I respect Polish concert pianist Krystian Zimmerman’s moxie. Oh, he hasn’t a clue what he is talking about, but he has the courage of his convictions at least, which is more than I can say for all those wild-eyed, half-informed, hypocrites in the American entertainment industry.
You see, a few days ago, pianist Zimmerman announced in the middle of a concert that he would no longer be playing concerts in the U.S. because he is against U.S. foreign policy. If you truly want to know this loon’s political complaints, there is a long, pointless and boring story about it in the L.A. Times on April 28.
Me, I couldn’t care less about this half-wit’s gripes. But I do applaud him for having the backbone to do something about it. He will forgo his money, cancel his concerts and leave this country. I say good for him. It’s about time one of these pampered “stars” in the entertainment industry finally has the stones to live up to the blather.
Of course, no true American should miss the twit, but let’s applaud him for his standing on principle. Now, if we can only encourage some of his anti-American pals in Hollywood to join him in never performing here again. Let’s hope Zimmerman can persuade several to join him in his American exodus. Folks like Sean Penn, the Dippy Chimps, Mrs. and Mr. Barbara Streisand, Mrs. and Mr. Susan Sarandon, Danny “love those dictators” Glover, “Commie Jane” Fonda, even “D” listers like Janeane Godawfulho would be a load of our minds.
The hate that people like Zimmerman and those mentioned above display for every aspect of the U.S.A. would not be missed. I sure hope that all find the same fortitude as Zimmie.
…and don’t let the door hit you… well, you know the rest.
