Right Wing Hero Dana Gioia Can Go Fuck Himself
No one sane writes about the impoverishment of American culture while hollerin' high about the glories of the "free market." Free market means free from environmental regulation, social responsibility, labor laws and any consideration of common good. It means the biggest concentration of wealth gets an unceasing advantage.
What has that to do with art? FREE MARKET is the problem, is the engine of cultural decline.
For example Mr Gioia, how does the Clear Channelification of Amerikkkan radio affect music do you think? That question is a much more provocative question that the ones this writer asks. More provocative because it actually leads somewhere. How about the media consolidation provided us by the "free market?"
That certainly leads to a wider understanding of culture. NOT.
Or the fact that that if anything at all isn't profitable, including life itself, it just doesn't matter to the corporatist scum who control the US.
People like this dick wad running the NEA are a big clue as to the real reason American culture is so dumb. (Yes, this culture is so fucking dumb it let a pig eyed fascist steal 2 presidential elections.. and I find it so very ironic that this clearly republican - the party -of scientific rejectionism - shit bag brings up Rachel Carson in his drivel. )
Right Wing Operatives have been disemboweling the NEA for at least 25 years. After all, the puritanical, unthinking, Christian Amerikkkan public wouldn't want to spend a penny of tax payer money on Robert Mapplethorpe when they can sock it into Stryker Armored Vehicles and Halliburton and the High Art of war.
Then too, right wing operatives have been attacking the public schools for just as long, making damn sure as many kids as possible don't learn anything about art, because exposure to art helps develop integrated, critical thinking which makes you question your fascist corporatist Bush fucked government.
Oh yeah, but it must be the fault of the artists and intellectuals because they aren't Disneyfying their "product" enough.
I recently this great DVD of Netherlands Dance Theater, and dance does not film very well. Butthis was just breathtaking, as always. Wonder where they get their funding? Oh, maybe the same place they get their health care funding?
Was this really in the WSJ? Getting off to a good start for the Murdoch years.
