Philip Glass withdraws his ‘Lincoln’ symphony from the Kennedy Center, citing conflicting values

Philip Glass has withdrawn his symphony based on Abraham Lincoln from the Kennedy Center, with the award-winning composer writing to the board of the arts institution that its values conflict with the...

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.

We can replace him with some good country music

If he's so thin-skinned that the name on the door deters him, is he really worth learning about or hearing?

These fools who cancelled only care about their 15 minutes. I have not heard of any of these goons who cancelled.

Glass knows that if he performs there, the woke mob will have his head on a platter.

Sure it is that's why teenage girls get arrested for defending themselves from imported pedophiles. Your country prosecutes and jails people for memes.

I'm a Conservative nobody dictates what I think or do but me.

Paedos just get trump to redact shit.

Maybe they could reform the theatre as a dinner venue like in Dollyword.
Magas could get a steak with their culture. As it should be.

Or they could turn it into a homeless shelter or a parking structure. There's already lots of places to get a steak and a show. No reason to have one subsidized by the taxpayers.

There is no culture in the US. Cultured people have all fled to Europe.

Seriously can one imagine Trump being a fan of the arts? The man is a doofus and fool among other traits, rapist, liar and felon. His fans like criminal types it seems. He is such a comic joke, he makes the American voter look rather stupid.

A critique of pure stupidity: understanding Trump 2.0

If the first term of Donald Trump provoked anxiety over the fate of objective knowledge, the second has led to claims we live in a world-historical age of stupid, accelerated by big tech. But might there be a way out?

If these people put politics above their craft, then makes you wonder how much they love the craft.

America is being starved of any cultural life. Im not shocked it doesnt affect you and our fellow posters.

No, it sucks, but the fact that these people are so petty that they want to throw a tantrum over trump putting his name on a building is a them problem.

I don’t agree with trump putting his name on the building but I’m also not not keen on being held hostage by other peoples emotions with their “do what I want or I’m not going to perform there” attitude.

No, the cult is the guy who puts his politics above his love of the arts

You mean their self respect.

I don’t know, if I were a performing artist and I let politics guide my career…I’d have some questions about my self respect

But they are still an artist if they play across the road and they still have their self reespct. Bonus.
Your sort couldnt even drink Bud light so you understand the concept.
