The Kennedy Center Honors have been announced the inductees for December 7th.
The chosen ones are Paul Anka, Andy Garcia, Barbara Mandrell, David Foster, and playwright David Mamet.
They all agreed despite the Kennedy Center not being open, and lawsuits flying in every direction.
Mamet is an avowed conservative, but he makes sense because his selection covers theater. His plays are performed all the time, and have become part of the culture.
I don’t know Andy Garcia’s politics, but the others are all very conservative as well.
Not that they don’t deserve it. Anka has an incredible song catalog. Imagine Donald Trump singing “My Way” on stage at the Capital One Arena.
David Foster has written a lot of hits, and produced them including Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” He can put on quite a show, including the group Chicago and Peter Cetera.
But there are no Black people involved — not one, and don’t tell me Andy Garcia covers that position. There should be real outrage that the Trump Kennedy Center is ignoring this massively qualified community.
No classical music? Not a shock. Trump has no idea what that is.
Nevertheless, it’s a better list than last year.
Now, let’s see if Trump hosts again.
Set on the Capital One stage, look for a big musical production, like the Grammy Awards for old people.
