Kennedy Center threatens to sue musician who canceled concert after Trump's name added to building

[Marener]

He could argue that the name change was illegal. That would be relevant.

It wouldn’t. The name change is almost certainly irrelevant to the contract.

Actually, this is on obvious case of frivolous lawsuit. They have to prove people would’ve paid $1 million extra solely for this guy to play a jazz song.

Secondly, the artist signed up to play for a company by a different name: The Kennedy center. They changed their name, so contract void.

The Kennedy Center name change has no contractual connotation. Try harder. This hissy fit is going to cost this 'artist'.

You didnt read the opening post did you?

What are you implying? That no contract exists or that you are incapable of understanding basic contract law?

Kennedy Center threatens to sue musician who canceled concert after Trump's name added to building

Richard Grenell, the venue's president, called Chuck Redd's decision to cancel a Christmas Eve concert a “political stunt” and said he would sue for $1 million in damages.

Ordinarily I would say that they had an arguable case. As with most trump grifts he is just looking for a payout.
However the trump gimp making the case seems to be out of touch with reality.
You cant get compo for poor ticket sales. Tickets sell or dont at the whim of the public. Thats just the risk you take.
In fact the artist could argue that the name itself is off putting and people of culture re unllikely to want an association with a racist cult.
The Klan Pavillion is unlikely to pack em in.

Stfu. They can sue for breach of contract.

The measure of damages isn’t wizardry.

I wonder if the professional contract included a “liquidated damages” clause in it?

Bad move. No semi decent performer will sign a future gig with them.

Not many people besides you are willing to say something that dumb in front of other people.

Yeah. “I have been known to breach perfectly clear contracts” isn’t a good ad campaign.

Fellow performers may shun him and even concert promoters and owners of the venues might treat him like a leper.

Every performer signs contracts for every venue they perform at. Whether that’s a play house, arena or stadium. You don’t get to walk out of those contracts without paying a huge penalty.

Hard to believe every lefty retard in this thread doesn't know that, isn't it?

The very smart Missouri_Mike just met his reputation on his prediction that the Kennedy Center will get some money off the musician. I’ll check on you periodically for a progress report.

Marvin finally gets the source he was looking for! A right wing nickname in a message board by the name of “Missouri Something” just assertted that his years in message board law school have taught him that this musician will pay money in this case.

I’ll be checking in you periodically too, Marvin, for updates on the payments made by the musician.

Fair point.

I'd argue, "Performing at The Kennedy Center has a certain modicum of honor attached to it. Performing at anything named Trump has a lot of dishonor attached to it; much like playing Sun City during apartheid did; likely more infamy in fact. I had to think about my career."

Did you look up the valid situations in which an individual can walk out of a contract?
Don’t tell me you looked it up because it’sa rhetorical question.
You don’t look things up.

You’re a joke who asks silly questions. Try to smarten up. Reddit was clear about why he decided to breach the contract.

And “I don’t like the name of the recently renamed Kennedy Center” isn’t a valid reason

Obviously, you’re completely ignorant about legal matters, as well as a legion of other things.

BackAgain, looks like you’re predicting Redd will end up paying the Kennedy Center more than zero pennies, or that a judge will order him to do so. Can you confirm?

Once you confirm, let’s make our own contract you and I. If the Trump Center doesn’t get paid, more than one penny, you will admit that you were the one “ignorant about legal matters” one.
I’ll call myself legally ignorant if Redd isordered to pay or even settles for more than one penny.

Do we have a deal?

 

[Mac1958]

I would have thought that Trump would say something brilliant and unifying like "I didn't want those commies here anyway!"

The buffoon missed an opportunity!

And another thing that buffoons are not telling you is that the admission was free. Tickets were zero dollars each.

That’s why they’re using that bullshit about donors maybe not donating because a jazz musicians didn’t show up. They would have to bring donors to the stand in court to say “I was going to donate money but I didn't because one jazz musicians didn’t go.”

Another million dollars. LOL
