I know it's all just bullying.....but hypothetically, if the Kennedy Center were in any way, shape or form setting things up so that the cancellation of a single free jazz concert in a 500-seater can cause them a million dollars in damages, they are fucking things up on an unimaginable level

To recap:
*The Trump administration illegally renamed the Kennedy Center. They broke the law.
*Now they are suing a guy who refused to perform because of the name change for $1 million.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

Good luck with that.

Editor’s Note: The law establishing the Kennedy Center explicitly prohibits its board from adding someone else’s name to the exterior of the center.

The administration is suing a professional jazz musician . . . for $1 million. Maybe Miles Davis was a millionaire? The rest of millionaire jazz musicians can be counted on one hand. Maybe they'll confiscate his piano in their effort to "defend the arts"?
