I strongly disagree- look over what the NEA funds- and listen to NPR and compare for yourself- it is relative but these organizations provide vital alternatives to main stream garbage- far more interesting and open overall- Bob Moog, Robert Fripp, etc havem all been on NPR along with many unlnowns whom I discovered through the broadcast- when was the last time you saw any of these guys on Nightline with Tom Brokaw- seriously- my 2 centavos- And personally, if I was doing large art, had the means to get a government grant to do it- who the hell cares? More power to me, the artist riding on gov't funds! Fueling my "need to make art" with govt money is as valid an endeavor as any IMO - I'd rather see the money go there than a thousand other awful government related alternatives- Cliff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Eberwein" <robert_eberwein@hotmail.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 10:03 PM Subject: NPR > Who the *F* wants government money, to make art?
