If the performance is remembered for being great, it will also have to be remembered for its venue. So & So at the Trump Kennedy Center 2025 won't look good in any decade.
I’ve played jazz set for almost 20 years. Trained classically. I also make visual art.
I can tell you with absolute certainty the majority of jazz musicians are “liberal” and/ or socialist. Same with visual artists. We’re a sensitive bunch. They’d have to force us to be there by threatening our family, and at that point we’d be balls deep in the fourth Reich
Seriously. At this point I'd settle for just canceling his ability to slap his name on everything like a toddler with a label maker. the man couldn't even let the Kennedy Center just exist without making it about himself
I think we need to leave all of it. We need to remember how we got in this mess. If there was any failing with the Biden ministration, it’s that they didn’t immediately try to fix voting and try to purge anyone involved with his last administration or the January riot. We tried to pretend it didn’t happen and that we could just return to the old norms. Our system has been broken, and only a massive overhaul is going to save us from another Trump coming in immediately after this one.
Sadly, that's a pretty fucking big "if". :-( And I say this as a Democrat, who screams at our geriatric and ineffective "leadership" to fucking do something.
I told my coworker that if the administration wants to be ran like a business, then he should be put on a pip and America should have a special election to fire him.
musician Chuck Redd, says that he called off the performance in the wake of the White House announcing last week that President Donald Trump’s name would be added to the facility.
The renaming plus the 60 Minutes, Trump hosting the Kennedy Center honors and ACTF breaking ties all basically happening in a week finally got me to cancel my Paramount+ subscription.
I probably should have done it when they fired Colbert, but he’s still on the air till May so I was waiting. But I just didn’t feel like I could anymore.
Does YouTube not payout like they do with or non-tv channels? I always assumed it was similar, but never knew. I’m sure it’s probably less than the ad dollars on traditional tv or paramount +
Kid rock was a has-been D-level celebrity 20 years ago. Now he's just a cartoon figure, like everyone who associates with the immoral, deeply corrupt gangstering the white house. Tryig to usurp the identity of a cultural center federally designated as a memorial to another president is a new low for the utter lowlife named trump. The legislation establishing the Kennedy Center explicitly forbids renaming the center or adding another name to the center. Naturally, the mentallly ill malignant narcissist that is trump ignored the law--as he respects no laws, no protocols, doesn't respect America's democratic foundation, and he doesn't respect anybody unless they give him lots of money. He's sick. He's so insecure and desperate to be admired that he tries endlessly to con people with stunts like this. trump is loathsome.
Not a fan of Newsome, but we need a president as petty as him to un-Trump everything. And do it in spectacular trolling style. I’m afraid however the next Dem prez is going to be polite and performatively “undivisive”.
He needs to spam ctrl new fucking deal populism -- so far to the left populism it will make millers little head turn red on nightly news for weeks.
- medicare for all
- childcare programs
- loans on un-taxed 'wealth and assets' (unrealized gains) make those become realized and taxable actions, end this bullshit where banker friends get their buddies money for life with no taxes.
- citizens united restored
- ban stock trading and using information to trade stocks while your in office
Populism wins DNC bs where the cozy up to the rich and want to mend ties status quo loses big.
I hope not. He’s beholden to the donor class and says he doesn’t believe in taxing billionaires. We need a fighter that will stand up to these people and represent the working class.
As fun as that would be — I just want it all gone as quickly as possible. No fanfare. Just gone. He has taken up so much space and so, so much of our energy. I would like his erasure to be complete, but quiet.
Newsome being par for the course doesn’t mean anything, the DNC is corporate owned and backed. Did you read anything about what they disagree with? I’d love to hear a centrists take on the issues in that article tbh
Oh come on, he vetoed the bill that would’ve made it legal to easily get magic mushrooms in California just in time for Matthew Perry to overdose on ketamine which is legal in California (hint hint, one of these substances has addictive properties and one doesn’t)
He’s prevented rent control, he has vetoed so many good bills
He has a tower in Chicago. If you walk on a nearby bridge or along the Riverwalk, you can see people taking selfies with his name in the background. It's disappointing.
Putting everything else bad about this administration aside, the Trump Kennedy Center is just such a stupid fucking name. It’s already named after a president. What’s next? The Trump Lincoln Memorial? Trump JFK Airport?
