"'I want praise from the customer, given in cash because I've reached him--or I don't want anything. Support for the arts--merde! A government-supported artist is an incompetent whore!'"
Wrap your mind around that one for a moment, shall we?
In the end, we want people to buy our product, our work of art. That's it. And if we've reached them at a certain level--at a fan level--they will shell out more of their money to support the work we produce.
We do not need to rely on a government to support artists. If you feel this is the only way, step back and imagine how it could work. What would need to be true in order to make it a reality.
Then . . . make it a reality.
