The Road of #47: ARTS and LEISURE

 Date line: 2/15/25: The White House

    Imagine some guy, 78 almost 79 years of age, up on a stage dancing (if that’s what those moves are called) to “Y.M.C.A” by the Village People, shaking his “booty” to the rhythmic sounds. Imagine that same guy as head of The Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts. I can’t but t’is true my friends. #47 purged the Board of Directors, installed himself as their newest leader, and watched as other Board members resigned and artists cancel scheduled shows.

   When the president was asked about his takeover, he said: "We took over the Kennedy Center. We didn't like what they were showing and various other things."I'm going to be chairman of it, and we're going to make sure that it's good and it's not going to be woke.”

    I’m again at a crossroads of confusion and shock about this presidential move. Honestly, I think it borders on a freedom of speech/ censorship issue. A better approach might have been to “defund” the center. Let ‘em fend for themselves.

   “FINN” was a musical written for children about a young shark who "wants to let out his inner fish.”…Hmmmm…Cancelled…

   “The boss of everyone and everything” only 30 days in has called himself, “an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” His compatriot, Richard Grenell installed as the Center’s interim president boldly proclaimed  there would be no more “ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA” shown, no more “drag queen show” no more “woke” stuff. But to top it all off, #47 posted an image of himself waving his arms like a conductor in a music hall.

   I propose that in 4 years time the Kennedy Center will be renamed, The Donald J. Trump Center of The Performing Arts…and “Y.M.C.A” will be our anthem…

   Coming Soon: What will happen to the playing of the “Black” National anthem???
