Note to maga _ Mr Glass is probably the foremost american modernist composer. Albeit its not a crowded field. Hes not really to my taste but it takes sll sorts and there is room for him in the village.

This fella quaifies as a member of the human race. A world premiere is just the sort of thing the Kennedy centre used to host.
Now the failing trump centre hosts barn dances. Its not quite the same thing.

Well, that's fancy music. He's easily replaced by Ted Nugent and "Kid Rock".

Someone on Facebook said that the Kennedy Center will evetually be a Halloween Superstore.

Who knew musicians and movie stars shared fluff belief systems based on feelings instead of truths?

Lib celiberties have an inflated sense of their worth

There are plenty of performers who can play at the Kennedy Center

We dont need somebody that most Americans never heard of
 
Good riddance. I've heard his music. It's horrible dissonance.
Agree.
It's simply not great composition. It's like throwing a bunch of silverware into the air and recording it when it hits the floor.

That's Congress private little playground with open bar anc Caviar. 90 year old blue dogs carried up the stairs like rice sacks to their luxury box. Food and booze delivered till bedtime. Weekly closed events for these "elite" drolling snoring communist lowIQ saps you support. No real Americans allowed//

Most people's lives aren't affected one way or another by the fact that he won't perform there. So, I'm going to take the mentality of most people ... shrug my shoulders and keep it moving.
