Dear Editor:
The great mausoleum of music, the Carmel Palladium, announced its 70 performing acts for the 2026-27 season.
Among the recognizable stars are:
- Dionne Warwick, 85,
- Art Garfunkel, 81,
- Gladys Knight, 82;
- Mickey Dolenz, 81;
- Harry Connick, Jr., 58;
- John Malkovich, 72, and
- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, 73.
The remaining 63 acts feature either has-been or never-was persons, groups, or non-descripts.
The Center for the Performing Arts building still has a $50 million payoff on bonds issued in 2005. Average ticket sales over the last five years have been $3 million.
But the show must go on – aided by walkers and Rollators.
