Ben Jones has released a press release regarding the cancellation of John and Tom’s upcoming appearance at the Cincinnati Pops. The press release can by read by clicking here.
“According to Jones, the Cincinnati Pops was pressured to cancel a July 14, 2007 performance by singers John Schneider and Tom Wopat because of their connection with ‘The Dukes of Hazzard.’ Jones and Schneider were both told that the cancellation came after members of the Cincinnati community complained that the popular and perennial family show has ‘racist overtones.’ Both Schneider and Wopat have appeared previously with the Cincinnati Pops.”
Thanks to Renee for bringing this to our attention. Together, maybe we can get Tom and John’s appearance back on the schedule.
