Prepare for R. Kelly's "golden shower" on Oct. 25

Truth be told, maybe, just maybe the parents should not allow their 13 yo to see the show. Some shows are not for the 13 yo. So that statement was not called for.

TrueVoice, look up R Kelly and urinating on ask or google, it will be there. lol I don't want to type it. ewwww

TrueVoice

Got the umbrella joke now. Good one. Just what we need, another pediphile running around Augusta. A washed up one at that!

lifelongresidient

cajun.....NO the truth is being told...that statement is called for to alert all parents that an accused pedephile is coming to town...it is common knowledge w/a marriage license signed that mr. kelly married the deceased singer Aaliyah when she was 15-16 years old...okay i will amend my statement "parents hide your 15 yr old daughters"

sadly, i will not be shocked if tickets will be sold out.
people would rather be in the presence of a celebrity than take a stand against a child molester.

Why does the AC advertise for this particular act and no others?????????

DEVGRU

At least the rest of the area will be safe on that particular night.

Avoid downtown on this night!

T.Cartledge

Although I dont approve what he did personally, I can respect him as a musician...and for that I say this is a good move..Just some of the good acts that are coming or came to AUG; TNA, Cole Bros, Steve Harvey, R. Kelly, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
