Good Luck With That


US Weekly has an article about how people are urging performers like Usher, Beyonce and Mariah Carey to return all the money they earned when they performed for the sons of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. There is no way on earth that any of them will give the money back. It is not exactly like they have not been criticized for taking their money in the first place and none of that got them to return the money. His sons are not nice people. Never have been and never will be. These performers don't care about any of that. All they care about is how big the check is. Each of them have earned millions for performing for the sons and I would be shocked if they gave the money back or donated an equivalent amount to charity. US interviewed the agents for R.E.M. and Arcade Fire who say they would send it to charity. Yeah, but those bands would have never taken the money in the first place. I guarantee you that if the check was large enough any of those three and a lot more artists would perform now for them.
