Doing a show at Trump's Kennedy Center now has as much stigma as doing a show in apartheid Sound Africa. Good. It should.

Reposted from Rhiannon Giddens

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

The Kennedy name should be removed & not be associated with Trump Taint

That stench is permanent

Everything Trump touches dies

They honestly should as a family request the name be removed from this abomination.

dma65a2.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think they'll probably wait until after the full JFK assassination investigation. 🙄

babyblueargentina.bsky.social•1 day ago

They have so many dead people to interview

Might take quite a long time

Aren’t they having a Monster Truck show?

Kid Rock is entertaining

Trump defiles everything.

Artists are cancelling their shows, but Trump still has the wrestlers who will rip off their shirts to the accompaniment of a recording of YMCA.

bachlvrdwb.bsky.social•2 days ago

You know it's coming. You know Kid Rock is going to appear soon.

amyoddo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agreed!
DonOld probably thinks he deserves a Kennedy Center Honor😆Can you imagine his list of honorees? Kid Rock & Ted Nugent & Lee Greenwood🤣🤣🤣
President Musk will escort DonOld😏Does he live at the White House now?🙄

Right fucking on!!!

northcandor.bsky.social•1 day ago

Kid rock can have a residency there 🤷‍♂️

Exactly

lb8819.bsky.social•1 day ago

Everyone should!

findyourpeace.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's my go to theatre venue. There is a beautiful bust of JFK in the lobby area. You know Trump will put his own there as a replacement. Won't be attending. Just can't.

foghornleghorn1357.bsky.social•2 days ago

Like Kanye being on SNL that week.

kimchimandu92.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am sure Kid Rock and Carrie Underwood will gladly fill up some spots.

findyourpeace.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump is going to have to make Republicans in Congress attend. Who else will? Not me.

The Kennedy center need to have a Spirit of Halloween sign out front until further notice.

mnobserver.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ain’t going to play Sun City no more.

Respectfully, I think this approach is a more effective protest than a cancellation, which gives the new Kennedy Center board exactly what they want.

robocopperpot.bsky.social•2 days ago

But it's ok we have the soulful sounds of Lara trump to go see....a modern day Diana Ross!!!.....but with massive fucking shoulders....

excitedkid.bsky.social•2 days ago

I heard Kyle Rittenhouse will be doing standup comedy there, should be a killer show

mikens.bsky.social•1 day ago

And Kevin Sorbo will do Spaulding Grey’s “Swimming to Cambodia” monologue.

one-infinity.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't worry, they'll have a b.y.o.b. (BRING YOUR OWN BEER) night for Trump Supporters & Kid Rock will be the master of ceremony. -ONE.😂😂😂

mark.tacular.social•2 days ago

Nah, Trump will raise the price of beer to keep his supporters away — he’s repulsed by them.

Showing fealty by kneeling before him at the rally alter is one thing. Being seen interacting with them socially… well, that’s just another alternate reality fantasy as elusive as the Loch Ness monster.

one-infinity.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who says Donald will be there to make an appearance at all??? He'll turn the Kennedy Center into the MAGA Ghetto... -ONE.💯😂😂😂

kimphilbywasbad.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump didn’t want Rhiannon Giddens and her urban music anyway

futureofmusic.bsky.social•2 days ago

We should urge some caution here: individual performers can make individual choices, but audience members might want to wait for cues from the National Symphony's union musicians (AFM), the opera's union chorus members (AGMA), union stagehands (IATSE) before talking about a boycott.

hiddencreekquilter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good for you, Rhiannon!

tjbuckalew.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. Boycott and ignore any artist in any genre who chooses to perform for the Fascist King.

coloradotransplant.bsky.social•1 day ago

Time to update the lyrics to “Ain’t Gonna Play Sun City”?

caligreg.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Woke Didn’t Make It Go Broke

The Kennedy Center is now in the red.
Trump took it over. Sales went dead.
Patrons don’t want to take a chance,
Of Trump on stage doing that dance.

e-edwardgrey.bsky.social•2 days ago

A year from now, it will be the Kennedy Center Sideshows and Midway. With an old-timey minstrel show the second Sunday of every month.

Thank you every artist should cancel.

kdxkawboy.bsky.social•2 days ago

With Trump controlling the calendar, playing at the Kennedy Center is like playing Trump's inauguration. To do so is to be supportive of him.

sherrym2167.bsky.social•2 days ago

Back in the day, artists refused to play in Sun City. They should update that song.

broadwayjoefyvm.bsky.social•2 days ago

Two things:

1.) This video was the first time I've ever seen a fretless banjo. I had no idea such a thing existed.

2.) So when will Putin's Bitch book Uncle Ped, Spoiled Bobby and Whiny Aaron to headline the first-ever Treasonpalooza festival?

kdxkawboy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've seen Pete Seeger play one. They are called a mountain banjo.

broadwayjoefyvm.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cool. It'd be presumptuous of me to think no such thing ever existed, I'd just never seen one before.

benniepup1.bsky.social•2 days ago

The new 🍊maga Kennedy Center parking lot will be filled with these🙄 I wonder if they'll provide valet parking🤔 Oh, how far we have fallen🤦🏻‍♀️

wvintrovert.bsky.social•2 days ago

For all my life the Kennedy Center was the ultimate venue for attending performances. Back then the tickets were outrageous, but I figure the prices will be surprisingly low for a very long time.

Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock: future artists in residence. smh

dreadpiratepat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure he gets a cut now.
Just wants to be a Mobster.

spikeddoormat.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm sure they'll make up the loss through UFC events and right-wing has-beens.
