This is a bold, yet significant step, as top-tier artists are increasingly choosing not to associate with an institution that has been overtaken by MAGA loyalists, leaving an unmistakable mark of protest against the current political regime.
*************They can always get Kid Rock or Billy Ray Cyrus or Rascal Flatts.
