Entry: The Death of Music by the Spirit of Government Subsidies Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_death_of_music_from_the_spirit_of_government_subsidies#15309 Post contents: As a professional musician and monarchist, I'd like to heartily second Dr. Cathey's excellent comments. The problem is not government support--without which the arts have never flourished and never will flourish--but the kind of government and the kind of support! While it's true that in the modern era state subsidies have played a role in propping up the modernism I dislike, in an era when the music I love and with which I earn my living is so easily drowned out by pop culture, I'm not willing to trust the free market.