I have a prototype time machine, but I'm still working out the kinks. Currently, I've managed to go forward in time at the rate of 3,600 seconds per hour. I'm working around the clock to make improvements and am proud to say that just last week, my team and I were able to change the LED display from red to green. It's this kind of meaningful progress that gives me hope.
I wrote the above comment, stepped into my machine, calibrated for 20 minutes into the future, and a short time later stepped out into the future and am now hitting "post!"
Can we cut to the part where Trump goes Napoleon and has sculptures of his face put on every building which eventually get pelted beyond recognition with rocks?
Oh, he definitely wants to do that. But I’m pretty sure engineers are certain it would cause a landslide that took out either Washington or Lincoln, depending on which side they tried it on.
I'm looking forward to attending a concert by Ted Nugent and finally listen live to Wang Dang Sweet Puntang in the Donald J. Trump (and I guess Kennedy) Center.
So did the musicians boycott as well? Or refuse to play? Or was it just the orchestrator that canceled it? Either way, I hope we see more of this. 👍🏼 good job.
Trump should be given his own statue, somewhere prominent, with a ringed moat guarded over by inward facing cherubs pissing into the water. And a law should be passed the excludes is from being cleaned, ever — no matter how much bird droppings cover it and no matter how offensive the stench.
And the plaque, which must be clean and legible at all times, at the foot of the statue should read:
The only reason trump left Kennedy attached was to try to keep it from folding, getting g picked up by private controll and him being banned for life, make the last part happen already remove the creepy from the oval office flush
Expect more of this. No actual artists want anything to do with the Rapist in Chief.
Emphasis on “actual”.
If the performance is remembered for being great, it will also have to be remembered for its venue. So & So at the Trump Kennedy Center 2025 won't look good in any decade.

A liberal artist, you say? Never heard of such a thing
“Wait…water is wet?!?!”
He should have just put up “The Lying POS Felon Krasnov Center for Tacky Arts,” and not desecrate Kennedy’s name worse than what rfkjr is doing.
Let’s cancel the rest of his administration
Seriously. At this point I'd settle for just canceling his ability to slap his name on everything like a toddler with a label maker. the man couldn't even let the Kennedy Center just exist without making it about himself
I believe when we go back to normal (“normal”) these things will be removed. department of war? Really? Gulf of America? Cmon
As far as I know none of these changes are legally binding, so once they pry the letters off of the Kennedy center it should be fine.
Hopefully the damage to the facade can be repaired.
Like, of the country?
I’d much rather we repair the country rather than just the facade of it, but at this point I don’t think we can afford to be picky.
I'm afraid that is not possible.
I think we need to leave all of it. We need to remember how we got in this mess.

Unfortunately, once something is changed, it's incredibly rare for it to be changed back.
Add to that, the fact that the Dem's are notorious for 'not disrupting the status quo' and it's highly unlikely anything will be reverted.
Nah. These 'changes' have no legal status.
If the Democrats can figure out which way is up and win back the congress, it will happen. If.
Sadly, that's a pretty fucking big "if". :-( And I say this as a Democrat, who screams at our geriatric and ineffective "leadership" to fucking do something.
Worse than useless they are
Only from our perspective. From their perspective, they are being incredibly effective at doing what they want to do.
I told my coworker that if the administration wants to be ran like a business, then he should be put on a pip and America should have a special election to fire him.
I’m so all for that. 😒
A jazz evening with Kid Rock, sounds epic.
The renaming plus the 60 Minutes, Trump hosting the Kennedy Center honors and ACTF breaking ties all basically happening in a week finally got me to cancel my Paramount+ subscription.
I probably should have done it when they fired Colbert, but he’s still on the air till May so I was waiting. But I just didn’t feel like I could anymore.
You can always watch Colbert on YouTube instead of giving money to Paramount
Does YouTube not payout like they do with or non-tv channels? I always assumed it was similar, but never knew. I’m sure it’s probably less than the ad dollars on traditional tv or paramount +
Not sure but Im assuming he’s getting something from all the millions of views that he gets.
Yes and Paramount obviously does too
What’s 30 feet long and has 8 teeth?
The front row of a Kid Rock concert.
