“After only two weeks on the job, The Hill reports, Kevin Couch resigned in late January as head of artistic programming at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Couch’s brief tenure might seem surprising, but a better question is why Couch sought or accepted the position in the first place. With a reasonably impressive record dating back 30 years as a drummer, manager, and midwest talent booker, why swim toward a sinking ship? And a better question yet is: Why bother to keep that ship afloat at all?” (01/29/26)
