Yo Yo Ma: I would never play for Trump, not even on his deathbed
Financial Times (Subscription) ^ | September 7, 2018 | Laura Battle

But surely, I push him, Bach could give Trump a valuable lesson in humility; if he asked you to do a private performance . . . ? “Would I play for him on his deathbed? No,” Ma says. “I operate on the premise that absolutely anybody can change, and I also recognise that it’s possible that somebody may never change . . . I also think, just by observing the performance arts world, huge ego is very often matched by huge insecurity.”

Sounds as this yo-yo thinks highly of himself. At least Trump has helped the economy for hundreds of millions of Americans. I wonder how many even know who yo-yo is.

He knows Big Bird and all the Beautiful People don’t know. He would never associate with Deplorables. We are beneath his grade, I guess.

I’ll bet Yo Yo would be happy to play for 0bama on his deathbed, say a cover of “You’re So Vain”.

Why do these morons continually feel the need to embarrass themselves with these stupid comments when it’s obvious nobody really gives a sh*t what he says or thinks.

Yo Yo, you have more dick in your personality than you do in your pants.

I am so disappointed to hear this from YoYo Ma. He is truly one of the great classical performers of our time. A prodigy. A musical genius.

But Yoyo has now tarnished himself and become petty by making these political statements.

He brings cheapness on himself.

Now I am going to have a hard time listening to his music or attending any of his concerts. When I’m in the mood for fine classical performances, I want politics to stay at the door.

This is kind of like football players taking the knee. They ruin it for the fans who want to experience a football game and not to have to endure political statements.

I grew up listening to Jascha Heihfetz, he was a genius violinist.

I've heard the yo-yo a couple of time. Yo yo is NO Heifetz and I would want to him to play for me on my deathbed, nor any other time!

Complete agreement FRiend. Sad, to witness how the group think continues unabated.

Yo Yo is a cellist, not a violinist.