A Kid Rock concert is where 90% of the attendees know exactly how much Sudafed you can purchase with the money from a stolen catalytic converter.
This made me literally laugh out loud.
Steven Segal running security.
KISS with Gloria Gaynor. They can play the whole Dynasty album
Too cheap to pay for Kiss. Gene knows enough to get his money up front.
Wait, Gloria Gaynor is MAGA?
She donated $1M to trump in exchange for the honor.
Sylvester Stallone on bass.
Stephen Seagal on guitar
Nicki Minaj on vocals.
John stamos on drums
Marco Rubio on drugs
Wait - Stamos is maga?
Stephen to Nicki "I was in all black jazz band, I invented the genre for my black brothers"
He want the punani
Don't, just dont. No one needs to reminded of that
LOLOLOL I had a cat named Punani in the 90s but I’m just learning about this song today
Poop Dogg doing lazy rap
Kirk Cameron as MC
An evening of Jazz with Great American Family Network clips in the background.
Playing fatly.
Budweiser, you've created a monster
He could stack up a huge pile of gay beer cans on stage and shoot them with a machine gun
kid rock is a republican and pos
I think that was their point lol

Fortunately, all that shit is coming down once we have a functional adult in the White House.
"A jazz evening with kid rock sounds epic"
I hope you're joking.lmao
I mean, he’s basically doing red neck scat.
Most of which he stole from the Sugar Hill Gang.
Who stole most of their rhymes from NY street mixtapes and performers.
Well, Big Bank Hank did. Not sure about the other two.
Yeah he did!!
I taught that to my 5 year old nephew and when he was about 15 he heard it on an oldies station and just lost it laughing.
With emphasis on the scat 💩
I’ll admit I have a morbid curiosity…
Trump will now sue for a billion $$$
They knew no one would come. I used to attend the free Millennium Stage holiday concerts. Won’t set foot in there until Trump names comes off.
If you want Ford's Theater around this time does annual performances of A Christmas Carol that are very highly rated.
Going to see Guys and Dolls if the weather gods cooperate this weekend. Supporting local theatre who don’t kowtow.
Not a fan of Newsome, but we need a president as petty as him to un-Trump everything. And do it in spectacular trolling style. I’m afraid however the next Dem prez is going to be polite and performatively “undivisive”.
I hope not. Whoever is next needs to spam CTRL + Z like it’s going out of style

Yeah that ain’t gonna be Gavin Newsom lol
I hope not. He’s beholden to the donor class and says he doesn’t believe in taxing billionaires. We need a fighter that will stand up to these people and represent the working class.
I couldn’t agree more, it’s just that a lot of people seem to think that guy is Newsom.
I guess I can’t blame them much, Trump and his administration are genuinely scarring.
His rich donors don’t want that though even if his constituents do.
Thissss
Undoing everything will just get us back here, we have to fix what was broken in a way that we can secure it from happening again.
Inauguration Day celebration of taking his name off everything. Unless he pops his cork before.
Why can't Newsom haters ever spell his name right?
Because they don’t live in the US
As fun as that would be — I just want it all gone as quickly as possible. No fanfare. Just gone. He has taken up so much space and so, so much of our energy. I would like his erasure to be complete, but quiet.
Which is in fact how we got here right now.
Personally I think, or maybe hope, that the pendulum is going to swing back a bit harder this time
If you look between the stunts he’s a corporate dem who is constantly looking to move the party right instead of representing his constituents wishes.
As a Californian he hasn't really governed like that (except bending over for the electric companies)
Go look at the bills he’s vetoed and reconsider.
Really? I think a lot of actual leftists would disagree with that
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/09/01/tkpb-s01.html
A lot of leftists will disagree with anything (as a die hard liberal). Newsome is as good as any of them (except Bernie, but that ship has sailed)
Newsome being par for the course doesn’t mean anything, the DNC is corporate owned and backed. Did you read anything about what they disagree with? I’d love to hear a centrists take on the issues in that article tbh
Oh come on, he vetoed the bill that would’ve made it legal to easily get magic mushrooms in California just in time for Matthew Perry to overdose on ketamine which is legal in California (hint hint, one of these substances has addictive properties and one doesn’t)
He’s prevented rent control, he has vetoed so many good bills
it’s not normal for a governor to veto bills
it really isn’t
What about 50 cent?
