Instead of performing at the inauguration, how about a huge benefit concert?

Got this suggestion from a friend today, and it cracked me up. Have a benefit concert someplace away from DC, and turn it into one huge celebration of FU to tRump!

"...If he makes it to inauguration which I am praying he will not!

If there was a televised "freedom concert" with huge celebrities like: Beyoncé and Jay Z, Madonna, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Gaga, etc. that aired at the same time as the inauguration, imagine how mad tiny fingers would be!! He would totally lose all the ratings. And what if all the proceeds of the concert went to the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal, NAACP, Environmental Defense Fund, etc."

Alec Baldwin should MC the event playing Trump as he does on SNL...

It could be HUUUUUGE!!

Much better than protesting the actual event

Trump will look out and count heads and will take credit for the yuge turnout

Granted I don't think she'd go for it, but it would basically be a counter-inauguration.
