Never Let Anarchists Plan Anything

The Dem Convention alternate entertainment plans are a little muddled:

Rap pioneers Public Enemy have no plans to play a free benefit for Recreate 68 during the DNC, despite organizers announcing a date, time and location for the show.

Rapper Chuck D told the Rocky this morning that he’s never even heard from the group and will be taking care of family business in another state on Tuesday, the date of the announced show.

“I didn’t know anything about it,” he said from his New York home. “I’m coming to Denver anyway on a whole bunch of different accounts - being involved wth BET and Air America. I couldn’t make it out to Denver until the 27th (Wednesday) anyway.”

As far as the rapper knows (born Carlton Ridenhour) he’s never even been contacted.

“It’s totally news to me. Maybe they did, but if they did it’s one of 6,000 emails,” he said. There are certainly no confirmed plans as announced by Recreate 68.

Sounds like anarchy to me.
