Sheryl Crow Welcoming America So You Don’t Have To
PhillyClout is reporting that none other than likable wraith Sheryl Crow will be the headlining act at Welcome America, Philly’s annual gift to the metal-barricades and flat-cola industries. City Rep Melanie Johnson leaked this bit of info in City Council this morning, which we think may have been a whoopsie, as the Welcome America site wants you to stay tuned for “major announcement” and, uh, this is it. All of which prompts the question: How pissed off are Patti LaBelle, Boz II Men and Hall & Oates right now? After all, this gig is their birthright. No word at this moment if Crow will be donning her bikini just yet.

So we should expect Sheryl to sleep with Questlove and cover a Roots song by 2010?

Please remind me of how she is likable?

Are you purposely leaving out the “Sunoco” as some anti-consumerism thing?

@CB: We left out “Sunoco” because no one actually calls it “Sunoco Welcome America.”

I think I am in a July 4 vortex where we talk about “SWA” all year long!

That’s not a very ladylike way to sit in a chair. That said, it does kinda say “Welcome America.”

The “Major Announcement” is actually that Trent Reznor will join Crow on stage for their hit collab “Pussygrinder” http://www.nin.com/strobelight/

Seems like a surefire way to get white people from the suburbs to come here and spend money, though I would have hoped for a Hooters reunion.
