The lineup of honorees of this year's Kennedy Center Honors event, the first under the stewardship of ol' Orange Narcissus himself, Donald John Fauntleroy Trump, have been announced. The event itself will take place toward the end of the year.
The honorees are:
Sylvester Stallone, one of Trump's "ambassadors to Hollywood".
70's disco star Gloria Gaynor.
Broadway star Michael Crawford.
Country singer George Strait.
And, then, there's these guys..........
Yep, KISS, likely the first heavy metal band to be so honored. Bassist-vocalist Gene Simmons took part in Trump's Celebrity Apprentice a number of years back, but in more recent times, Simmons and vocalist Paul Stanley have been more critical of Trump, while founding guitarist Ace Frehley, who left the group in the 80's, has acknowledged his support of Trump, dating back to 2020.
Now, I don't know about you, but I can't picture Trump as a metalhead. Crawford's selection is a bone being tossed to the tradition of the Honors. Strait I can see as a gift to the Trump supporters in the Bible Belt. Stallone was a slam dunk after being named an "ambassador".
Let's face it. Trump is about as metal as Pat Boone was until that ill fated CD a few years ago.
Date & time for the event will be announced later. Have your DVR's ready.
