Oh, God. Okay. I want, obviously, Carol Burnett to read my tweets and also my blogs from the beginning of my career. Like, that would be the greatest thing ever.

Yeah, it's funny. So much of my relationship to our, let's say, diva history here in the United States, something I concern myself with quite a bit, actually came from watching various Kennedy Center honor tributes of people like Shirley MacLaine, Stephen Sondheim. These are performances that uplift

And these institutions like the Kennedy Center, or if we're also thinking of other institutions under attack by Trump right now, like the National Archive, these are part of our living memory as a country, whether that's living memory through documents in the case of the archive or archives our living memory through the arts and sort of the story of the American arts.

And so for him to sort of infiltrate and attack and seek to dismantle these institutions, it is a great blow to the American arts community, even if it isn't something you think of as impacting your everyday life.

Yeah. So the Trump world and its many proponents from the tech overlords like Elon Musk to the anti-DEI, anti-woke crowds and spokespeople that surround him, that entire world I don't think has produced art of value. They've certainly produced messaging that is effective. They have produced pieces of propaganda through radio broadcasts and... their television programs on Fox News and stuff.

We've seen that be extremely effective. But when it comes to the movies, when it comes to music, I don't see anything being made that I could see being enshrined in a place like the Kennedy Center without being at least seen as laughable or at least coming off as laughable. Look at the inauguration. Look at how badly the arts programming at the inauguration went for them.
