Ask the Gulch: Which Entertainer would you invite to the Gulch

Let's be honest: all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. So assume that you live in the Gulch and you were given the responsibility of selecting one entertainer (or group) to live in the Gulch and give performances (paid of course). Who would you select and why?

    Agree. Shocked his name didn't come up earlier. A little ignorance from the top toward the bottom this time

    Tom Selleck, because he has the right values, but has lately slacked off on fighting openly for what he beleives. Scott Baio, because he will stand up for capitalism, and loves cars as only a capitalist understands. Toby Keith, because understands capitalism and is willing to put himself out there for what he believes. Maybe gene Simmons, because his message to immigrants online was, "Learn the damn language!" That is the basis of getting a job in the US.

    Agree! That's the first name I thought of as well. He's written some great lyrics over the years ... Freewill and Tom Sawyer among them.

    Throw in a hot-foot or two, a whoopee cushion, and some bubble gum and you've got it made. Bob Uecker would also fit right in, and if you want actual philosophy Yogi Berra.

    I wouldn't want good ball players, but good physical comedians instead. Chuck Conners played major league ball I'm told and had a reputation as a cut-up when running the bases.

    And it represents the purpose of the Valley and the kind of people invited there. There were all kinds of professions, including in the arts. But Ayn Rand made it clear what kind of character and sense of life she was talking about as the ideal and which the Valley represented in the novel. They were not slap stick comedians and conservative celebrities. And no one was or would be selected to bring in some arbitrary "entertainer" from the outside to live and perform in the name of "all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy", let alone that in the name of "let's be honest". Many of the comments on this forum and this thread in particular show little understanding of what Atlas Shrugged was about.

    What? No one has thought of my favorites Penn & Teller? But they're probably here already.

    Sarah Brightman, just to listen to her voice and admire her talent for singing and writing music. Then she might decide to talk and I would discover she was a socialist and I might never listen again.

    George Lucas. He's not one of us yet, but after Marin County nixed several versions of his plan to build a production studio at his Lucas Valley ranch, he decided to really piss them off by applying for permission to develop the ranch as low-income housing. Anyone willing to throw that in the face of the eco-nuts and urban planners is OK with me.

    John Stossel would be No1- , and most other entainers who endorsed Trump. NONE of the entertainers who endorsed HILLARY.

    Neil Peart. He dedicated a Rush album to Ayn Rand. Severe peer pressure later made him recant. I wonder what he'd say now, to us.

    Tim Allen, Mike Rowe, Chuck Woolery, James Wood, Bill Whittle, Dennis Miller, Vince Vaughn, Ted Nugget but not his amplifiers, the list would go on but lets not get top heavy.

    If we don't have to limit it to living people, I would recommend Jackie Gleason. Not only was he a great comedian, but he had a wonderful orchestra.

    Agree about the Yankees, but the Tigers would beat them. All that would have to be done would be to bring Frank Larry, aka the Yankee killer, back to pitch. Too bad that Senator Bunning is no longer with us. He could wipe the Yanks, too.
