24. Fuck Trump, Grenell, and the sycophants on the board.

Besides the fact that Trump defaced the building with his name, Mr. Redd has very good reason for not performing there. The Trumpists running the place aren't paying the musicians.

Bring that lawsuit, beeyotch! You will be buried in court.
