You know,
the first time I ever heard of the NRA was in a recording of
the "Bonnie and Clyde" song with lyrics supposedly by Bonnie Parker.
Somebody had to explain to me what the lyrics meant by saying
"We have joined the NRA."

Latest thing in the news is the fact that the annual NRA national convention is just about to be held.
And a bunch of musicians had been lined up to perform and sing.
And a bunch of them are, in fact, pulling out.

What the blankety-blank was Don McLean doing, in the first place, agreeing to sing at the NRA convention? I didn't think he would take their money to perform for them in the first place, with the sort of lyrics he publishes and performs? Well, I guess I am the last to know things, and everybody else knows that he is -- was in the NRA's pocket.

Because now Don McLean has announced that, no,
he has pulled out, and will not sing at the NRA Convention.
And neither will Lee Greenwood,
who was expected to sing "God Bless the USA";
he has gone on the Fox television network to say that he had been engaged,
and he has withdrawn his participation at the NRA convention entertainment.
A few other singers and entertainers whose names I do not recognize,
people I don't associate, again, with Don McLean.

And the fact that they refuse to sing for the NRA ... is national news.
