"Art", whatever the hell it is, seems to be perpetuated by government spending. Government buildings seem to be a bit more extravagant than private, for instance.

I think of the Last Great Depression, and the folks who were funded. The photographers and musicians come to mind. As I've gotten older the less of it I understand, the more I think is nonsense, but someone doesn't.

I watched an interview with Andrew Wyeth last night, and was able to see his art slightly differently. All at once it wasn't prosaic, but the subjects were real and valuable. It's amazing what a little bit of understanding will do.

And bodily excretions are not "art". "Shit" and "crap" are called that for a reason. "Piss" on it has a meaning.
