everything has to be validated according to its appeal to retirees because they are a large demographic who are careless with how they spend their children's inheritance.  

 

Speaking as someone who isn't quite so old as to have forgotten youth.  What good is a damn stereo costing more than a college education.  The long term cost of which is already going to kill any chance of owning a home or starting a family?  Oh right, this is just a plea for trust funder's to drop easily attained cash on easily attained goods for easily attained associations with adulthood.

No, the classical music scene is not really flourishing. Been to a symphony concert or an opera recently? How about one of those high-definition Metropolitan Opera remote performances at a local theater?

 

The amount of press given the arts in general has taken an abysmal turn.  Major news papers and established bastions of good taste simply letting some very skilled and highly regarded people out the pasture gate so they can give more column inches to celebrity culture has turned into an epidemic.  

 

Can you imagine performing publicly as a serious musician named Kim Kashkashian in today's environment?  I wouldn't blame anyone who ran for the exits after reading the first four letters.
