Re: some thoughts on Ted's queeries about art and self esteem and,oh yeah, looping



You'd have to ask Mr. Glass (the source of the quote) about that.  I've 
only met a handful of non-US artists.  My impression is that he meant that 
since there is more support for the arts in Europe (financial and 
otherwise), that American artists are forced to develop a stronger 
self-reliance.  And he's speaking as a man who drove a cab and delivered 
washing machines to make ends meet until he was 41, six years after 
"Einstein On The Beach".  

Me, I just think that American artists are like, way cuter than everyone 
else.
