| I have NO DESIRE to bring politics to this board. I basically read it to get an idea of what worth seeing or avoiding. The question that was posed was about removing a major doner's name to make the structure less offensive. Do the Koch's determine the repertoire? Does a portion of her ticket price go to the Republican Party? I don't run to Geffen Hall because of a gay democrat's magnanimous donation. I'm a gay man and I'm just happy he did it. I find it a bit comical that the two halls are across from each other and that David's name for perpetuity is in lights. I'm in a service business and my clientele is 98% Trump haters, and while I don't support him, I find it reprehensible that if I differed with their opinion, I would lose their patronage. So possibly all of the Never Trumpers could take a portion of their massive stock market gains over the last three years, create a fund, donate it to the Kock Theater and they can rename it. And while they're at it, PLEASE change the seats, they are very uncomfortable |

| Is that rant directed at me? I was actually agreeing with you, Fidelio. I liked your comeback. I'm sick of the political posts on this board masquerading as "on topic." | |

| Not at all. I just got carried away. How much AWFUL MONEY BY BAD PEOPLE has gone through the coffers of the Met, Carnegie, MOMA? We just don't know it yet we enjoy those places. The opera took out a loan on the Chagall murals. Shall we name the theater after Chagall? The Koch Theater was ready to sell the Jasper Johns in the lobby. Call it the JJ Auditorium. Leona Helmsly was thought an awful woman by many; so don't go to New York Hospital. It can go on and on and on. Our government does not subsidize the arts so we should be grateful to anyone will to give generously so that these institutions that make New York what it is, continue to exist. | |

| Thank god Carnegie Hall was funded by the enormous profits from the Carnegie Deli, not the union busting robber baron with the same last name. | |
