I imagine a lot of them also like Kenny G.

True confession: I happen to like some of Glenn Miller’s music myself, but the Venn diagram of music liked by me and the average Republican is but a sliver.

That's what they're up to.

Our enemies are thrilled.

When does the name change for the Center come Trump?

To a once admired cultural center. They'll hang the swastika flag out front with giant portraits of pedo Trump and Hitler.

Wait till they find out banjos were invented by black people.

It's worthless right now.

Because if someone has been doing the job for 30 years, they are probably unqualified.

They fired the woman in charge of the free Millennium Stage too because anything free is socialism.

I've enjoyed many good jazz concerts at the Kennedy Center so am disappointed to see it gone. I went to one there recently and there was what looked like MAGA prom. It was an event for conservative Gen Z for Jesus put on by the Christian Broadcasting Network.

I will always count myself as blessed for a few things, that was one. Pat sets aside tickets for military, so we had a chance to go. We were so proud, thrilled to be there. It was a superb show. Lots of community spirit and pride. Yes, he played 'This is Not America,' which I can't help but hear playing in my head these days.

I remember seeing both 'Blues at the White House' and the jazz show while President Obama was in office, on PBS. Never forget what our standard is - we will see it again.

imagine this played in there -

Trump clams he wants to make this country great again.

But he does things that is the exact opposite.

One could make a long list.

Jazz is recognized as a genuine American art form.

One sees the influence of jazz in movie soundtracks and also in classical music.

Classical music composers used it like Shostakovich, Ravel and Leonard Bernstein.

BTW, I do not give much weight to Trump's saying.
It was said on The Simpsons, first.
