@Nonilex sounds perfectly reasonable. Public events are a joint effort between the performer and the venue and the venue changed their name. By doing so they have irritated the contract with him so I think he’s perfectly justified.

The leader of the John F. #KennedyCenter for the Performing Arts in Washington has sent a letter threatening litigation against a musician who canceled an annual Christmas Eve jazz concert at the institution.#RichardGrenell, the Kennedy Center’s president, sent the letter after the musician, #ChuckRedd, canceled the concert in protest of the site’s “new” name, the Trump-Kennedy Center.#law #Congress #Trump #vanity #narcissism #jackass

Redd had hosted the show for nearly 2 decades. But he said he would not hold the concert after the members of the center’s board of trustees, handpicked by #Trump, voted to change the name — though it is not in their power to do so.Grenell, whom Trump appointed to lead the #KennedyCenter as part of his 2nd-term takeover of the institution, asserted that Redd had engaged in “sad bullying tactics employed by certain elements on the left.” [who is the bully?]#law #vanity #narcissism #jackass

“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment — explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure — is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” Grenell ridiculously wrote.He added, “This is your official notice that we will seek $1 million in damages from you for this political stunt.”#law #Congress #Trump #vanity #narcissism #jackass

The letter was sent Friday, according to the #KennedyCenter, which provided a copy to The New York Times. The Associated Press previously reported on the letter.Mr. Redd did not immediately reply to a request for comment Friday night.Until this year, the Kennedy Center was governed by a bipartisan board, but #Trump fired all trustees who were appointed by Democrats.#law #Congress #vanity #narcissism #jackass

…The renaming of the #KennedyCenter prompted a lawsuit from Rep #JoyceBeatty, Democrat of Ohio, correctly asserting that an act of #Congress is required to change the name.In 1964, Congress designated the center as a memorial to President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated a year earlier. It opened in 1971 with the premiere performance of Leonard Bernstein’s “Mass,” which was commissioned by Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.#law #Congress #Trump #vanity #narcissism #jackass

@Nonilex There are some points to be made:1. Grenell's letter, should it reach an actual legal complaint, could be answered by an anti-SLAPP motion (DC has an anti-SLAPP statute.)2. If Redd gets part of the ticket sales then he can counterclaim that the name change is a material breach of the the contract in that it repels potential ticket buyers and thus hurts Redd.3. Both anti-slapp and counterclaim open the door to discovery into Grenell's actions and also may block Grenell's ability to simply drop the action and walk away.

@Nonilex stupid shit like this will start ramping up. How humiliating would it be for the "Trump - Kennedy" Center to A) lose proposed suit, or B) get laughed at by people GoFundMeing Chuck Redd out of it?
