If Luciano Pavarotti will be seething in his grave at this hideous news . I hope as lucky enough to see the great tenor at the wonderful Lincoln Centre - the Met opera - bank in 1976 when I lived avid worked in NYC. I felt like I’d died and gone to heaven . It was sublime . That the terrible malodorous pile of orange turd has elected himself chairman of a performing arts board such as the quintessential Lincoln Centre is a total travesty of all that embodies the performing arts. He wouldn’t know La Bohème if it bit him on the bum ( mind you one wouldn’t want to go there - ugh) His last for constant approbation is nauseating .

I hope to God there is no fucking band shell. It would be gold, covered in lights and have a neon "Trump" sign on top.

And I genuinely hope that any artist invited to be honored refuses said invitation. Many artists have already canceled performances; I want to see that trend continue. I feel for those who love the Center, but to have it degraded in this way by a syphilitic, diaper-wearing geriatric narcissist is beyond belief.

Call your elected officials. Tell them it's time for impeachment. And fucking make it stuck this time.

This is his revenge move on the "cultural elite" who've always considered Trump to be crass, ignorant scum. He wants to turn the site into Madison Square Garden, Rally Central. He's going to de-DEI (read: institutionalize state-sanctioned bigotry) The Kennedy Center and parade the circus clowns who supported their MAGA PT Barnum across the stage as the best of the best. Maybe Lara Trump will get to sing her Greatest Hits from the Shower.

This makes me actually want to vomit. I remember going to the Kennedy Center when I was a kid, like, I actually no lie saw Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” performed there twice, along with other famous musicals and ballet performances. We’re living in the full-blown Idiocracy now.

Other than Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Snoop-Dog, and Ye, who would attend such an abomination of the arts and accept an award from that ugly Mango Mussolini?
