Anyone who has their name on a building has probably done some questionable things to get that far.Beebs52 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 04, 2026 3:29 pmJust a question- can artists overcome their animosity or antipathy for "names" on a venue to keep pushing for excellence? Have any of the artists performed in arenas named for questionable peeps or existing in countries that don't celebrate our freedom of expression?
A specific example, Chappelle performed in Saudi Arabia. I really like Dave Chappelle, he pulls no punches.
Just curious.
But when someone does something like this basically because screw you, it is okay to take a stand.

Trump announced that the Center will be closed for two years, starting July 2026, for “renovations.”

Re: Trump at the Kennedy Center Awards
Why do I get the feeling that those renovations will include lots of gold plating?
At least, we'll be spared the spectacle of Trump hosting the Kennedy Center Awards for two years.
