The Century of Insanity. There’s a long list of artists who have fortunately cancelled their scheduled performances at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, including most recently the renowned Martha Graham Dance Company.

Despite thousands of people in San Francisco having signed a petition demanding that the San Francisco Ballet cancel their upcoming performance before the world’s dictator — he seems to think he’s the dictator of the world — closes the Kennedy Center and destroys it further, the San Francisco Ballet refuses to cancel. Hopefully they will perform to empty seats.

I suspect some people will say, “What is wrong with San Francisco?” even though the San Francisco Ballet is not The City and County of San Francisco, but rather a private company.

One must assume that their relatively new Director is a “maga” cultist and/or the Board members are “maga” cultists, just like there is a group of “maga” cultists in the Kennedy Center’s resident National Symphony Orchestra. I tried to research the Ballet Director and her politics but couldn’t find anything on that.

Some mealy-mouthed people are saying that the Director is in a “tough spot.” No she’s not at all. She either has the courage of her convictions — assuming she has any convictions — or she doesn’t. The same goes for the Ballet Board members. If I were the Director of a group scheduled to perform at the Kennedy Center — dance or otherwise — I wouldn’t hesitate to cancel our performances. Who wants to perform at a contaminated venue that is now broken. Why would anyone want that on their résumé?

I’ve previously written that if I still lived in the District of Columbia and was a chorister in one of the three Orchestra Choruses (Choral Arts Society of Washington, The Washington Chorus and the University of Maryland Concert Choir), that I would resign from the Chorus because I would refuse to perform in the Kennedy Center with a 34-count convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter/predator pervert rapist, chronic liar, international bully and now dictator as the so-called “Chair.” Fuck off.

And the same goes for that Rick Grenell piece of “maga” trash who has no experience at all in the role of “president” of the Kennedy Center. Grenell has no experience in music or the arts or the performing arts, he doesn’t play any instrument and has no experience running an arts institution. But he’s most typical of what the dictator does by putting in unqualified people with no experience for the job they’re in.

I’m not hopeful that the San Francisco Ballet will cancel their performance before the dictator closes the Kennedy Center and begins to destroy it. The chronic liar says he will keep the steel frame and some of the marble. This is the same bottom feeder piece of gutter trash who lied about the east wing of the white house. He destroyed that, along with the Rose Garden and other things. He’s been lying — that’s all he does — about the state of the Kennedy Center. No one knew what he was talking about. In reality, the Center continues to look perfect. It sounds like it looks like it did when I was performing there.

Also, it’s disgusting to see some publications using the language of the graffiti’ed renamed Kennedy Center in their articles. Yes, some are doing that. Apparently they enjoy kissing the ring of the dictator.
