dudeKennedy Center demands $1M from jazz musician who pulled out of annual New Year’s concert in protest at Trump renaming
The clown is just trying to blow smoke up Trump’s skirt.
The reality is ALL performing contracts come with a clause that allows the performers to cancel at any time, for any reason - and this jerk-off knows it.
He’s just fondling Trump’s ego, though the real threat is if other performers see how business at the Kennedy Canter is going to be rolling from now on, they may very well consider tapping out as well… Which would be glorious.

Why would anyone sign such a contract? I thought the whole point of a contract was to guarantee the exchange of money, goods, and services?
I mean, as a worthless consumer, I agree to such things all the time, because I have no choice. I should think a performing venue has slightly more leverage.
Why would anyone sign such a contract?
Would you want to go see a performer if they were sick, or just dealt with the loss of a child or spouse or some other personal tragedy that left them unable to give you their best effort?
I’ve seen some godawful perfromences in my time and was pissed that I paid for them, and got dogshit on the stage instead.
Those contracts protect the venue as much as the performer.
Pulling out for a reason is not the same as pulling out for any reason.
What kind of contract is “show up if you feel like it?”
It’s pretty standard for most acts. That’s what kind it is. Is the venue going to say no when they have seats to fill?
