I can't stand those taxpayer-funded marble palaces known as "concert halls". Las Vegas Philharmonic OUT of Smith Arts Center. That white elephant is being financed with special taxes on folks who rent cars at McCarran. Because we all know that slot players who rent Chevys are such huge classical music fans.
There are >1,000 classical CD's in my house, covering works from Albinoni to Zumaya. My favorite *pop* recordings are from Bellagio's (classically trained) Ariel (RIP). My cable subscription includes several classical music channels. I don't expect taxpayers to subsidize my entertainment or livelihood.
Why do elists want the rest of us to subsidize theirs?
