Protesters to form human chain around Kennedy Center over alleged arts censorship
Fox 11 Online ^ | 9/18/26 | Emma Koppelman

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Protesters are planning to link hands around the Kennedy Center in a public show of opposition to what organizers describe as political interference in the arts and changes at the landmark Washington venue.

Hands Off the Arts will host a “Hands Around the Kennedy Center” rally, beginning with a gathering on the Kennedy Center steps and culminating with a human chain around the building.

Organizers say the event is meant to protest the “President’s defacing of JFK’s memorial, his removal and censorship of art, and his threat to demolish the Center if he can’t remake the site in his image.”

I’m curious if they’ll get enough people to actually go around the building. It is DC, so probably.

Or they could grow up and come up with the money to restore and maintain it. But that would require work. A human chain is more fun and arty!

SINCE THEY LIKE BUILDINGS SO MUCH, perhaps they should go over to the White House and protect the new ballroom.

Shouldn’t it be roped off for safety concerns?

Crosses in jars full urine aren’t art. I don’t care how many drugged up college freaks think otherwise.

That Works.

Are there any pancake houses in the area?

There weren’t any when I used to go to DC every year for Rolling Thunder.

Maybe we oughta start a Franchise...in honor of Rachel.

There was once a protest in the hippie days in which the Fugs (beatnik rock group) and others linked hands in a circle around the Pentagon and chanted a mystical formula to make the Pentagon rise up into the air. Didn’t work.
The event is on their 4th studio album “Tenderness Junction.”

Wikipedia:
“...there are many wild and obscure moments, most notably “Exorcising the Evil Spirits from the Pentagon Oct. 21, 1967”, a recording of an anti-war protest at The Pentagon where protesters including The Fugs chanted ‘Out Demons Out’ and had a love-in...”

I wonder how many of them would pay for an independent inspection of the center’s construction. The ceiling should not have collapsed. Who did the shoddy work?

I'm betting the companies making penicillin saw a rise in their stock price. Same for Woodstock a few years later.

Meanwhile back at the ranch:
