Most of the people in the world admire US's generous contributions in humanitarian effort in all fronts, and try to promote Democracy, in not so democratic countries. And pianist being paid to perform his music for his contract, to lecture his political thinking to his audience, has no respect, and insult, to AMERICA and american people. Please note that you can protest world politics in printed papers, TV's viewing audiences, street corners, ....in all allowed public spaces,
not in the concert halls, to people, who paid, and came to appreciate the experience of classical music.
we need more artists to stand up to the war machine. i thought he was very brave for what he said, and while it was provoked by politics, he still has the right as a performer to announce his refusal to perform.
