The Kennedys were known as promoters of culture.

They invited these artists to the White House.

Leonard Bernstein, Pablo Casals, Igor Stravinsky, Isaac Stern, and the American Ballet Theatre.

His brother, RFK Sr. could quote from Aeschylus.

What artists have the current philistines that occupy the White House invite?

They should realize that it can be named back.
