This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Some groups have already moved shows to the Strathmore and I'm sure that they would welcome more.

Conservatives have spent my entire life boycotting artists like The Chicks over politics. They're the biggest babies in history.
