOOD CANCELED A CONCERT HONORING VETERANS, POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THE PROMOTERS SHORTED HIM:

LEE GREENWOOD, who makes a good living trotting out his song "God Bless the U.S.A." at patriotic events, refused to take the stage at a concert last Saturday in Denver honoring veterans, police and firefighters. . . because he wasn't FULLY paid in advance.

Greenwood was promised $20,000 to headline a concert following the Colorado State Parade of Honor. His overpriced manager claims the organizers paid half in advance, and then on the day of the show, offered only $2,000 in cash, and a $2,000 check.

The concert organizers have a different story. They claim to have wired $14,000 in advance, and on the day of the show offered $4,000 in cash, plus a $2,000 check written by the Knights of Columbus, one of the parade sponsors.

Both sides say that the road manager refused to accept a personal check. . . (--whatever the amount). . . and that's when the show was canceled.

Greenwood's manager gave this lame explanation, quote, "In (Lee Greenwood's) eyes, it's no slam or anything against veterans or policemen or firemen or any of those people. It's just a business arrangement, and somebody didn't uphold their end of the bargain."

(Kiss my ass, Lee Greenwood. I Love the ONE song you are known for, but you can't have it both ways. You can't cash in on your "patriotism" and then blow off the very people you sing about because of a few thousand dollars. If you were really patriotic you would've put your ego aside and done the show. Hypocrite.)
