The opening act of Kansas City's "Crown Jewel" has been announced:
Operatic tenor Placido Domingo and violinist Itzhak Perlman headline Kauffman Center inaugural weekend
That's nice, but I doubt these two legends combined could draw a local crowd as large as whatever inbred Country Music Star currently tops the charts.
TIME TO FACE REALITY!!! KANSAS CITY WILL ALWAYS BE A COWTOWN WITH VERY LITTLE CLASS!!!
This isn't always a bad thing. In fact, I find it comforting that there are so many bigass white women in this town who love to eat and aren't that picky. A more posh location would certainly play against my interests.
Nevertheless, so far there's nothing about the Kauffman Center that suggests it will draw any more fans than any of the other struggling and empty performance venues already littering Kansas City.
