AI-animated satire from DOOOD What The?!. Reacts to a real news story; see transcript below.
Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. Philip Glass, the guy who writes that minimalist music you can't stop humming. So his new symphony is all about Honest Abe and was supposed to go down at the Kennedy Center in DC. But like many plans for Washington, D.C., it got cancelled. Just like that. The Boston Symphony Orchestra heard about it and swooped in with a cape saying 'We'll play it!' So while Lincoln himself was freed from slavery's chains, Glass' work dodged the cancellation axe of DC bureaucracy. Someone should write a minimalist song about that. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
The symphony about Abraham Lincoln was initially canceled at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., due to bureaucratic issues.