Newsom is perfectly capable of being normal. He only acts “petty” to rub it in MAGA’s face how horrible they are.
We don’t need another petty President. 8 years has been enough.
They don’t call Gavin Newsom “American Psycho” for nothing
Everything with Trumps name on it needs to be cancelled
Not the Trump Toxic Landfill and Trump Manure Processing Plant. They should stay.
I want his name struck from everything.
When I finally figure out time travel, he’ll be struck from history entirely.
Nah. The only thing I want to see with “Trump” on it, is a gravestone
Manure is useful.
The Trump Koala Chlamydia Ward
He has a tower in Chicago. If you walk on a nearby bridge or along the Riverwalk, you can see people taking selfies with his name in the background. It's disappointing.
Good for him, don’t entertain despots
Can't wait to burn every last remnant and memory of this pedophilic goon and all his acolytes. You'll all live in infamy, you pieces of human garbage.
Everything Trump touches, dies.
True, like democracy in the US.
Well he likely signed his contract to perform at The Kennedy Center not the Trump Kennedy Center.
Kennedy center is complicit. Don’t give them any business until they remove the name.
Silent night every night
Why does the stupid asshole have such a hard-on for the Kennedy center anyhow?
It's a 'memorial'. Something built in Memory of someone...
Putting everything else bad about this administration aside, the Trump Kennedy Center is just such a stupid fucking name. It’s already named after a president. What’s next? The Trump Lincoln Memorial? Trump JFK Airport?
he is the Grinch if the grinch raped the kids of whoville
Nikki could twerk instead probz.
If only I had a time machine. I could fix a lot of things for humanity.
Greetings from the past!

Kid Rock standing by
Tony danza and dean Cain can emcee
Can we cut to the part where Trump goes Napoleon and has sculptures of his face put on every building which eventually get pelted beyond recognition with rocks?
ATP I’m waiting to wake up and find out he’s carved his head into Mount Rushmore
Oh, he definitely wants to do that. But I’m pretty sure engineers are certain it would cause a landslide that took out either Washington or Lincoln, depending on which side they tried it on.
What's the best way to support Chuck Redd?
Buy his albums Go to his shows
The Kennedy Center has never been as successful as it is now. Just ask Trump. Another business Trump will bankrupt.
It should have been called off when Trump took over the board
Chuck Redd showing what integrity looks like. Trump knows nothing about that.
Trump is a proven looser
“People” voted for this clown.
I'm looking forward to attending a concert by Ted Nugent and finally listen live to Wang Dang Sweet Puntang in the Donald J. Trump (and I guess Kennedy) Center.
Are there any traveling Argentinian tango groups?
“Eh fuck it dude, let’s go bowling”.
Somebody should give him the idea to rename America to Trumperica. UPT
So did the musicians boycott as well? Or refuse to play? Or was it just the orchestrator that canceled it? Either way, I hope we see more of this. 👍🏼 good job.
Trump should be given his own statue, somewhere prominent, with a ringed moat guarded over by inward facing cherubs pissing into the water. And a law should be passed the excludes is from being cleaned, ever — no matter how much bird droppings cover it and no matter how offensive the stench.
And the plaque, which must be clean and legible at all times, at the foot of the statue should read:
NEVER FORGET @convictedcriminalpresident
You mean cherubs pissing on the statue of Trump. Seems more apt for this degenerate.
Americas aura loss has been crazy
Wynton holding strong. ✊
All this winning - I can barely stand it
What’s the matter, they can’t book Kid Rock?
Nandi had him booked for a private skin flute show
Wait...he had no problem playing until the name changed? It was taken over by Trump months ago, and he was still going to play ,🤷♀️
Luckily, the Military Music Corps of Venezuela is currently looking for a gig.
The only reason trump left Kennedy attached was to try to keep it from folding, getting g picked up by private controll and him being banned for life, make the last part happen already remove the creepy from the oval office flush
The new future residency of kid rock. 🙄
Trump, by namesake, hop in and take over starring and performing duties. Really class it up, jazz flute, and or spoken word.
hope they all cancel! one of Trump's more stupid moves.
good, but unfortunately not his last abomination. 😈
Christmas is back!
Wonder what his contract stated. He might be in some trouble.
Principles > trouble
