## Resource

Fab Morvan, half of Milli Vanilli, has pulled out of Washington’s 250th anniversary concerts, calling it a “circus” and saying it’s no longer about music — it’s become too political. He’s joined a growing list of artists, including Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida, as others like Bret Michaels and the Commodores bail out, citing the event’s shifting tone. Morvan, who initially thought it was a nostalgic music celebration, now says he wants to unite people — not divide them — and refuses to perform in what he sees as a politicized spectacle. Even President Trump weighed in, suggesting he cancel and take center stage himself, calling the performers “Third Rate Artists.” Morvan’s stance underscores a bigger problem: how to keep large-scale cultural events apolitical when politics inevitably seeps in.
